dragonofmemorySo apparently I need some sort of Doctor Who/Three Musketeer crossover. I'm aware that this has been done before with Church and Crown in the Big Finish main line - and quite wonderfully too. I enjoyed Church and Crown a lot.
However, after watching the new Three Musketeers and seeing James Corden (Craig in New Who), we decided to make a day of it. Now we're watching the Disney version, which will be followed by the Micheal York version. Except, watching the opening credits of the Disney version, Mem realized that Holy Shit, one of her favorite movies has Paul McGann in it.
HOW DID I MISS THAT?
Not only that, but he's the shrieky, wimpy guy who's chasing after D'Artagnan. It's slightly scarring actually, to realize that is the Doctor. Well, will be the Doctor. This movie came first. Still, very scarring.
At the same time, now I want more Musketeer/Doctor goodness. Come on. The Master could be Cardinal Richelieu. It would be awesome. I know there's a Tim Curry Master prompt on the anon meme. Actually, come to think of it, I've considered writing for that prompt with the Three Musketeers in mind. Except I've got too many fics lined up to write. Sigh. Someone write it for me? I'd love you forever. <3
Now I'm going to continue watching the Disney version in peace and try not to think to hard about the casting of certain characters. -_-;;;

And apparently also has Paul Mcgann in it as the shrieky, wimpy guy. ^_^;;; Seriously, he screams like a little girl. He doesn't even sound or look like Paul Mcgann... Both my mother and I did a double take when we saw the credits and then when we saw him.
