All good stories end far too soon and as one of the biggest hits on the B.B.C., The Musketeers, will attest as it draws to its finale, such stories are only possible to love because they have been given absolute care and love by those involved and the audience at home; that rare mix to which so many lengthy serials strive for but so few actually grasp the true meaning of The Prize at hand.

A fool always lets themselves be known by their cravings for gold, the glimmer of the precious metal as it dazzles upon the finger, as it collects dust in a vault, some cannot ever have enough and some see it for what it is, the means to survive. It is always better surely to have none and lived than fall foul to the curse of Midas.

The manipulation of a single moment in Time, the guise in which our last moments on Earth can cover and disguise every intention and possible misdeed that went before it, is as easy to fall into as the truly heroic and virtuously noble man to slip into the bear pit of a single mistake which undoes every honourable and moral act ever taken…manipulation of a single moment is always remembered by history in the final breath of the person and one that can signal the Death of a Hero.

War between the two great 17th Century European superpowers of France and Spain was never one that ended easily or with much gained upon either side; just lots of dead men, lots of potential wasted and heroes made, some of bronze, some of clay.

When the world turns on a single fateful decision to topple a King, the fall out is never going to be pretty, the lives that become embroiled in the plot, whether they know about it or not, are going to change, perhaps even ruined and the ultimate measure in Trial and Punishment is set, the pawns and the people placed in it all will feel the wrath of the King.
