Fans of BBC cult classic The Musketeers can rejoice as all three series will be available to stream on iPlayer starting next week as a box set.

Based on Alexandre Dumas's legendary characters, The Musketeers debuted on the BBC in 2014, running for three series until 2016. It was also broadcast on BBC America.

It starred Tom Burke as Athos, Santiago Cabrera as Aramis, Howard Charles as Porthos and Luke Pasqualino as d'Artagnan, with Peter Capaldi appearing in series one and Rupert Everett joining in the third.

After the success of The Musketeers, Pasqualino, who previously played Freddie on Channel 4's Skins, starred as Elvis Harte (RIP) in BBC's Our Girl. He can currently be seen on Sony Crackle's Snatch.

Tom Burke went on to portray Cormoran Strike in the BBC's adaptation of JK Rowling's Strike detective novels.

And if you're a fan of period dramas, all six episodes of 2016's War and Peace, starring Paul Dano, Lily James and James Norton, will also be online from next week.

Last month, the BBC announced that every single Doctor Who episode since it was revived back in 2005 is now available on iPlayer.

That's all ten series and every single special, including the mini-episode 'The Night of the Doctor' in which Paul McGann reprised his role as the Eighth Doctor as part of the build-up to the 50th anniversary special in 2013.
