Sharpe's Canon: Prologue

Here is the start of a brand new series documenting the Sharpe novels and their spin-off movies. Over the course of the series, we will compare and contrast the novels and their respective episodes, to see who did the plot better.

And the original Wellington was the son of Patrick Troughton, the second incarnation of The Doctor.

Turning up late to the video but enjoying the presentation despite misprononcing names and going on to watch the rest of the series...? Thats soldiering

[@magnificus8581]

Someone had a lot of fun with that intro!

I have never read the novels , but I loved the tv series with Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe alongside the ever faithfull & loyal Sgt Patrick Harper (Daragh O`Malley), Daniel Hagman (John Tams) & Harris (Jason Salkey) , I`v always looked at them as one of the best Tv series ever made and they will always be high in my Tv top 5 series ..

Audible. Its pricey, but I found ot better than reading the books.

I knew nothing about this character! Very fascinating stuff.

Stay tuned for more, mate!

Please add some volume. It's not so low I would turn it off, but it's close. Let me add the first "That's Soldiering."

[@LNER4771]

Sorry, still working out my audio set-up. Hopefully next episode will be more standard.

When does the Next Season of This Is Public Broadcasting Premiere?

[@LNER4771]

Next year I think. Again, taking a sabbatical from it this year.

"Colonel Wesley"?!?!

[@LNER4771]

Before he was Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, he went by his family name Arthur Wesley. He changed his surname to Wellesley in 1798.

@LNER4771 I learned something new today, thank you.
