Managing a KZbin channel for a near 30-year-old TV show and introducing it to thousands of people who'd never heard of it in 2021 Now _THAT'S_ soldiering.

[@james87367]

This channel is absolutely amazing.

[@Southern_Crusader]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@arky3000]

one of my fave scenes is that fort scene

[@TheLazyass111]

I wish I didn't have to sail the high seas to watch it. But none the less, I need more Sharpe

[@jsb1585]

I finally got around to watching full episodes of Sharpe rather than watching them in small doses on KZbin. I'm glad I did, the show is great. They did a lot with such a small budget.

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

That's soldiering. I have probably watched the box set a 100 times. They even play full episodes to this day on Irish television. They're brilliant, however I recommend the books, they're even better.

[@dchegu]

@@IrishTechnicalThinker that will not do,good sir surely u mean soldiering,. Not soldering. I shall report these mistake to my cousin in horse guards.

[@stijnvdv2]

yeah, the show is great! Stuff like this isn't getting made anymore coz the movie industry has been infected with woke progressive politics. There are some plot holes though, like the kid of Sharpe that past half of the series is only mentioned once again and then totally forgotten about; probably coz romance isn't so romantic if the MC has a kid XD and the low budget really stands out in the fighting scenes that are more akin to the Zorro series I watched in the 90's but was made in the 80's. Most of the dialogue is good, most of the languages nailed... though the Swedish actor playing the Dutch 'sergeant' to give the order in Dutch to present their arms and shoot is ridiculous. I had to have subtitles to understand what he was saying and I am Dutch, but kudos for the actor for trying; Dutch is a pretty difficult language to learn for foreigners XD

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

@@dchegu HAHAHAHAHAHA! Legend!

[@lordomacron3719]

Watching these days I like to play spot the young actor! Looking back Sharpe had quite the Cast.

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

Hakeswell couldn't have been played more perfectly. In the books he is much worse but every detail of his mannerisms are done to perfection. Says so in the scriptures.

[@Southern_Crusader]

You know every time I see that actor in something I immediately yell, “Obadiah!”

[@jonathankerl1565]

God, in the books he was terrifying

[@MongooseTacticool]

Pete Postlethwaite, great actor.

[@windsorSJ]

Peter Postlethwaite was his name. Sadly he is no longer with us. One of the best UK actors in my opinion. I've enjoyed all of his characters, he breathes life and reality to them all.

[@feliperisseto9113]

He is simply disgusting.

[@CMage101]

Simmerson: "I have a cousin at Horse Guards, and I have friends at court." Wellesley: (looking up, the expression saying, "DID YOU JUST TRY TO *THREATEN* ME, YOU MISERABLE LITTLE STAIN?")

[@Southern_Crusader]

I love that scene! Best on television in history.

[@seangallagher1947]

A man who loses the King’s colors loses the King’s friendship!

[@68jroche]

Majors Lennox and Hogan were drawn from historical accuracy. Engineers had a very slow promotion track, and richer people and nobility were promoted despite a character like Lennox deserving promotions but losing out because he could not buy higher rank. Even Sharp was stuck as a major until 'Silly Billy' made him a Colonel in the Dutch army. There's a common theme throughout the Sharp series about how talented soldiering could only take someone so far. Even Wellington had to do this dance. He eventually became Prime-minister!

[@SantomPh]

@@68jroche a Major cannot buy a colonel's commission without establishing his own regiment (very expensive). It was intentionally difficult to become a colonel without new troops to command, otherwise the British Army would be full of captains and not enough majors or captains. Sharpe and Lennox were promoted on merit each time, Lennox in India and Sharpe in Portugal/Spain.

[@michalsoukup1021]

You did not need to raise a regiment, you could buy your colonel's commision when they retired. Sometimes the officers of the regiment pooled together to make that purchase because it meant promotions for everyone.

[@F4GRAPHICS]

Sharpe is simply the role Sean Bean was made for. Awesome series.

[@DragonHeart613]

Sharpe is the role that launched Sean Bean's entire amazing career. The Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Goldeneye, Troy, The Martian, Snowpiercer: The Series, all of it thanks to Sharpe.

They're all good for different reasons. My favorites in order: 1)Ducos = most intelligent 2)Hakeswill = The Joker 3)Simmerson = antithesis of Sharpe

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

I'd add that Loup is a reflection of how Sharpe would be if he broke bad.

[@josephmassaro]

@@eldorados_lost_searcher I forgot Loup. Yeah, I agree.

[@Southern_Crusader]

@@eldorados_lost_searcher Never thought of that.

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

@@jr5925 Disagree. Loup shares Sharpe's devotion to his men, but without his scruples. Hakeswill has no scruples or loyalty to anyone but himself (and his sainted mother, says so in the scriptures, so it does).

[@chesterstevens8870]

I quite liked Dodd, myself.

[@recapdrake]

I love how there are more vilainous scenes that could have been used for Simmerson, but that scene with Wellington is just too dang good to not play again.

[@ourllamacalmerfarminfrance239]

Feodor Atkine (Dukos) was very kind to my wife helping her, along with a French train employee to find an alternate route home when her connecting train from Paris was cancelled one night. It was only when she was watching a Sharpe episode with me that she recognised him. She just knew he was a Russian actor.

[@Wenchework]

[@J14Irish]

'He said you lost the kings colours' gets me everytime, fantastic acting!

[@backrowbrighton]

Sir Henry Simmerson did have something of a tiny redemption in 'Sharpe's Peril'. He called Sharpe 'Richard' and they shook hands at the end. Closure of a sort.

[@talavera9515]

The look on Sharpe's face when Simmerson offers to shake his hand there is the most wary, suspicious and distrustful look I have ever seen in my entire life. If Simmerson's hand were writhing with snakes he couldn't have looked at it with more distrust. I like to think of Sean Bean practising that expression for years, saving it for the day Sharpe was senior enough to use it.

[@Southern_Crusader]

@@talavera9515 He really is different from most actors out there. A different breed from the soulless acting of today.

[@talavera9515]

@@Southern_Crusader I agree, he's very special, and he doesn't get enough credit. So many people seem to think that he's really like Sharpe or Boromir, so they don't think he's even acting, whereas so far as I can tell, it's his character in the recent _Time_ (BBC) that's much closer to his real personality, and people are saying he should get a BAFTA for that.

[@talavera9515]

@@jr5925 I wouldn't know about critical recognition as I only discovered Sean's work at the end of last year, when I decided it was way past time to watch _Sharpe_ . I'm going by the number of comments I've seen on twitter about _Time_ to the effect "I never rated him as an actor but he was really good in this". Even the DIRECTOR didn't believe until after they'd shot the first scene that Sean was going to be capable of playing Mark Cobden convincingly, which if you think about it is pretty insulting. That kind of thing is what I mean by "he doesn't get enough credit".

[@james87367]

Simmerson was a nasty vile man. I would have never made peace with him.

[@Soundwave3591]

You can tell Sharpe is _LOVING_ outranking Hakeswill here: he can finally get his own back and Hakeswill can't do anything (publicly at least)

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

Obadiah Hakeswill will always be Sharpe's greatest villain. Absolutely vile.

He's hated by the entire army in the books. Everyone wants him dead but he can't die. Says so in the scriptures.

Lord Simmerson was a villian at first but madness turned him around and brought him the spirit of a true warrior who stood by his men and fought back instead of running away. And he did it in a sleeping gown. Huzzah to you Lord Simmerson.

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

I know he's not a villain, but Hugh Fraser plays such a good Arthur Wellesley. He is every bit the man authoritative enough to bring down Napoleon.

[@dchegu]

But he never could managed to show rage and anger like the first actor that played wellington. See the scene where he exploded at simmerson about the king's color. Other than that, he is quite good.

If you don't want him dead you should probably switch up the target area of the punches... 4-5 solid slugs to a man's gut can cause internal bleeding.
