Sharpe's Mission - Part 1

[@taoliu3949]

Btw, the Sean Bean and Abignail Cruttenden met on the show and got married in real life. And got divorced 3 years later

[@bronsonperich9430]

Lol. At least 60's year old penniless and alone on the streets.

[@tiernanwearen6624]

Life imates art

[@chimpdongs]

Breast technology was so insanely far ahead back in those days.

[@DouglasEdward84]

Mark Strong is an underated actor his performance in this episode really adds to the excitement and intrigue

[@Jimbo8012]

Everyone used to ride/drive on the left hand side. Here's why: 1) It was a sensible precaution in feudal societies. For example, the vast majority of people are right handed. If you're right handed, it's a much easier to draw a sword from the left than the right. 2) It was designed to limit the possibility of an opponent using your own weapon against you. There's no way they could reach across you if the weapon is on your left; 3) Right handed - easier to mount a horse on the left etc.

[@ridgesail]

Lances are held across the body from the right, with a shield held on the left, so the horses passed each other on their left sides.... The opposite of how they drive in the UK.

[@arthureustaquio8835]

I just noticed, practically all of the sharp episodes there is at least one traitor or deceiver in the ranks

[@markelshout2085]

He spends more time dealing with traitors etc than actually fighting the frogs :P

[@yogsothoth7594]

Its a good plot device for letting him put a face to a villain and have an opportunity to talk to them more.

[@MartinWVOandA]

Mark Strong has also played the heroic Captain Titus in the Ultramarines video game. And the Sinestro that he played in "Green Lantern" was a hero. Most of the way through.

[@MartinWVOandA]

Fair enough. They are available, if you're interested.

[@MartinWVOandA]

Fair enough.

[@HaNsWiDjAjA]

"They wine and dine and make polite conversations", aww Richard Sharpe will be damned in peacetime. Good thing he ended with a farm in Normandy to toil in.

[@PrincessSys24]

"Make sure their women over 40!" Love that line!!!!XD

[@FurryAminal]

For some reason I'd like a grapefruit....can't think why. ;-)

[@donaldcampbell3043]

I know these are a lot different to the books, I think this is one of the best stories

[@flameblitz]

Awww... Jane is so sweet~

[@burningforyou6078]

This aged so bad 😂

[@Da_Captn]

She's a total skank....I mean floozy trollop

[@Someloke8895]

It goes; Rifles, Eagle, Company, Enemy, Gold, Battle, Sword, Regiment, Siege, Mission, Rvenge, Justice, Waterloo, Challenge, And the in production Peril

[@Apalaceboy1905]

sharpes eagle was first

[@gussiejives]

I love that Mark Strong has made a name for himself after seeing him in this.

[@MegaBabyjordan23]

I do not know of the history facts of the show but it is a much better show than what is on TV today. Slave Master Sir Sharpe is a good show.

[@shovels2]

this episode is a through back there still in spain and its after talavera i think they did it before sharpe was married so they could have a love intrest

[@eddiecooper77]

Thanks for clearing that up I was really confused.

[@bofts]

Thanks for uploading these

[@Bjarku]

Thank you for uploading the only one not on dailymotion! Hopefully KZbin takes its time removing it

[@user-ns3vs3bp3e]

Seeing Mark Strong with hair is a weird experience

[@chapmasi]

Sharpe is like the Chuck Norris of the Napoleonic era.....

[@Maksimfan]

@articulategrunt1 in the books Antonia is adopted by Teresa's brother, Ramon and Sharpe never sees her again

[@harlequin2614]

oh man jane has got some might fine knockers!!

[@user-ns3vs3bp3e]

She acts like Sharpe couldn’t have a role in society in England... he could just rock up at the palace and spend time with the prince of Wales again 😂😂😂 probably get put in command of some regiment of his, even in peace time he’d get a heft pay cheque and a high position due to friendship with the prince and his command

[@DarkDomain]

@hairlessbaldy There is no book called Mission, but I think this episode is loosely based on Sharpe's Tiger and Sharpe's Justice.

[@javamann1000]

I wish they would make a decent version of C.S Forrester''s, "The Gun".

[@dcsoxford]

"The Pride and the Passion" 1957 starred Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra,and Sophia Loren.

[@Lee_Enfield95]

Or “Death to the French” or in the US it’s called “Riflemen Dodd”

[@BtoZproductions]

@whalahiguy if you read the little title at the begining it states its after talavera, and that the year is 1810. this is kinda like a prequale, it comes after sharpes eagel but was released after sharpe;s seige as more back story i guess

[@TopGunSGA]

@dramatification The first book published was actually Sharpe's Rifles

[@Lachausis]

That major Brand was Sorter in the movie Revolver

[@myredute]

What happened to the cronological order. We're now back to previous episodes of 1810.

[@nswords]

those have to be bolt-ons!

[@ridingwithsoumo2710]

I noticed there's always a new traitor, new deceiver and a new hot women in each episode...

[@hwplugburz]

Wow! Just saw "the challenge".This is exelent! I watch a Lot of tv-series, dvd`s , and dockumentays,, love evrything to do with history, and i almoest cant beleave i have never even heard of this stuff befoore. Wish ide stumbled across it a mounth ago, then i could have seen them all in 1 go at x-mas. thx for posting:) (how many episodes are there? )

[@gloin118118]

"put something in your ear so you cant hear it" each to his own

[@Olekander]

@MyJimmyMonster Its hilarious I got irate because Im a die hard sharpe fan, I read all the books, and watched the films time and time again when I was about 6-10 years old ahah! I'm now 19, so its been a while. I just didnt remembe why there was a time jump.

[@jameskit]

Sharpes a captain because its a flashback

[@weeknightingale]

Thanks!

[@bakersmileyface]

My hero

[@pat10034]

thank you

[@marquilla]

You mean Sharpe? He started out as a private, though it's not shown in the series. (He's already a sergeant in Sharpe's Rifle if I remember aright).

[@sethclark6593]

Sharpe's Tiger- Private- Sgt Sharpe's Triumph- Assaye becomes Ensign to the 74th (Scots)- Reassigned to 95th Sharpe's Rifles- Becomes Liutenant and the rest is history. I'm skipping a tonne of the books. He eventually finishes at Lieutenant-Colonel

[@omega856]

I do love the outfits women wore to bed in those days.....lol.

[@halfpintgamescast]

@MrIrishscouse Agreed, what I was getting at was that maybe he was the british equal to the american "idea" of Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris still doesn't compare.

[@gabba1gabba1hey]

thanks mate!

[@TheReaperODST]

i didnt, i just stared

[@welshboy19]

awersome!

[@Maksimfan]

@5bradh be sure to read the books, they're even better! :)

[@davidberger2069]

Bernard Cromwell's Sharpe is partially based on at least one soldier who started as a private and eventually rose to being a Colonel in the British Army between 1803-1815. Sharpe isn't implausible. Sean Bean may be shorter and fairer than the author's character but Mr. Cromwell is a fan of Sean Bean's portrayal. After Bean had the role, Cromwell stopped describing Sharpe's physiology.

[@thexalon]

There are 2 basic parts of Sharpe's story that are improbable: 1. That he survived for so darned long as an infantry officer. 2. That he seems to heal from almost any non-lethal injury in a matter of a couple of weeks maximum. Also at least questionable is the fact that approximately every young woman he encounters wants to sleep with him, which was not the prevailing behavior in the early 1800's.

[@Lachausis]

And which sodlier would that be?

[@jmo4262]

do you know his name?

[@davidberger2069]

No I do not,when I get it I'll pass it on.

[@petersiebert7906]

I assume you mean Cornwell (without wanting to appear too pedantic).

[@coolmantay]

@jaffa1121 It's showing what happened back then so you understand what happens later in the film.

[@itsaguinness]

I love the sharpes series but its almost unwatchable because of her.

[@mokko759]

She is by far the worst character in the series and that even includes that disgusting, farting, filthy wagon master from Sharpe's Battle.

[@theAngryscotman]

She was okay in the first two episodes she was in. Don't know why she's become all snobby with him all of a sudden. Teresa will always be the best of them though. Fucking Hakeswell.

[@bakersmileyface]

I never liked her. It's like he met her twice and they got married. I don't understand it.

[@Jelperman]

Oh yeah? Explain Cliff Richard!

[@sargentaaron2004]

@aloradanan Indeed... if the impact doesn't kill her, the infection will.

[@JFrancoFerre]

you can see the shadow of the cameraman 5:28-5:32

[@rmas32]

Taken from "Heartbreak Ridge" or course!

[@Zichiable]

Jane is hot though. Sean Bean knew this irl.

[@june1935]

thats means sharpe's first wife is still a live thats great

[@TopGunSGA]

@dramatification Ah, when I replied to your post I had thought that you meant that Tiger was the actual first novel. My mistake

[@drgunnwilliams5185]

In one way Sharpe's & Star Trek episodes are the same - go tee and conquer, Sharpe/Kirk gets the girl! 🤓 I know, me bad!

[@Gooseman2k2]

And Archie in RocknRolla.

[@spwb2k]

is this the episode right after "Company"?

[@SDKM4o]

so this is the reason officers are always late to formation.

[@squeesmyth9025]

is this the right order?

[@Isildun9]

@articulategrunt1 with her mothers relatives. i recall that's who raised little Antonia.

[@AnarchoFeminist]

Poor Mark Strong. Always the bad guy, rarely with hair.

[@JoeBarnes95]

whay were line infantry guards, a main force

[@Birdshavewings]

Great comment, Joslynn417!

[@whalahiguy]

how does sharpe go from a major to a captain.. especially after what he did in sharpe's seige? which was suposed to take place right before this episode

[@darkraven5106]

The scene was a flash back, to before Sharpe was promoted in Sharpe's Enemy. Hence the "three years later".

[@halfpintgamescast]

@Ohloveeh Tru dat, but if i were to compare actors, I would arrive at the conclusion that Sean Bean is the british equal to chuck norris.

[@AB0VETHALAW]

No

[@calumarthur1989]

Urm this ain Sharpes Mission duhhhhhh!

[@FlagstaffslowTV]

The breast episode in the series.

[@owenmills3517]

Bahh the lad has taste

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

That intro makes one quiver does it not?

[@Laktaka]

@MoodyatoR Have a read of Patrick O'brians' book series and then watch the film Master and Commander, now that is mixed up!

[@cclukebangladesh]

hm....how bout the coldstream guards? the grenadiers?

[@TheLordEspada]

@hwplugburz there are 16 episodes

[@9215]

I'm confused. I thought Mission came after seige...? so why is Sharpe a captain again?

[@8Ball2221]

@joslynn417 haha thats very good mate :)

[@gabba1gabba1hey]

whats the first episode in this?

[@tonka565]

I thought sharpe was a major not a captain..

[@saelaird]

mission does come after siege. strange

[@Fred4Forever]

what happened to antonia, his daughter?

[@thedukeofswellington1827]

What i wouldnt give for a good carbine

[@ashcraftworkshop]

It was 1:52 f or my. It was awesome.

[@Someloke8895]

No problem

[@lestat1591]

im wonder are snipers called sharpshooter cuz of sharpes

[@Denseus1]

@wakeoftheflood2 maybe sharpes into that sort of thing ¬_¬

[@Olekander]

@MyJimmyMonster I realised the errors of my ways ;).

[@crisfire33]

did she just throw the camberpot on sharpe?

[@peterbrown9662]

Why did Sharpe have that long coat on at the start and as soon as he was pinned down he was not wearing it, and he never carries as much gear as the rest of his men, and his men never get shot, yet the red coats get knocked down like nine pins all the time. you always know who will get killed the same as on Hornblower and Captain Kirk when ever her took a party down onto a planet, it was always the one who was not one of the main characters that got killed.

[@AB0VETHALAW]

...because there'd be no story if Sharpe died...?

[@headcasey6375]

Did he like, abandon his kid? or did i miss something

[@vixmilo]

thats nice at 7:48

[@MarshalLucky1]

Yeah, love those Tits On The Half-Shell gowns! 07:48

[@TopGunSGA]

@Evilmike42 All except Sharpe's Challenge and Sharpe's Peril (Well at least I don't think they come with it)

[@gthbf1]

Id liken him to Harrison Ford

[@duckmann08]

um.. he actually started as a leutenant

[@jaffa1121]

Hold on Newly Promoted Captain Sharpe erm timeline order fail me thinks or he just got depromoted to Lt for sleeping with so many women and then they said "hmmmmm maybe thats abit harsh how about Captain for you?"

[@A_massive_wog]

@chapmasi I'd liken him a lot more to Han Solo.

[@PUKANA69]

she reminds me of a britis girl i got with....... and they are actually cute here :)

[@musclesmouse]

why did they need to start in 1810

[@-Thunder-Warrior-]

@Ph2nt0m Its a flashback at the start, mate :p

[@scluna44]

what? why is Sharpe a captain?

[@coolcraignvodka]

Tut tut, not like Sharpe to be a bad judge of character!

[@saelaird]

That woman has.... well.... Astronomical breastage.

[@TopGunSGA]

@notonedrum I'd say you're right

[@todashpaladin19]

wait....sharpe supporting someone else's heroics? what the hell?

[@articulategrunt1]

He is married with new wife and all, where is his daughter?
