[@Dotson6996]

Thank you so much for posting these. I stumbled across a clip a week ago and fell in love. Northern Wolf, not all heros wear capes.

[@Dotson6996]

Update, I've watched all that I could in America without having to pay a bunch of money. Great series! Sean bean is fantastic in this.

The video, in massive letters: Sharpe's SIEGE Video title: seige Now that's historical soldiering

[@MinisterAilingTongue]

I just want to thank my local library for giving me chance to stumble upon this...that was already 7 years ago. This and Hornblower gave have given me a greater interest in history.

[@RasMajnouni]

Hornblower was great, to my mind a better made series.

[@coolcraignvodka]

Gaston rules!!! One of my most favorate characters in all the Sharpe series combined!!

[@downloadgoblin]

4:04 .I love the relationship between the french officer and the cook.

[@aussiedadreviews]

Dipping bread in your General's soup? Now that's real soldiering.

[@FoxfirePoet]

I use the Sharpe theme as an alarm clock now >.>

[@joeturner1597]

Who the hell would fight for a rag? You do Richard. You do. The winter is going to be long and cold. Time for another Sharpe fest I think.

[@gussiejives]

The screenwriters forgot they needed him later on. :D

thanks for posting all of these

[@salvagemonster3612]

This shows story lines seem to have come directly from the a American tv series TOUR OF DUTY.

A Heroic Enterance!! Way to go Sharpe!!XD 2:11-2:26

How did Ducot survive getting fragged by some looters?

H Hartman and i think stabbed as well

[@TheSauron21]

I had the EXACT same response! At first I was like... "This is dumb!" and now I think its an awesome theme song!

Yeah, a Colonel in command of 50 men, of course :-/

GOD SHITS ON THE KAISER!

[@SDsailor7]

Why don't they show the whole episode! I don't want to see little bits and pieces. Dammit

[@hartleymartin]

@2manynegativewaves - Must have been a 90's thing. If they had done the exact electric guitar part with orchestral strings, it would have been much more effective.

[@camerl2009]

as Hagman would say best thing for a twing in the tooth is best brown paper and paraffin oil lol

[@ChristInMeA2Z]

the episodes are getting better :)

[@gussiejives]

Harper, you don't want to mess with tooth abscesses, they can spread to the brain.

[@julianmhall]

Any infection can once it's in the bloodstream.

I think because it's already available, uploaded by another user. Just search it and you'll find it.

[@dewytripp]

jane is real annyoing

[@chargrave6004]

The screenwriters certainly did some major adapting in this episode. They completely wrote out the American privateer Killick and added a woman who was never in the original story. None of the 'crew', Dan, Pat, Perkins et al were in the book either. Also the story took place in winter, here it looks like mid summer.

[@Maksimfan]

Light Dragoons had Light Cavalry Sabre

[@AtharAqua]

If we were to go back to 1996, your guess would be correct - 10 movies, 15 books. Hence, your info was outdated. There's no need to be offensive or abrasive, I was merely correcting you for the sake of someone wanting to know, and your answer being wrong. It isn't hard to find the information, so instead of saying "there's about", you should have said "I think there's about", or "I'm not sure, but I think". By making it a solid statement, you made yourself seem.... daft.

[@teamminecraftify]

he died a fine death even doh it was weird. :,(

[@BenWGray]

Why am I at -5 for that lol

[@LordWellington15]

Ya WTH?!

[@DouglasEdward84]

I love General Clavet and Gastogne his attache they are my favourite French characters of the series.

[@julianmhall]

Calvet.

[@paulpeterson4216]

Calvet and Gastogne are the French equivalents of Sharpe and Harper. Calvet, in particular, is the best French character in the series.

[@Ebeneezergoode1]

Ever since I first saw this sat at the foot of my Dad's arm chair as a kid, that single guitar chord's sent chills up my spine. Sharpe n' Harper are about to march!

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

General Clavet and Gastogne so close. He lets him dip his bread in his soup...They must have been through much together. To earn each others respect..

[@julianmhall]

Calvet.

[@scoobydan1585]

love the 1813 gutar riff

I thought Ducos was killed by a French squaddie back 3 or so episodes ago!

@@saheliumd7182 I noticed but, it was when I watched the series on Dvd. So how come he is alive later on?

[@Cozza84]

Wellington and his chief of intelligence taken in by an imposter to the extent that they sent an entire battalion on a wild goose chase? Good job horseguards never heard about it....

[@ESFAndy011]

I wholeheartedly agree. When I began watching the series, I was like "what the hell, an electric guitar?". Worst of all, this was right after I finished watching Hornblower lol. But it grows on you very nicely after a few episodes.

[@missquinberly]

Whenever I hear the electric guitar I want it to go into the opening theme for something like Trigun or Dragon Ball Z

[@SBS336]

Harper knows how to get round Sharpie :D

[@Theobamafile]

One of the best series ever!

[@billybilly1231]

wait wut i thougt duco got shot by one of the deserter frenchies?

[@-Thunder-Warrior-]

I'm sure these later episodes began to show more humour as the seiries went along, which is of course, a good thing!

Thanks so much Wolf

[@neckronn99]

Ok, how the frak did Jane go from nice, helpful and sweet here to homicidal maniac in Sharpe's Waterloo? Did I miss something?

[@lyndonjames9178]

Yes she ran off with all his money. Her Lover spent it and can't pay it back😀😀😀

[@julianmhall]

You're assuming that sweet and helpful was the real Jane.

[@julianmhall]

On one hand it's been 'many years' since Maquerre was home, so the defences of the castle could be weak, but on the other he claims intimate /current/ knowledge of Bordeaux's population. If it's not obvious by now he's a traitor then Monroe and Wellington are wilfully blind.

[@Mehow80]

Ducos? HERE? WTF? Is that his brother? Oo

[@jaspermoss94]

I love General Clavet and Gastogne THERE HILARIOUS!

[@julianmhall]

Calvet.

[@Dauntles101]

betcha he dosen't know either, or care. Brandy's Brandy

[@moistcakebytheocean3442]

I like how the first frenchey on horse back got shot and fell before sharp even fired a round. My only problem with the acting in this show is how people fall when shot or stabbed, like in episode 3 when sharp shoots a French dragoon and he grabs his arm and falls off his horse dead like why the fuck did an arm shot kill him instantly and it's painfully obvious that every sword fight ends with the sword in between their arm and chest.

[@AkashaEm]

Ducos didnt get shot before this. He gets hit a couple of times but thats it. He gets shot in Revenege, when he does die

[@crisco362]

he must hate his kid antonia

[@spiderlime]

the one they never made: sharpe's raptors. sharpe goes to south america again (he did once) only to discover the valley of gwangi...

[@brucehorsfall2685]

Why do the French cavalry sound like NPCs from Mount and Blade?

[@DoTheHustle27]

@glasswind0ws If you mean Ducos he doesn't die until sharpe's revenge. At least in the books.

[@Fargoguy54]

It's S-I-E-G-E.

[@saelaird]

No it didn't lol. This was made in at least 1994 if not 95. Honour was earlier.

[@Albukhshi]

@glasswind0ws Sharpe's Honor, not revenge. and he does not die till a later episode.

[@joeturner1597]

And I saw John Tams at Warwick Folk Festival in '15. He did not disappoint.

[@Albukhshi]

@flatschie because they're al dragoons. but they're not completely identical.

[@subaru013]

Apparently he can survive being stabbed o.o i was sure he had died in honour o.o so i agree WTF?!

[@Karkaroff26]

Cool and I am a big fan of the Sharpe series but Siege is my favorite book and I liked the film.

insanemustaine13 i belive the epsiode is the very first sharpe movie.

[@RasMajnouni]

Even if you've seen the film or all of them, may I suggest reading anyone of the whole series even not in historical order. You get a much deeper insight into the history and background + politics of the times, common soldiers comssioned officers and the historical heroes!I read them all and was pissed when there were no more left!

[@julianmhall]

I recommend chronological order, starting with Sharpe's Tiger in India. That way the books make more sense.

[@RasMajnouni]

I read them in order all, 2 times. the FILMs were really 2 dimensional in spirit.

[@julianmhall]

@@RasMajnouni the films had a different target audience and purpose. Also nobody knew how popular the franchise would be so the budget was low. Plus they missed out books and combined others. Oh and the usual 'artistic licence' excuse.

[@RasMajnouni]

@@julianmhall Yes! you are correct. Sean Bean always plays the same snide,cynical and mean character. It was the British attempt at what Mercans call :"Kiicking Ass". And the real story behind, in history the British truly loved to kick ass and steal international wealth too.
