[Mount Suribachi]

Waterloo last week, Cromwell the week before, Went the Day Well the week before that, whats with something decent to watch on TV for a change?

I'll probly tape it as I hope to be listening to game 2 of Oilers v Wings over t'internet this evening.

I will be watching mate , can't wait for Sharpes challenge. Hopefully the battles will be better than the last sharpe episodes. I hear there is a great line from Bean in this where someone says "Sharpe are you going to defeat this massive rebellion?"

Sharpe replies "Well there's no other bugger going to!" Pure greatness with plenty of arses going to be kicked no doubt

Cannot wait!

Is Harper going to be in it still?

Harper is over in India and gets captured, cue Wellington telling Sharpe and sharpe headinf for India with rifle in hand, probably not in green but red uniform and kicking everyone around with war cries and gun shots. Sharpe was only tv series i knew that saw a grown man collasping after a kick to the backside with scores of French soldiers fleeing through fear of being kicked in the jacksie by Richard Sharpre

Here's a question!

Who's Sharpe?

[The_Doctor]

It should be good, though in the books he never goes back to India.

Yeah they have used characters such as william dodd from truimph and fortress in these new programs played by toby stephens. I don't mind though as long as they are good and not as dismal as the makers attempt at sharpes gold which was pure rubbish

Gotta agree there, Sharpe's Gold was a great book, but the tv version was....aweful.

And of course, he will get to shag the saucy daughter of some local noble who has been kidnapped by [insert suitable baddies]

Of course, salman rushdie (sp) wife is playing the main love item and i must say she looks very sweet indeed

What a breath of fresh air. Better budget, better acting and simmerson and dodd were wonderful bad guys. All in all, quality

[The_Doctor]

It was very good, even though it was just the first three books merged together and some of the character where a bit different.

Fantastic episode, great cliffhanger ending

If you have read Sharpe's Tiger you will know what happens.

[The Blind King of Bohemia]

I think the start was great, straight from the pages of Sharpes triumph, probably my fav sharpe book, its a pity that antony pohlman hasn't made it, i loved that character

[Divine Wind]

It was pretty good i thought, i cant wait for the assault on the fortress tonight! Who was the actress that old Sharpey will obviously have some rough and tumble with, ive seen her in something before...?! Shes very beautiful.

[Ianofsmeg16]

If you have read Sharpe's Tiger you will know what happens.

I've read all the books

[Templar Knight]

Brill, glad to see Sharpe back

[The_Doctor]

It was very good, even though it was basically Sharpe's Tiger.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Not Really, It had Chasalgaon from Triumph, Dodd from Triumph and Fortress, but yes, the basic storyline was Tiger
