Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    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?
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    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

    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

    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
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
