So Major Duco went from Spain to inform Napoleon, which is marching into Russia. And the actor playing Napoleon, he played as a steward of Captain Hornblower.
2:07 I love that the Old Guard has British muskets. The Charlevilles didn't have the brass fittings the Brown Besses do, they had steel instead. I mean, I get why, for economy's sake, but its still funny to see one of Napoleon's children armed with the weapon of perfidious Albion.
Better LATER than never. You were lucky, this show is absolutely amazing. I'm still surprised they showed this in my country in the late 90's. Probably because it didn't cost much.
@kapelmuur I find it vaguely amusing that because of Sharpe and GoldenEye he's basically pidgeonholed into one of two roles: the dour, duty-minded, but honorable soldier, and the foreign traitor bad guy. Which one he is in which generally depends on how American the director of the film is usually.
hi. Does anyone know what that white cover/ bandage shit is that the French infantrymen always seem to wear over their hat/ headdress? looks like ... a big white cover?! is it a waterproof cover? lol cant seem to find this info anywhere. there's some clearly visible on the soldiers hat at 1:04 and onwards through that scene.
It is a protective cover. Usually black oilcloth but the French seem to have used lighter fabrics. The lavish headgear of various kinds was protected against weather and wear. Found in Prussia, England, Russia and among, other armies as well. In general, the uniform in all armies in the field was modified. Partly to save the uniforms and partly to replace the worn ones with what they came across. Often, maintenance was difficult to provide for uniforms and equipment to the extent needed for extended periods.
@suelizjohnson French was the universal language before English. Funny when you think about it, before the British Empire. The only place that spoke English was a tiny country in Europe, not unlike the Danish language in Denmark.
its funny 1:42 that Napoleon send off his generals when Major Duco is going to tell his plan while Napoleons guard behind him rank private can hear all... like they cant sing to their buddies when drunk compare to the generals
Actually if you trace Sean Beans family tree back, his great grandfather was shipped to Aus on criminal charges. So he has got a Aus twang to his voice as he spent time their as a young boy, working on his grandfathers pigeon egg farm.
I've heard a lot of bashing of the electric guitar but you can't beat that opening riff if I am 115 years old and that gets played I will think of Sean Bean and Daragh O Malley
2024 and here I am watching Sharpe..
In life napoleon was highly intelligent. He read up on the latest findings in physics and engineering.
How dare you spell honour like that in a british series

and also the tv repairman in Dr Who (Tennant era)

We should all have a friend as good as Pat Harper...
I wish I did.
I can imagine his feelings when he got the job i mean in one movie you're an emperor, the other a steward. I rather be the emperor.
So cool that they showed us Napoleon for an episode.
Ramona is such a sweetheart. ❤
Killing several Uru-Kai Orcs with 3 arrows in you ...now that's REAL soldiering

“¿Cómo está usted?”
They’re already lovers!
How long before “¿Cómo estás?” ???
Sean Bean = underrated actor.
4:58 "Hello, fire"

Napoleon would look so much like hitler if he had a moustache
thT'S SHARPE'S seige. that is like the 10th episode i believe.
Hey man I appreciate you uploading all of this you’re a hero

wrong fucko
Language:
French revolution -
* French spoken in 'salons' in Spain and England
French spoken by Russian officers around this time - by Napoleon
At 3:00 is that a zipper on Napoleon's polartec jacket? The French must have been the most advanced nation in Europe at the time.
I love the series, but I despise watching it. It drives me to play Napoleon after every episode...
The napoleon actor was in waking the dead the other week. It was about serbs and stuff. I think he was also in the Film 'Hot Fuzz' !
For England, James? XD
"Too Australian-ish"? Sean Bean has probably never been to Australia.

Say....isnt the actor playing Boney the admiral's steward in Hornblower..?I believe it was Pellew's steward the one who escaped to America??
The Borg Queen wants to assimilate Sharpe!
@kapelmuur - Not in Britain. Over here he's a household name. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Game of Thrones.

they couldn't afford Al Pacino this is ITV 3 in the UK, not HBO
@Drew82a: You're serious?!
yeah. they completely portrayed him wrong. He wasn't evil like that...

He has the face of a criminal 🏴☠️
@parabat7 why thank you very much parabat : ) This will no longer irritate me !
Does look an awful lot like him if it's not.
the first I saw sharpe was on tv (half through) do you have the 1 were he defends a fort with clam(lime) dust
@dog75k
More important roles for French characters in this particular episode. Assume they're speaking French and it's being translated for you.
A million ?
So in that game you can see wther or not they a full supply of of extra hats.
Like with the TARDIS?
Sure, why not?

No, I have no idea what you mean.
You spelled honour wrong.
Best Line
Dunk again Harper?
Ohh.. me to sir.
6:42 a joke in 1993, a legitimate argument to some today

Milkman Dan after
@@burningforyou6078 lol commented that 7 yrs later lol
@@Zero59663 lmao u never know
