About that crack company? 60th rifles here by sunset under the command of Capt Frederickson.. I think the scene were Sharpe meets Sweet William is one of the best scenes in the whole series..
Sweet William is my fave character in this series...imagine him coming at you without his teeth and wig with a sabre in his hand..a wonderful scary man but full of humor
Sharpe's Company is missing. So this is NOT in chronological order and NOT all of them. Viewers will wonder who "that guy that hates Sharpe" is because there's a whole chapter missing.
....this is probably the best Sharpe's of the Early series & look out for "Sweet William". He'll scare the shit out of ya when the battle starts. As good & as dirty a fighter as Sharpe for sure.
@TheBType Yeah it's too bad they couldn't of had the battle as descibed in the novel of Sharpe's enemy in the vid, but still they did a really good job converting a novel into a movie.
Major Sharpe should have replaced Boromir........He could have been sent into Mordor with his sharpshooters and would have stuck a STICK in the EYE of SAURON, saving the entire World now...THAT is F'ing SOLDIERING!!
WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT FREDERICKSON?!!! hAHAHAHAHAHHA ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL LOLOLOLOL OMFG LOL Sharpe! What a classic hahahha i'm crying. What are you smiling at Frederickson? "I'm not smiling Sir... a musketball broke my jaw... I have false teeth...." L M F A OFF!!!
@pawpawno1 Honestly, I found Bean's Sharpe to be somewhat more compelling. The novel's Sharpe, while tremendously awesome, was a tall, black-haired Londoner, while Bean's a short, sandy blonde Northerner, which again highlights his coming from the more humble working-class of Britain, and possesses an extremely strong sense of personal honour in contrast to many of the aristocratic officers he meets. The novel Sharpe has five women on the go at once, which isn't very admirable at all really.
@pawpawno1 I think this version of Sharpe is as much of a fighter as the novel version, it's just not always shown dramatically, for the usual reasons they don't show something that would normally be shown: not in the budget.
The 60th were originally American but then became part of the experimental corp of rifles (losing most of the Americans) before that became the 60th and 95th Rifles
Slight correction there, the 60th were a redcoat regiment, until the 5th Bn were formed in 1797 mainly from German mercenaries, they wore green jackets, and were issued the Baker Rifle, the 95th were formed in 1800 and were known as the Experimental corps of Riflemen, being clad in Rifle green from their inception. The 60th later became all Green Jacketed, and became the Kings Royal Rifle Corps, the 95th Rifles became the Rifle Brigade in 1816, and later the 3 Green Jackets in 1958, later becoming the 3rd Royal Green Jackets in 1966, there are now respectfully 2nd and 4th Bn the Rifles. So the 60th and 95 only became together in 1958, along with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry
@Songsmirth I think it's more along the lines of a common law marriage as opposed to a formal thing... Not sure about the novels (as I haven't read all of them yet), but in the films; they never have a marriage ceremony.
9:42 the shock on that soldiers face, it was like? Oh god a man, not again, why does this keep happening. As he starts to question his sexuality whilst finding Perkins still strangely attractive 😔
Alternate history, Theresa survives the war, as does Sharpe. They settle in Spain with considerable wealth but no pretentions of nobility. The Glorious Revolution of 1868 moves up to 1830 with Generals Richard & Theresa Sharpe leading the charge for Republicanism and against the Carlists. Sharpe must negotiate with Wellington who is allied with the Ancien Regime but ultimately prevails.
@Zajuts 149 Commissions in the 60th were normally given to americans but after america became free its ranks were filled by exiled germans that couldnt join the KGL (Kings German Legion)
Fredrickson is an officer from Westphalia, formerly in the service of Hanover. When Napoleon conquered Hanover many of the soldiers escaped to England, where King George was also the King of Hanover . the German systems didn't have purchase officers as such, and he is a minor aristocrat given his education.
@@Svvithred Many thanks. It's the second song with the name John. The first I heard was Johnny's gone for a soldier which was also sung by Tams in this TV series.
@@Svvithred It's fascinating anyway. I always try to learn more and more about regional stuff like that concerning Britain. This helps understand the country deeper. Without that it will be more difficult to understand humour and sense of different phrases from the book and movies about Sharpe
It wasn't Sharpies good looks or his rough charm she fell for its in fact she found out he was a follower of the greatest football team in the world yes he follows Sheffield United
Upon the occassion of Sharpe being made major: Last line Episode 6: Farthingale: Who am I to question his Royal Highness . . . all I know is that Sharpe cannot . . . rise to the occassion and purchase a watch ---" first line Episode 7: Farthindale: "You may borrow mine sir!" Note 1: one in 20 officers raised from ranks Note 2: one in 5 commissions purchased Note3: one in 20 line promotions by purchase with promotion by seniority more common than by merit. Note 5: 1814 = 10K officers
@Zajuts149 - Many of the Colonial regiments were bunches of scruffy, rag-tag sorts. But because they were usually raised from frontiersmen - country sorts who knew how live off the land and shoot game - they usually made better line regiments than ones raised from city dwellers who were trained to fire volleys from muskets. Their officers were usually not rich aristocrats either, but middle class.

Agreed 100%!
Sweet William is my fave character in this series...imagine him coming at you without his teeth and wig with a sabre in his hand..a wonderful scary man but full of humor
Leading a crack company of almost two dozen men. I love low budgets.
Well you have certainly mastered the arts of ending episodes when they are the most exciting ;)
Sharpe's Company is missing. So this is NOT in chronological order and NOT all of them. Viewers will wonder who "that guy that hates Sharpe" is because there's a whole chapter missing.
@@braveconcepts Sharpe's company is uploaded on this very channel :)
@@dustinritter388 No it's not. You have to watch it on Dailymotion.com..

Yes!!! Sweet William has come, to pown everyone!!
"Its always me" wait how many times have they tried sneaking into a place dressing perkins up as a woman.
....this is probably the best Sharpe's of the Early series & look out for "Sweet William". He'll scare the shit out of ya when the battle starts. As good & as dirty a fighter as Sharpe for sure.
"It's either that...or wear a dress ROCKET MAN." 😏
Sweet william what a name for a officer in the army haha! XD

now...THAT is F'ing SOLDIERING!!
Sharp knows he is being played after Sgt Rossner answers his question and can hardly keep himself from busting out laughing.
WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT FREDERICKSON?!!! hAHAHAHAHAHHA ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL LOLOLOLOL OMFG LOL Sharpe! What a classic hahahha i'm crying. What are you smiling at Frederickson?

But in the end, Cornwell was so impressed by Bean's interpretation of Sharpe, that he started adapting his stories to fit in with the TV series.
sweet willy is a legend hehhehe
i love his half - always smile :D
@Songsmirth Life Expectency
If you can surive the first battle, you can surive the rest.
(And the ground's only hard when you wake up, belive me!)

They were sharpshooters

9:27 this is the second occasion in sharp where cross dressing appears to be acceptable. 🤔
Very liberal.
Cromwells Ghost
Well, if it’s ok for the god Thor...
@Isildun9
Sweet William! Huzzah!
I like comparing the old painting from the era to the actors and costumes
9:42 the shock on that soldiers face, it was like? Oh god a man, not again, why does this keep happening. As he starts to question his sexuality whilst finding Perkins still strangely attractive 😔
sweet william, class!
I realise what that scene was implying, but not gunna lie girl looked like she was just having fun crowd surfing.
Yes! Sweet William has arrived

Hagmans hair is getting longer and longer xD
Sharpe being an officer is definatly a one off, so how the hell did Fredrickson afford his comission?
Fredrickson is an officer from Westphalia, formerly in the service of Hanover. When Napoleon conquered Hanover many of the soldiers escaped to England, where King George was also the King of Hanover .
the German systems didn't have purchase officers as such, and he is a minor aristocrat given his education.
Just the opening movement, I fear..
@gaelwynmackwyn Probably foreplay......
4:28 - when he realises that this could have been him; all it took was one lucky shot by some random French soldier.
Can anyone tell me what song Hagman is singing at 6.47? I will appreciate that
It's a traditional tune called "O, no John"
@@Svvithred Many thanks. It's the second song with the name John. The first I heard was Johnny's gone for a soldier which was also sung by Tams in this TV series.
@@КурсыиностранныхязыковвМоскве no worries at all, apparently the song originates from the County of Norfolk, which is where I'm originally from :)

5:38 Hagman and Cooper instantly know Perkins missed
I watched this series last night. Now I find myself engrossed once again 😊
"Hair belongs to a horse, sir" i love Sharpe's reaction to that.
I'm a hearing impaired veteran, but I swear I heard him say the hair belonged to a whore sir.
I think Captain Frederickson is way ahead of the game...
This was the A team
Upon the occassion of Sharpe being made major:
Last line Episode 6:
Farthingale: Who am I to question his Royal Highness . . . all I know is that Sharpe cannot . . . rise to the occassion and purchase a watch ---"
first line Episode 7:
Farthindale: "You may borrow mine sir!"
Note 1: one in 20 officers raised from ranks
Note 2: one in 5 commissions purchased
Note3: one in 20 line promotions by purchase with promotion by seniority more common than by merit.
Note 5: 1814 = 10K officers
4:05 That one extra just can't properly hold his rifle...
Perkins is like Private of Penguins of Medagasker. Lol
@Songsmirth IDK if he married her in the show. He did in the books, But he was far from faithful to her. He cheated ever chance he got.
I don't quite think they show everything that would have been done to the poor girl, thank goodness for that too.
FREDRICKSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Captain Frederickson FTW!
Poor Perkins!

A rape... Very odd definition of something to show in a movie...
loooooool
I want to dress up as a British Redcoat for Halloween.
Sweeeeeeeet William
rather odd definition of rape...
spin the chick in a circle. Well, watever makes em happy, i guess.
9:42 ftw xD
6:36
