I like how Camoynes has to politely push Sharpe into asking for what he wants. Dude has no problem fighting a hopeless battle against french hordes. But maneuvering through the treacherous waters of court politics? Hopeless.
Should have asked for a promotion to Lt Colonel, as he is still just brevet Major and in theory could be reduced in rank to Lieutenant, as a promotion to and above Lt Colonel can't be take away, at least under the regs of the period.
The acting in this was amazing, but the scene in the book was even better. Sharp demands that Sir Henry simerson remove the colors from his home, and the general has a fit when he finds out they were there in the first place.

I’d like to pay tribute to the actors that are playing the parts of the villains here and congratulate them on doing such brilliant jobs of making their screen personas so unlikable . It’s easy to fall in love with the hero of a show like this but if the actors playing the bad guys weren’t at the top of their game then you wouldn’t hate them as much as you do.
Rumpelstyltskin that he is. It’s just that I never would have imagined that Sharpe would get this much recognition on TH-cam. So Glad that it does; I love the humour in the comments section as much as the clips them selves.
I love how the smug looks are wiped away from their faces. You would've thought that Simmerson would've learned his lesson about trying to outdo Sharpe yet he just keeps on forcing his foot in his mouth further each time.
Demanding to serve under an incompetent superior officer and refusing to let him resign his commission before setting sail to Spain . . . That's not merely soldiering, but clever bastardry.
I noticed when Sharpe wanted Girdword to be sent to Spain instead of being able to resign his commission, Fenner looks like he actually chuckles there for a half-second. "That poor man..." sort of thing.
@@mymartianhome she was a good woman for him tho. As good as camoynes and Teresa were for Sharpe they had their own concerns that came before anything else and that included him. The woman he married however was extremely supportive. Iirc she was not particularly fond of the English initially, but ended up falling for an unassuming Sharpe why simply was trying to do the right thing as he stayed at her Chateau to heal. It is a pity however the price that was payed for that last relationship.

I dare say my favourite book would be Rifles. But that may simply be bias due to being the first book in the series (chronologically it was as well) that I picked up and read some 18 years ago.
British television at it's finest, right up there with Horatio Hornblower, Downton Abbey and Sherlock. It's heads and tails better than most of the tripe we have in America, with few exceptions.
The image I have of a bunch of drunken aussie blokes swearing up a storm while wrestling crocodiles with Sharpe and cracking beers just has me rolling right now.🤣
i love the fact they used a big horse and carriage folley sound to cover the vehicle traffic noise outside the windows. Still one of the best scenes from sharpe.
Funny, I never noticed that. It was a Sunday we filmed this I think, but we were in the City of London so a few buses perhaps. I was in this scene, and gave Michael Cochrane an aeromodeler magazine I'd had for years, with an article about him and his friend Tim Woodward in BBC 'Wings' way back in the 70s. It was a lovely few days...
I'm new to the series. The acting is quite splended! Transports me to a place and time I never knew, but am now quite intrigued by. . Carry on, Thorpe. Carry on, indeed.
No, I believe he (John Savident) met a young (yet legal) man socially and they later retired to Savident's house, presumably to play Scrabble or an impromptu game of Twister, where it reputedly turned violent.... One of those 'confirmed bachelor' type stories that was intriguingly buried rather quickly nudge nudge wink wink and so on etc....
It is perhaps testament to Michael Cochrane's acting that I find Simmerson an utterly detestable fool of a man. Simmerson has pride where his honour should be, self preservation where his bravery should be, and for all the value he places upon being a gentleman, he is perhaps the most unworthy of the title that I can think of.
Still managing to get in a dig against Sir Henry Simmerson after your evil scheme has been rumbled and Lady Anne has turned the tables on you .... now that’s Fennering.
Sean Bean should have married Caroline Langrishe, too, rather than Abigail Cruttenden. Would probably have worked out much more favourably than hooking up with the latter.

Then simmerson left the army and changed his name to Oliver stirling and moved to ambridge, before that he had the name of Cranleigh and loved the game of cricket,
It is now. Back then not so much. It was untamed with little infrastructure. As another example, you probably think being assigned to the Caribbean would be pleasant. And now it would be. Back then it was basically a death sentence due to tropical diseases.
Lady Carmoynes = Caroline Langrishe, She also played "Charlotte Cavendish" in the series Lovejoy ~1994 aged 36. Another aristocratic type character which makes you say "dayyyymm"....even if you were 8 years old at the time. So I hear.
Cuts off before one of the best lines of the entire scene. Maxwell ''Sharpe you told the truth'', Lady Anne ''the truth General Maxwell, will be whatever I and lord fenner decide and for him it will prove devilishly expensive''. Showcasing that Lady Anne is the real winner at the end of this shabby affair enavbling her to get out from under Fenner's control..
the start of sharpe's downfall. Lady Anne wanted Sharpe, but Sharpe had eyes for someone else. i wonder how differently the following episodes would have been if Sharpe went with Anne. Sharpe the battle veteran with Anne the political veteran. he still be rich, he wouldnt need to "lead" a yeomanry, he probably would still be under Wellington at waterloo as a major. Harper, Harris and Daniel at his side.
@@eisenkladAgree as anyone would have been a better match for Sharpe than Jane in hindsight. As Anne wouldn't have stabbed him in the back and would have remained loyal and loving. It would haver been a marriage of equals, both experienced in harsh reality of life, rich and attracted to each other and able to advance each others careers or standing in society.
"On sighting Lady Carmoyle entering the room, I naturally remained lounging on the windowsill; that's my style sir."

Wonder who came up with simmerson grunt? Really adds to the character imo
Oh that look on Lord Fenner's and Sir Henry's faces when she turns up with the evidence of their wrong doings is priceless lol
That's Lord Fenner to you, laddie. He would only be Lord Simon if he were the son of a duke.
@@drkyre oh whatever
The general in this scene is hilarious. "I sir like I was *poured,* sir!
He sure stood up quick when she brought out the ledger🤣
Simmerson is just wonderful to watch every time he appears.
"I insist this is done properly. I say I insist this is done properly!"
"Introduce me!" - In that moment I fell in love. :)
It’s amazing how Sharpe always wins, no matter how many of his superiors stand in his way.
Sharpe and Hornblower entertainment at its best
Sir Barston sounds like they’re going to say “Sir Bastard ,” every time lolz 😂.
the sharpe series and hornblower series are the best dramas ever [plus band of brothers]
Lady Camoynes is bad ass!
I love how everyone takes turns dissing on simmerson. Shows just how low everyone's opinion of him is after losing the colors
Love this show and omg double release today
What makes Sharpe interesting is that Cornwell no doubt did his research
Not knowing what the word 'request' means? Now that's soldiering.
Would being in charge of a Convict Guard in Australia be such a bad thing? I have heard it is a beautiful country.
It is now. Back then not so much. It was untamed with little infrastructure. As another example, you probably think being assigned to the Caribbean would be pleasant. And now it would be. Back then it was basically a death sentence due to tropical diseases.
Give Sharpe his chosen men, a few baker rifles, one ornery, but loyal, Irish Sargeant Major and he'd of had it sorted out in a few books.
All these men play checkers. She plays chess.
She is a real doll!
Lady Carmoynes =
Caroline Langrishe, She also played "Charlotte Cavendish" in the series Lovejoy ~1994 aged 36.
Another aristocratic type character which makes you say "dayyyymm"....even if you were 8 years old at the time. So I hear.
Cuts off before one of the best lines of the entire scene. Maxwell ''Sharpe you told the truth'', Lady Anne ''the truth General Maxwell, will be whatever I and lord fenner decide and for him it will prove devilishly expensive''. Showcasing that Lady Anne is the real winner at the end of this shabby affair enavbling her to get out from under Fenner's control..
the start of sharpe's downfall.
Lady Anne wanted Sharpe, but Sharpe had eyes for someone else.
i wonder how differently the following episodes would have been if Sharpe went with Anne.
Sharpe the battle veteran with Anne the political veteran.
he still be rich, he wouldnt need to "lead" a yeomanry, he probably would still be under Wellington at waterloo as a major.
Harper, Harris and Daniel at his side.
@@eisenkladAgree as anyone would have been a better match for Sharpe than Jane in hindsight. As Anne wouldn't have stabbed him in the back and would have remained loyal and loving.
It would haver been a marriage of equals, both experienced in harsh reality of life, rich and attracted to each other and able to advance each others careers or standing in society.
