- Sharpe has an ingenious plan to distract Duco's soldiers before ending the battle once and for all.

Welcome to the official TH-cam channel for Sharpe.
Sharpe is a swashbuckling period drama series about a British officer fighting during the Napoleonic Wars starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, and Daragh O'Malley as his second in command, Patrick Harper.
SUBSCRIBE to relive all your favourite moments from the show.
When Sharpe meets Napoleon in person for the first time in Sharpe's Devil after Waterloo and during his exile at St. Helena, Napoleon actually references that Calvert mentioned Sharpe a few times and he remembered that Sharpe was involved in this incident. He then went on to tell Sharpe that he would have likely been promoted to Brigadier General by Waterloo or even before that if he had fought for him.
Then they kissed cute
Very likely, Napoleon gave exactly zero fucks about what was proper. He promoted based on merit and ability, even if he wasn't always correct.
"Every soldier carries a filedmarshalls' baton in his backpack."
One thing Napolean had over the english, he didn't restrict himself to pay to play officer corps.
Errr….it’s fiction, duh
@@daviddenham1511 Mu thoughts exactly.
I’m actually really glad Calvert doesn’t hold any kind of personal grudge or vice towards Sharpe. He actually respects him as a fellow soldier and as a man. If they were in the same side, they’d be the best of friends.
To Hold a grudge to an enemy soldier for doing his duty, That's Cycles of Revenging.
Calvert is like, "God Napoleon could have used a man like him."
They both rose from the ranks, and Calvet respected him because he had earned his position, and despised Ducos because he /hadn't/..
@@julianmhall The French Revolution meant someone like Calvert had fewer hurdles to overcome - many of the names engraved on the Arc du Triomphe would have remained NCOs if it had never happened. Whereas among the Brits someone like Sharpe is considered by some a "Johnny Jumper" for being promoted to lieutenant even after saving Wellington from a French cavalry patrol.
@@stevekaczynski3793 I know all that. As I said, Sharpe had earned his rank. Also you're wrong in two respects, both of which the TV series ballsed up. Sharpe was made an /Ensign/ for saving Sir Arthur Wellesley - albeit the same man he wasn't ennobled yet - at the battle of Assaye in India.
Calvet.
The most sympathetic French character in the whole series.
What of Colonel Dubreton tho?
Gaston?
Gaston
You know, he ate his corporal in Russia.
Dubreton was pretty good. He and Sharpe were friendly.
General Calvet was a good frog, he never liked Duco either.
@guy c I dont think duco liked duco
JimDeadlock The only good frog is a dead frog
@@1Loftwing1 STFU fucking rosbif
@@kekebaubau1913 i love that frogs think english get as salty at ''rosbif'' as they do at ''frog''
@@ChestOfDoom English go learn to fight with honor, just good to pay others countries to fight for you (Prussia, Austria, Russia) or with the help of Spain or Portugal.
Waterloo would be a defaut for you if Blucher and prussians was not come to help us so Waterloo is a Prussia'svictory more than a english victory.
Moreover, Wellington's army was composed by germans, dutchs and belgians, only a little part of the army was english.
But your fucking propaganda says that Waterloo is an english victory.
Calvet: "Take my advice, forget the woman."
Sharpe: "But I have a wife (and she has my money)"
Calvet: "Not anymore"
Now thats good advice giving!
Advice on women from someone named Calvet - that's French.
Calvet: "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks hon hon hon."
@@GooglyEyedJoe oui oui oui, alors, dawg
When it comes to love and relationships, best to get advice from a Frenchman.
Virgin Duco:
- Had an ugly pathetic hat
- Betrayed The Emperor
- Steals the imperial treasure
- Betrayed General Calvet
- No woman is interested on him
- That's not soldiering
Chad Sharpe:
- Had a cool chad shako
- Loyal to The King, even liked by The Prince of Wales
- Receives 10.000 guineas in chad way
- Saved Wellington's life
- Attracts every women he met
- Now that's soldiering
don't forget that sharp can shoots 3 round per minute
mohammad alajmi every average French soldier could
@@mohammadalajmi333 He killed 3 enemy soldiers in 30 seconds to save Wellington's life!
@@moa1846 no they couldn’t. That’s why Napoleon used them in column to attack, not in line.
@@moa1846 Nah, Old guard maybe but not many ordinary french troopers
Fredrickson has Earned an Achievement:
*Making It Rain*
*Golden Showers*
Duco certainly didn't wait for that to happen!
Now you're taking the piss...
@@kevinduffy80 careful with talk like this, before you know it urine trouble.
...ill leave now.
@@Kieran0410 Groan..
Golden showers? Where’s Trump when you need him.
Good to see Sharpe and Calvet getting on for a change.
They are no longer enemies here, they never had a personal hatred.
@@SantomPh Yeah. Sharpe and Calvet actually respected each other because they have a similar backstory. Calvet is what Sharpe could have been had he been born in France.
@@Former_Halo_Fan iirc Calvet says this himself in 1 of their exchanges.
Had Sharpe and Calvet been on the same side, they would be great friends I feel
Sharpe hit duco while riding on a horse back that is Sharpe shooting.
thats SOLDERING!!!
He died of lead poisoning.... ;)
Duco didn't duck.
@@larrysheets2508 He was still living or at least the Stuntman was whilst being dragged!
@@lordeden2732 naw, he was just horsing around...
Gives him advice and then a friendly pat.
That's shouldering.
Imagine the rumours now circulating around? "The English are so rich they use gold coins as cannon shells"
Grapeshot
I like how even Calvert knows that Sharpe's wife is a total bike...
These days we call them "empowered women."
@@smellypatel5272 good god you guys really cannot stand to let any woman, fictional or not, go without insult. Its like your soul purpose in life is to find comments about women and make fumbling attempts to liken them to the women who rejected you personally. Give it up, we get it, you dont get fucked.
Two stroke.
sry ignorant American here can I get a translation? A bike?
@@johnwatson1243 Well what do you do with a bike? You could say they are rode all over town.
2:55 When a French man gives you advice about women, especially two women, that's Romancing.
Binge watched the entire run, absolutely fantastic show. The books are my next binge, seeing as how I have so much more time to read these days. Cheers to all who see this show, and/or these clips! Stay safe, prepare if you haven't already, and keep your chin up.
The books are wonderful, I've been re-reading them, and my wife is reading them now too. Hope you enjoy!
Where did you watch them all?
I just finished reading them, all but the one released in 2022. It’s a great series.
@@philipprovencher2622 I watched them all on TH-cam, someone uploaded the full episodes. I think i just typed “Sharpe series full episodes” and they came up easily.
@@philipprovencher2622 Look up Sharpe full episodes. They're all on TH-cam.
Pierre Ducos was one of the greatest villains in this show. Féodor Atkine did an outstanding job of portraying him.
Dipping thin strips of hot buttered toast into a soft boiled runny egg, that's soldiering.
The Tyrells should’ve tried this strategy when their castle was attacked. The look on Bronn’s face as foot soldier’s are getting rich would’ve been hilarious. And Jaime wacking his men with his gold hand while they stuff their pockets with gold coins.
That would’ve been a fitting last play for the Queen of Thorns.
The one Spanish soldier who bends over, picks up the gold and says: “Oro” always makes me laugh! He looks a like John Cleese from Monty Python! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! 😂
Fear and surprise are the two main weapons of the Inquisition! And a ruthless effeciency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope! 🤔 Our FOUR main weapons! Oh and nice red uniforms...
@@Emdee5632: The one thing people don’t realize is that the inquisition is still active even to this day. It’s in the same building and room in the Vatican and is called but is called the Congregation of doctrine and faith.
Pretty sure they were Italians
@@Zoras88 yes they are Italians since the scene is set in Naples, but the Kingdom of Southern Italy (also known as the Kingdom of Naples) was under the Spanish branch of the Borbone family until Napoleon invaded the kingdom in 1806 instating first his brother Joseph and then Gioacchino Murat, so OP wasn't that off the mark
Italian-
Anyone else think that Calvet as the CO and Fredrickson as the Senior NCO, in the same army. Could conquer the world in 1 year?
Gaston would do it alone in 6 months. He just doesn't use all of his power or it would be to OP. Nothing could withstand the force of a hungry Gaston!
@@Mr__Chicken lol
Fredrickson is a Captain, but they would conquer the world....or eat it. Well if William can find the teeth
Faster than covid19
Gaston would poison the enemy with mushrooms
"no you don't. not any more. matter fact me and the lads ran through her like a cavalry charge. anyway, be seeing ya."
'You know what I don't care anymore'
- Firing coins out of a cannon to disrupt the enemy formations.
Now THAT'S soldiering.
Killing a coward enemy spy? Now that's soldiering!
Hiring Spanish mercenaries to carry out your bidding, only for them to waver after two of their comrades die and then practically desert for gold? That’s backfiring.
they're Italian , from Naples.
@@SantomPh yep the Cardinals
@@AlphaLeader42 well they work for a cardinal, yes.
That's southern Europeans for you!
Italians*
Love the way Calvert grew back his hair for this episode.
Anyone notice the modern city lights in the upper left background at 1:01
cities were fairly well lit at that point anyway.
Shooting your arch enemy in the back while he tries to ride away on his horse.... that's called a damn good rifleman. Nil Desperandum.
“Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right". (A quote by Salvor Hardin from the Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov.)
@Mackenzie Bauroth Well both Hakeswill and Simmerson are close to being his arch enemies
@Mackenzie Bauroth True True
Riding away =\= surrender
Getting soldiering advice from another soldier.
It's soldiering.
soldiering-ception.
Where did Duco pick those soldiers up?
The 16th century?
With the crosses at their torsos I would say borrowed them from some Knights of Saint John's outpost.
they are Italian mercenaries , not very disciplined
@@PobortzaPl they work for a corrupt cardinal that helped Ducos. They are not actual Knights and St John
@@SantomPh If they were Itallian where are their white flags? The did not march with there hands up?
Where did they buy their fake moustaches?!! 😂
Finally killing that good for nothing basterd who framed ya?
Not only is that soldiering, it's about bloody time too!
Abso-freakin-lutly
Defeating a mercenary army with their own greed and their client’s own stolen gold...
Now that’s soldiering!
I love this!
I used to order a delivery pizza on Fridays after A.P. US.H. after weekly testing
I would come home get a hot pizza and watch an episode of Sharpe's Rifles and Horatio Hornblower
Now THAT'S Friday nighting!
What’s A.P. US.H?
@@Cybermat47 Advanced Placement United States History.
00:27 Throwing candy in front of the enemy because you know they will enjoy it. That's soldiering.
That’s some real wealth redistribution Sharpe, well done.
00:35 that captain has some sick coin tricks
i like the captions on 2:07. ''I came for the gold and i got the goat''. xD
Taking away Duco's army from under his feet while he tries to command! Now that's a fine soldiering..
Something something...
That's soldiering
Divorcing a man by saying: "No, you don't", and a pat on his shoulder - now, that's Calveting!
0:31 Good to see Bill Hader working on his acting so early.
This would have been impressive shooting. I’ve tried to fire my flintlock accurately but I still occasionally flinch when the pan flashes even despite experience.
You do know, that this strange behaviour of yours is called cowardice, but certainly not soldiering.
@@rictusmetallicus Yet I fired my M16A1 and A2 well enough as an Marine officer, how’d you do?
@@rictusmetallicus dude don’t act like you’ve never flinched at a gun modern guns like ours are easy to get used to, but sometimes flintlocks have a bit of a delay before firing so I’d say it’s perfectly normal to flinch
Bribing away your enemy's mercenaries? It's been done.
Doing so via cannon? That's new.
General Calvet seems to be the best represented Frenchman in this show. That's not stereotyping!!!
You forgetting our boy Gaston! It also helps that Calvet rose through society (was born poor), and survived some of the toughest capmaigns
Proper frog eh
Sharpe: Honour to fight beside you sir....
Calvet: *BELCH*
Shooting a cannon in a confined space, that's deafening
"I'm getting shot at, just let me pick up all this gold at the same time"
How many times did Duco get killed in this series. He was shot in an earlier episode by French troops while carrying important documents.
Could've been a spy tbh, even soldiers on the battlefield would've been like "who the fuck is this guy?" Even if he says what he really is "Major Duco" or I have important documents.
But seriously he led and turned alot of twisted plans and schemes to get Sharpe dead or ended up somewhere else. Especially when framing him 3 times, the death of the Spanish noble, the death of Dragoon officer (both murdered) and stealing Napoleon's treasure.
he got shot by the french stragglers but didn't die and only got wounded
Duco:i am going to run away
Sharpe:Snipes him
Headshot
I'd love to see them do a re-make, with a bigger budget!
Wouldn't be the same
Why ruin perfection?
RIP Duco, you made a damned good bad guy.
1:00 Anyone else notice the town lights in the background, pretty advance for the 1800s.
Could be explained as another troop regiment or something, but I am unfamiliar with the battle, so my suspension of disbelief is still very much intact. Good spot though, I didn't notice that first time through
@@picklejho69 Could be a line of tents with candles in holders or something. I have seen far worse anachronisms in period films. Like a white van in the distance in Braveheart.
@@stevekaczynski3793 There was a scene in the Last of the Mohicans where you can see 2 tour buses in the background and a guy wearing a baseball cap.
@@jpaulc441 Not to mention a rubber artificial rock in the climactic scene. That isn't an anachronism, just funny.
@@stevekaczynski3793 Don't forget the coffee cup in "Game of Thrones."
This is a better ending for Pierre Ducos, than the novel (which has Ducos shot by a firing squad, and dumped in an unmarked grave).
I wish they went with the book's way, would of been more satisfying.
Did Duco"s glasses survive?
To this day, I only drink French bottled water, it's more expensive but it's the only water you can be sure no one ever took a bath in.
Lol that's the 16th century. But we just seperate the bathing from drinking water
Gaston and Calvet were always my favourites.
Shooting your long time enemy from a distance instead of running him through with your sword or throwing him off the battlements....now thats strangely anticlimatic. How would you have liked Duco to get his comeuppance?
I'd have liked to see him lose another pair of glasses.
Sharpe in the book was fond of slicing across in a backhanded blow like a tennis player taking the eyes out of people he fought. That would be a good way to drop ducos. He could then slowly advance on the blinded and screaming foe. Might even shout something to him as stands over him before ramming his sword down into Ducos face ending him. Or he could just unscrew and throw his swords pommel at Ducos. Either way is equally devastating
in the book Sharpe actually captures Ducos, but instead of cutting him open presents him to the Bourbon authorities, who subsequently shoot him and bury him in an anonymous hole.
@@SantomPh Which book was that. Haven't read them in a while. Will have to give them a reread sometime
@@WNShadow814 skallagrim fan: DETECTED
What regiments was duco leading?
Sharpe is beloved by many. Even simple clips from the show have garnered you millions of views. Some individual videos have gotten over one million views. Most of yours seem to get about 500,000 views. You obviously already know this, but I feel the need to emphasize haha.
Sharpe is the man! Horatio Hornblower comes in 2nd.
i enjoy both. Hornblower for being a Honest man seemingly unaware of the high regard his men held him in and always doing what he belived was right. Much like Sharpe they are very silimar just coming from different places. Hornblower was not born in the gutter like Sharpe but nor was he born into wealth and they both had to earn they way in life. which is the message i take from them both if you want something you have to work for it.
i never watched sharpe, but thanks to youtube I love sharpe
I love Sharpe's look of disbelief after he shoots Ducos. This guy has been such a relentless pain in the ass and caused so many problems over the years, it's hard to believe he actually died in such a simple way.
He wasn't killed in this episode..only wounded.
Now that's solid-golding.
I assume they had Sharpe 'kill' Ducot at distance to keep the door open for him to come back in later episodes, as it wasnt a confirmed kill.
Dayum! I don’t think he’s getting up after that!
0:30 these men must be ancestors of Ezio with that tactic
Those lights over at the background at 1:00......
Cherchez la femme. I used to read that and it took years to learn what it meant and why it was so popular a phrase in detective stories.
It's like later when movie detectives would say "Follow the money."
Killing Duco while he is running away on his horse? Now that's soldiering!
When did Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy time travel? :-p
@@willn703 When your phone changes Duco to Draco, Now Thats a lack of soldiering!
Taking down a moving target at distance, at night with a single shot from a early 19th century musket, whose accuracy, beyond a range of 100 yards dropped like a stone. Now that's soldiering.
Not a musket. It's a Rifle.
Sharp is an exceptional shot.
Now that's soldiering
will you in time also upload the clips from the newer sharpe episodes when he's in india?
Gotta go to dailymotion if you want the entire episodes
The Sharpe series was littered with "enemies" and "villains." To motivate Sharpe, he had to have a personal enemy.
Making a golden shower on a group of mercenaries.
Now that's soldiering
This is very funny. Well done.
Major Sharp was an exceptional shot with a rifle!
Verified soldiering
Ducos. You forgot his S.
No more his S(ass)!
That one first soldier to get shot was so unlucky, you could hear him get hit twice (with the exact same shout)
The recasting of Calvet was a crime. The original actor was so likeable
Finally killing Duco
That's soldiering...
Finally!
Seeing the world for exactly what it is...
That's Calvet(ing)
What the extras do at 0:17 - now that's overacting,
The wrong extra fell down, the puff charge was on the soldier at the end, the middle one fell down! That's why the guy looks so surprised :)
Wow...that guy is a regular "Sharpeshooter!"
Doing exactly what is says it the title. Now that's soldiering.
If you're wondering, Sharper learned this tactic from the French at a place in spain called Vitoria
"Harper, it's not necessary to yell "Boom headshot" every time I kill someone."
The death of Duco was probably one of the most satisfying moments of Sharpe.
Are those italian troops from papal states or just an italian regiment/battalion in the french army?
0:17 just like the AI in Eu4.
Nope, no no no no no no , I am not buying this lot on dvd, I've got enough of the bloody things cluttering my shelves............................. great, now I need another shelf, ffs.
Oooh extra scene's and bloopers, nfi. One of the best series on tv, why the hell don't we get this nowadays??
Ahhh but he didn’t die. Last episode a French soldier shot him whilst pilfering. Point blank it was beautifully done! In sharpes honer !
If you read the books then you will know that he was captured and taken to Paris and shot by firing squad.
This is the Same Calvet actor as always right? I have a feeling he's different since he sounds so different speaking English than French
The Italian army, loyal, competent, best in the world.
General Calvet - The wisest man in Europe
Normandy looks very good right now...
Telling Sharpe he doesn’t have a wife anymore? Now that’s great advice giving!
Calvet hated Ducos because he soiled his hands with the dung of politics.
Calvet was a soldier & his loyalty to his Emperor was absolute.
I wouldn't mind fighting Calvet & the Emperor over who got to engage the services of Gaston (Calvet's 2IC & a bloody good cook).
I love those enemy soldiers with the snazzy uniforms and metal helmets. I wonder who they are? They look out of place with muskets, looking more medieval than anything else.
Italian mercenaries
Sharpe killing Duco. Now that's soldiering!
If you saw the fort firing gold coins, wouldn't you want to charge the fort even more?
You wouldn't know if they fired all the gold coins.
Great shot, all things considered
At 1:58 did anyone else notice that French imperial guard soldier’s hat fall of and he had to catch it and place it back on Lol 😂
