And the next comment is key, that the book is useless in combat - battle is an entirely different environment than routine, there’s barely anytime to think, only react.
This is, for me, the most interesting of the series so far. And . . . What a stunning steak and kidney pie! Yum yum! There is an interesting vignette in Leslie Lewis' (apostrophe!) "The Private Life of Country House", where she describes having "the most delicious steak and kidney pie" in the sweltering heat of ..Sudan? - - - in full evening dress, of course.
It's 1803- Ireland was a part of the Union by then, and therefore the flag is correct. Might be upside down- I am not that much of a flag fanatic- but that is the right flag. You'll notice the earlier episodes are done in 1790s, and they do have the old style flag...
@wkcia they also switched uniforms during the series according to the timeline. (in the beginning of the series 1 of the things u can notice is the different lieutenant hat)
The Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland was enacted in 1801, and the Cross of St. Patrick, the red saltire for Ireland superimposed over the Cross of St. Andrew, the white saltire for Scotland, was incorporated into the Union Flag that year.
@DarthLegoMaster2011: Seems to be Pellew's personal flagship. Don't forget, the Admiral would have had the choice of where to fly his flag in the fleet under his command.
In "Duty" Pellew says he will miss the "Tonnant and all the men who have served me so well." Like Nelson, Pellew had his personal ship from which to command a fleet, rather than someone else's ship he is a guest on. Pellew was also known as a very capable ship captain, so the Admiralty saw fit that he continued to lead men on the sea despite his very high rank.
@Tozi05 have you ever seen anyone speak German in an American movie? That's even worse. Except in "Inglorious Basterds", where it's perfect because the actors are German.
look at 7:13 notice the british flag thats the flag used today back then they did not have the diagonal red lines only the red cross representing the english flag
Cotard is an annoying, effete Army officer. Bush is a career Navy man who started at the bottom (well, midshipman) and is almost as hard as Pellew himself. Bush also has a hard time enjoying himself, which Cotard is an expert at.
He can and i think they sounded a little inconsistent that way but the purpose should be clear that they want a native speaker for the accent and fluency. Plus i am sure the major was needed for his contacts.
@Tozi05 Hornblower is happy to go to war not because of the prize money, but because it's sort of his raison d'etre. When there's no bad guys to kill, he just can't be happy. Of course, the financial reasons are ample, seeing as he's actually on half-pay in the beginning...
in Mrs Mason's case, a lot of gin consumed. In truth, even rent paid by officers didn't go far for ordinary folk, especially in times of war. Hammond laments that they have to pay the damned income tax every year as well. Outside of the gentry and highest ranks of society people were normally dirt poor and often had to pay ridiculous prices for things we consider normal, as merchants were also part of the gentry and highest ranks.
His French is accented and he swallows and gulps too much.He was nervously speechless in front of the storekeeper. What's more Coltard is a local to the region and speaks the local variety of French.
@@SantomPh Yes, Hornblower has good enough French, but he couldn't pass for a Frenchman. In the book, Cotard is a Channel Islander; in any case, he can pass for a Frenchman because he basically is one.
his French is heavily accented as he had learned it from a penniless French emigre. The area they are attacking is Normandy, which has a strong regional accent of its own. The Major is a native of the area so he would sound more natural.
@Cynderdragoness13 They drunk it, and women had no proper income, since in this example most of the officers who would have lodged have gone back to sea, so they go broke pretty quickly.
"Wolfe! Why must you speak when you have nothing to say." That line cracks me up every time. That's the best way I've ever heard anyone say "shut up!"
"I didn't intend to sleep sir..."
"Oh Hornblower."
You sly dog
🤣🤣🤣🤣😏
“I didn’t mean-“
Well permission granted.”
: D
"WOLFE. Why must you speak when you have nothing to say?"
One of my many favorite lines...
'Why must you speak when you have nothing to say'. Brilliant line. Need to start saying that to staff
"Learn your signals, you little --.......gentleman."
And the next comment is key, that the book is useless in combat - battle is an entirely different environment than routine, there’s barely anytime to think, only react.
LOL Pellews is proud that Hornblower has a girlfriend, like a father.
I greatly enjoy the jesting seen between Pellew and Hornblower, you can tell Hornblower is like a son to Pellew.
The way Pelew calls napoleon "Bony" all the time is so funny^^
"I hadn't intended to sleep sir..." I love Hornblower
particularly that he did not mean it as everybody does😉😉

Somehow Mr. Bush made it sound worse than "motherfucker".
@@iagoporto5522 or little shit
"Learn the singals you little.... Gentlemen" LOL
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😁😁
0:25 - 'In the mean time I want you back watching Brest'. I had to laugh.
"You little... gentleman." :)

Gotta love how he says “Boosh”!
@Tozi05 you're right. I smiled when Pellew said they were going to need a man with linguistic skills, and in the next scene you hear him speak.
@steinway112 sadly they never got that far in the series. but the gregory peck movie 'captain horatio hornblower' covers that part.
i hadn't intended to sleep sir.
lmfao
@wkcia they also switched uniforms during the series according to the timeline. (in the beginning of the series 1 of the things u can notice is the different lieutenant hat)
wait. is that young Voldemort as midshipman Hammond?
Christian Coulson (Jack Hammond) really could pass for Ioan Gruffudd’s (Hornblower) younger brother.
8:38 behold Tom Riddle is being afraid
I love Paul Mcgann.
Him bullying stiles is the best.
“I didn’t catch that, Stiles.”
Oh, you'll see what his problem is...you'll see.
The Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland was enacted in 1801, and the Cross of St. Patrick, the red saltire for Ireland superimposed over the Cross of St. Andrew, the white saltire for Scotland, was incorporated into the Union Flag that year.
It's great indeed. The only thing I recent is that electric guitar at the beginning and end of every movie.
@wkcia Traditionally flying the jack upside down is understood as a distress signal lol
Didn’t get that concept until i googled that but sheldon mentions that a little in big bang and house of cards uses the flag upside down.
hahaha thank you very much. that has been bugging me for a while. cheers!
Do you think maybe Hornblower and Maria should have stayed as friends? He seemed to love her more as a friend
@dancelover618 something about bush staying on the ship with the midshipmen. hes mocking bush, something thats not very wise.

They were known as the Kingdom of Great Britain then. Ireland wasn't part of the union back then yet.
"ello monsiure boosh"
07:52 Love how Bush and Cotard fight over each other all the time!

@CatAtomic99 ''navire'' or ship... that all you missed
What'd the French guy say at 8:00? I think I caught, "you will remain here with the..."... but I missed the rest. Stay here with the what?
With the ship. The "navire".
This always annoyed me. Hornblower was fluent in French, yet in this episode he forgot.
He can and i think they sounded a little inconsistent that way but the purpose should be clear that they want a native speaker for the accent and fluency. Plus i am sure the major was needed for his contacts.
if Mr. Mason were a life she would be in the Gutters where all Drunks belong just that simple
@dancelover618
He's mocking Bush about having to stay on the ship

Duty i would say is his life’s work
does anyone know what pellew says right after we'll meet again at 1:07 ? it sounds like gaelic or something, maybe some old form of cheers?
I think it was Ushant. He's saying the other ships will meet Hotspur at sea.
I love Admiral Pellew.
alors, mosieur Boosh. LOL
@TomRiddlesGirlfriend
because he did. If by Lowe you refer to that one guy in a life raft..
Mariah, do not pin your hopes on me. I'm saving myself for Lt. Bush. I'm not known as "Hornblower" for nothing.
Well he won’t need permission when he can sleep offshore.
8:14 “Mister” Matthews?
@wkcia not willingly of course
In this time period, what happened to peeps? Why did peeps go broke so quick?
in Mrs Mason's case, a lot of gin consumed. In truth, even rent paid by officers didn't go far for ordinary folk, especially in times of war. Hammond laments that they have to pay the damned income tax every year as well.
Outside of the gentry and highest ranks of society people were normally dirt poor and often had to pay ridiculous prices for things we consider normal, as merchants were also part of the gentry and highest ranks.
The poor owns that house and still poor
But the same house would be worth few bob
Hornblower spoke fluent french three episodes ago.........hmmmmmmmm.... ¬¬
His French is accented and he swallows and gulps too much.He was nervously speechless in front of the storekeeper. What's more Coltard is a local to the region and speaks the local variety of French.

@@AlexanderJWei in the show he is a native of Brittany who actually grew up in the area around Brest, so his accent is very local.
master and commender :)

I thought Hornblower was fluent in French.🤨
his French is heavily accented as he had learned it from a penniless French emigre. The area they are attacking is Normandy, which has a strong regional accent of its own. The Major is a native of the area so he would sound more natural.
What does Cotard say to Bush at 7:56????? I can olnly pick out a few words.......anyone know?
@Cynderdragoness13 They drunk it, and women had no proper income, since in this example most of the officers who would have lodged have gone back to sea, so they go broke pretty quickly.
Perché in italia non italiano ?
and what does that mean lol
