sharpe's company part 1

[benfoxz90]

Little scrote got told for trying to have sharpe flogged again

[phantomphan77]

I like the description of this video

[MrIrishscouse]

What is the piece of music playing in the background as the British are storming the breach? It was also playing in the night attack scene in 'Battle' and whenever I come across a even a fleeting reference to the Napoleonic Wars in books not related to that period of history, it always springs to mind, it's brilliantly evocative.

[thejustnosy]

I really can't see the flogging scars on Sharpe's back myself.

[123567890124567890]

you are asome for geting this on her thanks loads

[downloadgoblin]

4:34 Ah, yes... the infamous Picton... :)

[johnnybriggs118]

Thanks so much for this, I love Sharpe. The actor who plays Harry Price apparently married Teresa (Assumpta Serna).

[ChickenMeCrazy]

movies good! But not like the books

[wigster600]

randy bumsex!

[TheNikzaw]

that engineer is buckland from hornblower 5 and 6!!!!

[1426808]

9:17 william mannering!!

[EgolandTed]

Sharpe is a legend, Bernard Cornwell is a Legend, ShingamiTiger99 is most definately a legend!

Thanks for all the uplaods.

[r4fken]

he truly was the father of chuck norris :P i wonder who'd win in a fight between them :P

[633Ziggy]

Watching Sharpe & playing Napoleon Total War is a great mixture!

"Chosen Men To Me!"

[Octavius0]

"Quanto the money, to naily the soley flappy me booty."

[KingXerxes100]

"Who are you Damn you" LOL

[TheNikzaw]

etw with darthmod > ntw

[11Cheesewaffles]

is there a new wellington?

[LordWellington15]

"are you drunk Mr. Price?"

"I am, I am."

LOL

[notoriouslizw]

Sean Bean...how I love thee!! I can't believe this series is unknown in America or that Sean Bean's never received and oscar. Kind of like Clint Eastwood

[AlphonseZukor]

@notoriouslizw Actually they played this series in America back in the 1990s on PBS. As for Sean Bean never getting an oscar well, there is no accounting for taste.

[TowerHamletsNeil]

I never understood why Sharpe was always so hungry for promotion throughout the TV series, is it better explained in the books?

[MrConfessor14]

@TowerHamletsNeil because why the f@#k not?

[pawpawno1]

@TowerHamletsNeil Yes! and a much as I like the tv series the books are so much better. Everyone says that I know, but It's true. Sharpe, the books explain, came from nothing and had no one. He was told he'd NEVER be anything. And why woul he believe differently? They lived in a cast system! Becomeing an officier changed everything. At last he had a chance to prive he was as good as the rich nobles that treated him like crap. Promotion could be bought, buthe had no money. He had to earn his.

[barberino182]

@TowerHamletsNeil He's actually not that hungry in the books. He goes for a captaincu yes to secure it he takes the eagle. But all his other promotions have been just through his merit. He doesnt nessesarily go looking for it.

[BradyKhan]

@TowerHamletsNeil He came from a piss poor Background, promotion = more money :)

[niggabooful]

@HogwartsCastle i wouldn't expect a muggle like you to understand.

[fattyboy555]

quick question, is the guy at 8.50 meant to be harris, or did they run out of actors

[LordWellington15]

@fattyboy555 they are just joking around.

[TheNikzaw]

hogan was ace.... and i liked the guy who played wellington in the first 2! why did they change them anyone no?

[bookloverholic]

@TheNikzaw not sure, but i prefer the new wellington

[TheNikzaw]

@bookloverholic ive got to agree with you know. At first i didnt, but hes really grown on me now!

[bookloverholic]

@bookloverholic the guy who plays the newer wellington is a brilliant actor, ive seen him in other stuff and love him

[MajBlood]

I am glad they get rid of Teresa, really can't enjoy a war epic with women holding back the narrative.

[tyrannusBE]

@MajBlood Oh don't worry, there will be plenty more women where she came from. Our buddy Richard is a bit of a skirt chaser.

[andy7666]

Thankyou for the Uploads - anything to remind people of thier patriotism is a good thing IMO.. Shits on most modern "entertainment".. Regardless, Gawd bless ya sah!

[DanielWPow]

I wish I had been able to be an extra in all of these films. Mainly for the resume building. "1994-2008, was killed 216 times during the filming of the Sharpe series."

[Ajuvel]

omg 4:02 ...what is lieutenant Buckland doing there? ...drunk old fool XD

oh and 3:15 is that Cpt. Keene? ^^

[GhibliFan1]

I'm P'd off they have zoomed it to widescreen for the new Blu-ray release. Sharpe was shot on 16mm film and framed for 4:3 TV...the new transfer loses a slight bit of information from the top and bottom of the screen (mainly bottom). Admittedly it is an improvement as regards picture quality (not as good as Sharpe's Peril which was shot using 35mm film), if still a little grainy, but the colours, scratches and dirt have been improved greatly. Just such a shame about the widescreen hatchet job.

[crosbyj25]

@GhibliFan1 I like how the quality changes over time it's easier to tell his age.

[WhiskeyMikeNinerTwo]

1:40

Harper: "His arm! Cut it off!"

Wounded soldier: 'It's just a flesh wound....'

[BattleSnake75]

I am currently looking for a sword to purchase. I would love a sword like Sharpe's, if anyone knows where I may be able to purchase one or one like it then please comment :) .

[hoosieryank1967]

@BattleSnake75 It looks like in the shows he carries a light cavalry saber. In the books, they specifically say he preferred the heavier straight sword of the heavy cavalry, the better to knock aside enemy weapons. I cannot be certain, my memory is a bit hazy on that and more knowledgable people may correct me.

[BattleSnake75]

@hoosieryank1967 Thanks :) I am thinging of getting a heavy cavalry one.

[Treize69]

@BattleSnake75 Sharpe carries a straight-bladed heavy-cavalry sword, but the regulation sword for an officer of Light Troops is the 1796 Light Cavalry sabre. Both nasty weapons, but Sharpe prefers clubbing to precision slashing. :)

[BattleSnake75]

@Treize69 Thanks for the info :)

[JoshMarden]

@nienor513 I'm in Germany for 12 months and the shows are trult terrible, (and they are in german)

[SkippyMFB]

plenty of electric guitars in russian version of three musketeers as well 1977

[hardtackjack]

I believe Col. Fletcher is also 1st Lt. Buckland from Horatio Hornblower Mutiny, portrayed by Nicholas Jones.

[Tadicuslegion78]

@hardtackjack i believe you are correct

[jimmybloodyjimmy]

thanks again shingami, you are the man. wish i had empire total war now lol.

[kumagamesclan]

was sharpe using a baker rifle or was he just some fluke crackshot guy

[NobleKorhedron]

@kumagamesclan: He's a bloody captain IN the bloody Rifles!! What else would be be carrying?!

[dewytripp]

@kumagamesclan he used a baker

[jasper0192837465]

series is brilliant, but the theme and ending have to be the greatest of all time.

[scottdear]

Cheers mate *ucki* brilliant

[Fedaykin4321]

....under what circumstances does it save your life to have someone lop off your arm like a paper cutter? Even back then surgeons tied off blood vessels while they were going....

[mikeygigs]

@Fedaykin4321

He wasn't trying to save Lawford's life. Sharpe cut off Lawford's arm while he was unconscious so that the surgeon's wouldn't be able to cut it off while he was awake.

Sharpe was just trying to spare him the pain.

[Fedaykin4321]

@mikeygigs ....for starters, trollers should be lined up and shot IMO - so I will not be replying again. I thought it was stupid for the writers to include this unnecessary bit where Sharpe chops off Lawford's arm with his sword. I can't remember if it was in the books or not (it's been a while) but either way it's a minor historical innacuracy in an awesome series FULL of such flaws. If even *I* think I'm something of a loser for pointing it out, how big a loser are you for arguing about it....

[mikeygigs]

@Fedaykin4321

Wow...uh, it was in the book dude, I was just explaining why he did it since you didn't understand.

No need to take offense.

[bh5496]

one, did they change the actor for Wellington? and two, so the officers just let the men loot and rape the women of that Spanish town!?

[NobleKorhedron]

@bh5496: Don't know about the town, but yes, David Troughton WAS replaced as Wellesley - but only due to illness. He was replaced with Hugh Fraser, AKA Captain Hastings in Poirot

[jaustenforever]

rofl. Mr price needs to be a monty python character.

[Aslaug75]

Thank you for posting this! It's -most- appreciated!

[coaubry]

I never understood why colonial era powers always had their troops wear rediculous hats.

[lonesomelittlegirl]

@coaubry ridiculous. sorry. but i get annoyed at stupid spelling and grammer. please don't flip. 

[brad130978]

@lonesomelittlegirl I think you mean GRAMMAR not GRAMMER! Oh dear, oh dear

[Philosopher398]

OMG ITS BUCKLAND!!! FROM HORNBLOWER!!!! AHHHHH

[TheScottyc93]

nest books series ever and drama! love it ! thank you bernard cornwall! =)

[kjsh987]

who´s the shooter with the long hair who is moving the powder at 09:04?

[DerOrk]

*vomit*

[iwantrhysmother]

why did he try to slice off his arm?

[Yurules]

thanks for uploading respect to for getting some/all of this great drama seris :)

[LucanJacups]

"Oh... he looks dead to me. Did you slice off his arm? I thought so."

[Timrath]

I don't think it would actually be possible to cut off an arm with a sword. Certainly not without a long swing. The shoulder is an incredibly strong joint.

Also, why is Picton always shown to wear civilian clothes? I thought it was only at the Waterloo campaign that he did so, and that it wasn't his own choosing.

[ltflak]

@Timrath cause he's famous for fighting Waterloo with a tophat

[artemisshock]

Thank you.

[stevenfordhotmail]

dont any of you realise this was an era fought by real men, this is after all the british army 50-60 men could hold off any army there is in the world, god bless the queen, and god bless the british army, the greatest army in the whole world

[ISmellBleach]

perhaps a tiny bit of an exageration? just a little?

[efaek]

Before I watched Sharpe's series I had no idea electric guitars were invented in the Napoleonic wars! You learn something every day...

[Someloke8895]

Aye, nor did we know the entire Campaign was fought by 50-60 men on each side xD

[ESFAndy011]

@Someloke8895 Lack of budget.

[kensmooth]

@efaek obviously not in your case

[donorleone]

@efaek i hear it was napoleon himself who played the first electric guitar and waterloo was actually a guitar duel between him and wellington.

wellington won by playing van halen's 'eruption'

[jordandraper11]

@efaek Yeah when they smoke crazy stuff :D

[ThatsMrMoronToYou]

@efaek Or it could be a cello.

[DrMabuse2006]

@efaek

Well, you had to hear them over all the shooting, you know.^^

[BingoDaOMG]

@efaek Sharpe is so badass, he requires instrumentation from the future to express his badassness.

[trescothick23]

@efaek mong

[IdarkphoenixI]

@efaek

napoleon sends in his troops not with a drummer boy, but with a flying V.

[ErgoTerraNova]

@efaek Oh not even—they were actually invented during the reign of King Richard IV of England. Just watch the first series of Blackadder. You'll see what I mean...

[BassPlayer60134]

@efaek yes, the electric guitars are a nearly fatal flaw in the otherwise decent soundtrack. It really takes us out of the time period. Bad call, producers.

[BassPlayer60134]

@efaek yes, the electric guitars are a nearly fatal flaw in the otherwise decent soundtrack.  It really takes us out of the time period. Bad call, producers.

[CorporalAlex]

@BassPlayer60134 - John Tams was quoted in 'Sharpe's Story' as saying that the electric guitar was "a good instrument to represent a cavalry sword", which I presume was a factor in its inclusion.

Much as I love the brilliant John Tams, though, I agree that it still sounds a bit daft. ;)

[niggabooful]

@efaek electric wasn't even invented you fucking troll!

[Schuultz]

@efaek

Forgive them, they did not know what they did - it was the 90s, after all.

[DanTheGerbil360]

@efaek Sharpe invented them

[spwb2k]

@efaek lol efaek...Sharpie & the Chosen Men are the great great great grandfathers

of Bruce Dickenson and Iron Maiden.

[isisdragoness1981]

I love you i love you i love you

My library has the other parts but not this one so i depseratly want to see it. THANK YOU

[RazorCell7]

[rifal004]

[Norguy77]

[Makkah0901]

Haha yeah, especially as the brits.

[jordandraper11]

@Norguy77 Same ere :D But i only have Empire :O

[NobleKorhedron]

@Norguy77: Can your PC HANDLE Napoleon Total War?!

[Dogmeat1950]

@NobleKorhedron Empire Total war is better just download Darthmod, it fixes a lot of stuff. Fav Factions are USA, British,Prussians.

[w3ll1ngt0n100]

@Norguy77 me 2 :) ahhhhh my pcs shit!!

[SixFootBabyStudios]

@Norguy77 oh me too, this show why i basically forced my brother to get the Peninsular DLC

[skinkslayer]

[wigster600]

@Norguy77 i love that game, whats ur steam name?

[wigster600]

@wigster600 take a wild guess

[Winterx69]

Uhm- can someone enlighten me as to why that officer starting puking the second he took a second look at that boy-officer?

[PearlStud3]

@Winterx69 He was drunk. He's drunk all the time.

[Apollo890]

The Boy Officer's uniform was a fucking disgrace!! LOL

[FinalFreek]

@Winterx69 he was drunk. he's constently got his head in a pint of some alchahol

[Winterx69]

Thx guys - jup, as I continued watching the next parts it became more evident hehe. But myself not knowing the books, when I started off with this episode here I was WTF : )

[thundergreen]

thanks for putting this up

[ajastelemon]

Picton's civilian clothes may be an allusion to his appearance at Waterloo, where he led his men dressed in a black coat and top hat because his luggage had been left behind in Brussels.

[vivprins]

thanks for the videos!!!!

[GorinRedspear]

why do they show picton wearing civilian clothing? i doubt wellington would tolerate anyone not in red

[yakmanmaurer]

expect himself right

[FinalFreek]

@GorinRedspear well if you watch the film "waterloo" he's wearing his normal clothing becuase his turnk and other tiems had been lost.

[thisbveryannoyin]

"huh? you sliced of his arm then?...though you did"

oops ^.^

[eltonforlife]

ZULU!

[Phil1796]

a 12 year old offcier acting like sir henry lol

[Gooseman2k2]

Actually i would reverse that and say Simmerson usually acts like a 12 year old officer :)))

[Lachausis]

Love how Sharpe looks down on the young officer

[Finchy000]

what happened to major hogan

[flatschie]

That's what I am wondering as well. I liked that character quite much. He was so sarcastic and funny and very english.

[neckbone1911]

Psst... Hogan was Irish.

[flatschie]

Let's then say he was very islish. As he came from one of the islands ...

[Malevolantgoat]

it's in the wiki, something about Brian cox not liking the conditions in which they worked.

[EverythingAustin]

You know, I actually like the intro music . . . . even with the 80s flavor, maybe just because its something different not the usual epic/grand soundtrack

[EdofEngland]

Bah, no scene with Sharpe taking the massive guns or that colnel getting blow up by the mine from the book... moderatly dissapointing.

[xEGC92x]

because you cannot condense everything from a 280 page book into 100 mins of programme

[coolsceneuk]

Yeah gotta be my fave too. Cheers for the upload! Well chuffed.

[sirius711]

My favourite of the lot of them I think =] ta for the upload, mate!

[LittleFiend666]

"oh...he looks dead to me!"

[brucelee12]

Thanks very much for uploading these episodes, must of been time consuming to get them and put them on youtube.

[Igotgame911]

does it matter which Sharpe to watch first ie: Sharpes rifle,eagle, company. If so what is the order?

[aburkett33333]

rifle, then eagle, then company

[calumknight1984]

check wikipedia has the order in which they appeared on air although take it with a grain of salt it can be wrong

[TowerHamletsNeil]

He was in the 95th regiment of foot, a light infantry brigade and the first to use military camouflage.. it was attatched to the South essex regiment throughout the napoleonic war as was common throughout the period to provide skirmish troops to line infantry regiments.

[grandhardy]

yeah he got detachted from the 95th and while he was they got sent back to england...so up until the end of sharpes eagle he was attatched to major hogan as an escort but then he got promoted into the South essex and stayed there.

[Groomers10]

Why do the films do this? He wasn't in the 95th, he was in th light company of the South Essex.

[generaltodd2]

thanks for uploading dude, you rock! these are good movies!

also isnt that boy at the end a little young to be in the army let alone an officer?

[grandhardy]

16, many boys of rich familys joined as ensigns at 16. by doing the forlorn hope it was either promotion or death

[davidhunteresq]

ShinigamiTiger99 you are fecking brilliant old boy! keep up the good work.

[flyinggrayson]

RE: video description

It is GREATLY appreciated!!!

[siuphilip]

You are getting him mixed up with Lieutenant Buckland of the Renown ... Lieutenant Bush was played by Paul McGann

[kurumais]

what could be so bad right after the injury that slicing off his arm would be better? what did harper see?

[generalsniper]

"He looks dead to me... Did you slice off his arm? It looked like ya did to me!"

[imopman]

Many thanks and honor to you sir !

[raraandraja]

STUPID....ELECTRIC...GUITAR

[BeefyStoner]

lol

[PhilipineMan]

*Cough* Said like a gentlemen...

[baulhe]

shinigamitiger is the best this are his best movies your the number one and the master of youtube films

[Versus1984]

Although, I can't really figure out how Sharpe and Hogan so suddenly came up with the mutual agreement that the boy needs its arm amputated?!

[Burnzi2]

shinigamitiger99 u legend

[duncan01234]

thanks for uploading this its much better then most of the stuff on the tv at the minute :)

[raceygofast]

The fellow playing the engineer officer was also in two of the Hornblower series.

[Gladiator0719]

He also played the SS-Officer in Indiana Jones the last crusade

[notonestepbackwards]

What happened to prisoners of war in these times?

[PhilippineMilitia]

They'd be treated normally, I'd say. But the living conditions and food wouldn't have been as good as today's POW's get.

Plus, no boysex during those times, so I guess they were luckier. =D

[abrondarbit]

what do you mean no boysex during those times? there was plenty of buggering going on back then and thousands of years prior.

[SLRL1A1]

They were sent to Dartmoor and prison hulks where they made little model ships out of bone. :o) Officers would give their parole and lead a cushy life - they could even draw their pay while in captivity.

[wankmyhorseplz]

Depends on the commanding officer really.

Many just had them executed. POWs = less food, water & supplies for your own men. Supply lines obviously weren't as reliable as they are now. They couldn't just order an airdrop of food rations.

But you would get one or two good commanders that demanded POWs are treat with dignity. Enemy officers would get special treatment, especially if they were POWs the British captured. British tradition to treat enemy officers as equals and gentleman.

[finy07]

you are a legand for putting these on
