Sharpe's Regiment - Part 11 (Final)

[dkper123]

"Fiiiiilth!"

[tuberesu]

The Regiment that received the battle citation from the Duke of Wellington after Waterloo was the South Lancashire Regiment, Prince of Wales Volunteers. This citation is read out at Waterloo Barracks Warrington every year on the occasion of their own celebration - Waterloo Day.

[CaptainWatson234]

Love the way the riflemen look after the "newbies"

[dudzdude]

god save ireland xD

[Dawnlighter]

Sharpe and Hornblower. My favourites!

[Songsmirth]

This lady knows that someone as innocent as Sharpe wouldn't believe her if she told him this girl was using him. She has a soiled past and knows that counts against her where he's concened. He still believes that Jane is innocent. She is in body but says yes because she wants the older lady to know she has this kind of power over him. Too bad as she would have been a more excellent fit for Sharpe but he holds out for what he thinks is an innocent girl. She's still a Simmerson at heart. Sad.

[DrMabuse2006]

Why are there so many redcoats? I thought Soutessex is supposed to be riflemen.

[Carbine124]

@DrMabuse2006 No, the south Essex are a normal battalion. The reason Sharpe and others are wearing Rifle green are because they were divided from the 95th in the 1st book (and episode) and attached to the South Essex.

[DrMabuse2006]

@Carbine124

Soooo...Sharpe was never captain, major, colonel of the entire South Essex, including redcoats, only of his detachment or what?

[TheHandgunhero]

@DrMabuse2006 No. He commanded only the 1st Battalion, not the entire Regiment. He is only a Major. A colonel would command (and legally own) the South Essex Regiment, not a Major.

[ilmast]

@DrMabuse2006 No, the riflemen are now part of the South Essex, but are allowed to retain their rifleman's uniform. Thus, Sharpe holds his commission with the South Essex.

[MateusVIII]

@Carbine124 not on the 1st book

[Astraea52]

In watching this episode again, it's interesting to see how Jane morphed from the innocent being saved from her uncle by marriage to Sharpe, to a calculating sophisticate in later episodes. Considering that she spent most of their married time at the front with the army, it's hard to believe that metamorphosis. Within the year 1813, he proposes to her, they marry, she returns to London & gets all of his money from the bank, and runs off with Rossendale!

[lawrencesmallman]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Songsmirth]

What does Harris tell Charley? I've backed it up several times and still can't understand it. Also what the singer says to the officer? Anyone? Good to see the other Chosen. :) Songs

[Eoraptor1]

@Songsmirth

"Get his pack. It's what you stopped him for, isn't it?"

This is explained better in the book. The French packs were better designed and more comfortable to carry for long periods than the British packs. British veterans (according to Cornwell) ditched theirs for a French one as soon as they could.

[wigster600]

"We are to be married" sharpe gets a boner.

[CamelBallZee]

Half the guys die while crossing the river lol.

[termometen]

Filth! 

[chillymywilly]

GOD SAVE IRELAND!!

[andresrojas22]

4:18 NOOOO

[Tony91UK]

why did that kid remind me of tiny Tim when he said "Sharpe's, Sharpe's regiment"

[Songsmirth]

@Tony91UK humm. I think it's because he looks sickly. Pale, washed out looking skin and small. I went to bed last night with his mother calling his name. Hated to see he ducked her and joined anyway. Young men and glory... A soldier from WW2 who had been in some of the worst of it told me, "It's only young men and old fools that think there's glory in war." This is interesting to see but Sharpe did sell them on glory back in England. There's no glory when you're dead.

[legoboyguy]

wow the y killed one of there men

[DerOrk]

*stab stab stab* "filth"

[mikeince1]

i love how they say a platoon sized group of men is seen as a company and a company sized group of men is a regiment that is not even split into companys

i love sean bean as sharpe but i wish they would redo the whole series with proper numbers and follow the books closer

[akmckeever1]

@mikeince1 i like the cheesy-ness of it. - especially the electric guitar theme music

though it would be awesome to see someone like mel gibson do it up big

[SauronsLeftNut]

@akmckeever1 Dream the F on!!!!! we want at least semi historical.. not fancifull made up bullshit dripping with popery and catholic taint like gibson would give it...

[Evilmike42]

@mikeince1 It would be nice.

[ArchangelUriel2]

@mikeince1 God yes. I ESPECIALLY want a re-shoot of Sharpe's Gold. And possibly a vicious TASER-ing of the bastard who ass-raped the story like they did. Even if they kept their 'original' idea of supposedly Aztec-descended Spaniards, the storyline would have been significantly improved if they'd at least cut out the pseudo-magical nonsense they felt a need to use as the crutch for that whole episode.

[bartieboy93]

hoorah my boys

[BaldGrace]

I liked Anne. She was a canny woman- and had way better taste in bonnets than Jane.

[bartieboy93]

@BaldGrace jane has nice boobies

[nounever]

@BaldGrace Jane is more soft, physically and mentally Ann was more intelligent and ....just yeah she is better and richer.

[MajBlood]

This episode was kind of boring and crap.

[TarEldamir]

@MajBlood Damn you, it's my favourite one.

[MajBlood]

@TarEldamir Sharpe's Justice is way worse than this one though.

[gracer99]

@MajBlood poorly directed, bad pacing and just awkward .

[AlternityGM]

Great series. Napoleanic Wars are interesting material. In reality, though, when they got close enough to do a bayonet charge, the other side usu. ran. Hand to hand combat in this era was rarer than we see in this series. Most wounds were by musket balls or cannon, not bayonets.

[paulsky1]

laughed my head off at harper, it brought him pleasure to make that man shout out "god save ireland" and rightly so

Long live Harper XDXD

[Mattthornz]

*cannonball hits* Colonel turns around to desert, immediately stabbed - "Filth!"

funniest moment in Sharpe hands down

[renegadeexpress1983]

Awesome series!

[Josh44Tube]

4:17 lmao

[ViccardXViccc]

Why did they stab that corporal? I wanted more "God save Ireland!".

[roflrocketrofl]

10 parts in and we finally have a title

[Totalwarbest]

Siooooo BEST%TTTTTT

[TheNikzaw]

the enemy was 1 cannon and a few very poor french soldiers.... not much of a battle

[chrissi1138]

@TheNikzaw

If you read the books this would only be the first line of defences.

[TheNikzaw]

@chrissi1138 id like to know who, when and which battle used 1 cannon and a handfull of men as the first line of defence. Because if they did they are very silly...

[KZHX]

i haate that little bastard lmao good movie tho

[jasper0192837465]

what, no singing of over the hills??

[jasper0192837465]

i jsut love the 7 barreled gun

[b0ywithhat]

Filth!!!!

[djoakley2099]

He should have gone with the Countess!!

[Elephantintheroom01]

@djoakley2099 Incase you missed it, shes a ho fo sho.

[bh5496]

at 3:50, one of the rifles didn't fire. LOL

[pinz2022]

@bh5496

In reality those things would misfire one out of ten.

[ilikepie77bob]

Why is the featured video "US soldier throws puppy off cliff"?

[Shadec1]

@ilikepie77bob ROTDFLOTMFFLMMFAO

[DrMabuse2006]

Invredible how pale the colonel is.

[Konata2010]

Arint those explosions a bit big for pre-TNT?

[kingsman565]

I'm shure plenty of recreationist societys would of loved to of volunteered to be extras on this, shame no one thought to ask around.

[LordWellington15]

4:27 Hurrah boys hurah lol

[Isildun9]

ah, the chick with the glorious rack has arrived in the main

[Olekander]

one of the best!

[Mandelbrotmat]

Fuck you Jane, you back stabbing whore!

[tomwuk1]

And I thought we might even miss a scene where Pat runs in and takes out about six lads with his 6 shooter :D

[fireflyman]

@tomwuk1 Of course we wont, no sharpe episode is complete without a moment of harper giving a grunt and then taking out a mob of displeased frenchies :D

[MrSelidor7]

They didn't have the budget to show a full regiment. These films were made for television and although the acting and writing is better than most of Hollywood the money just wasn't there.

[Theamazinguy]

why they never show the whole battalion lined up? that seems to be a companyor less..

[Jabthecat]

@Theamazinguy cost cuts...

[AlienZygote010]

maybe if you volunteered to pay the salaries of all the extras they would have had a full army. this is a low budget show, damn good for it thought.

[joslynn417]

the colours should have been to the front.

[RetardedPickle]

well done i do know this... however no computer imagery was well at its stride around this time lots of 90's films with all the techy stuff but they just couldnt be fucked with all that . really bbc being like awesome could easily of gotten hundreds of free volunteers to be extras, and sum charities or reinactors would easily supply the uniforms etc.

[lukeslater1986]

more to the point how would 4000 men bust through that little stage..i think we should just asume all 4000 men didnt stroll into the prince rejents grounds and hide behind a little stage.

[LordWellington15]

Well guys it would be very expensive to put thousands of extras everyone with uniforms, muskets etc.

[Hendrikdevuile]

And if CGI had been sufficiently advanced

17 years ago it might have been too expensve for such a low budget production. But this is still far more realistic than in the early days of British television when hundreds of Roman legionaries on the march were rendered by four or five sandalled feet walking in a circle with the same corns and bunions reappearing on the screen every few seconds!

[RetardedPickle]

i laugh how there like heres the 2nd battalion... wait theres only like 100 men there... barely a company lol plus south essex was only a single battalion regiment acording to the books lol

[Finchy000]

ya seriously lol there's like 100 men there representing like 4000

[Finchy000]

ahah yea I thought so too

[XBOXComplete]

"chosen man" was an old term in the rifles for a corporal

[andy7666]

@LordWellington15 Well only Shapre and Patrick went to England - the rest were lurking in Spain singing "Over the Hills" and reading Descartes..

[LordWellington15]

@andy7666 hahaha

[TWBaltz]

Haha was Lynch the sergeant screamin God save Ireland?

[RetardedPickle]

...yer

[ale89414]

Lol Lynch got fragged.

[lozzyloveyou]

shame : ( he kicked ass

[elgostine]

only because those he kicked wernt allowed to fight back

[keithehlert]

what gets me,is you never see any solid spherical shot being fired and all the case shot seems to be right on target and perfectly timed and no duds,not nitpicking,just a humerous observation.i mean no bounding shot or air bursts nor cannister.anyway good show all the same.

[keithehlert]

kinda reminds me of capt kirk in a way.

[amadeuswolfgang]

Anyone catch the words of that song the Colonol Gerdwood sings at the end? Want to look that one up! please message me if you can :D

[HephaestusHammer]

I love how even when Sharpe is just getting engaged he takes the time to make Lady Anne happy. Cracks me up.

[lordpenut1]

this is my favorite episode. SAY IT LYNCH God save ierland God save ierland!!!!

[doctorwho2pat]

It's either Sharpe's Waterloo or this as the best ending for me.

[NAVC130VET]

(bayonetted) - FILTH!!

[punkrockxzz]

hahaha, lynch got what he deserved! "Flith" haha!

[VivaLaRaza2006]

SAY IT LYNCH

[Finchy000]

all that work for the men, and like half of them die in the river lol

[dmaclady]

His new wife Jane betrays him in later episodes though.Steals his money,and she has her lover try to kill Sharpe.

[nooo8oooo]

shes a rotten bitch

[lordpenut1]

This is true why have poeple put bad comments on it. although it wasent all her fault he did fight again after he promised her he wouldent and she had that freind who encoureged her to ditch him and nick all his money.

[Vespasian12345]

4.14 LOL LOL LOL LOL

[Finchy000]

4:20 is hilarious

[SLRL1A1]

A Napoleonic fragging!

[SLRL1A1]

Even a kick up the ass from Sharpe is deadly!

[Albukhshi]

what do you expect? he's Sharp.

[Anonymous9014]

''FILTH'' lol talk about irony

[Vin4enco]

i love how english say maa'm ..it sound like mom!

[willbxtn]

Now you've mentioned it, it really does! Oh, and the English don't say mom, they say "mum".

[notonestepbackwards]

Sharpe won't find a women more handsome then the one he will marry now. She's beautiful!

[johnduffboy]

The funny thing is, Sean Bean actually married her for a few years, in real life.

[abrondarbit]

Prolly due to the huge rack she has. See her in Sharpes waterloo? O M G

[svublues26]

Yeah but they divorced...Sharpe and Jane didn't divorce did they?

[Yorgar]

officially no occording to the books

[RetardedPickle]

no they didn't it wasnt possible in those days.

[ihearthattie]

haha i love harper- 'god save ireland...'

i love the fact they've got like 30 soldiers playing a whole regiment! doing it on a shoestring as normal!

[LordJespersen]

@ihearthattie True, very true, even though it is in fact a batallion, not a regiment, but still :)

[Trek001]

@LordJespersen you're both right. The South Essex (a fictional name) was originally a single regiment battlion. 2nd BATT was established to provide new recruits, but the way the 1st operated never changed. So you still get Regiment and Battalion used interchangeablly.

[parabat7]

@ihearthattie That's the storming company, so its a platoon playing a company, not a regiment.

[davidboreanazluvva]

Lol Gid Save Ireland!!!

Go Harper and Sharpe

[elgostine]

one of the best TV/ movie mateships id reckon, without the insinuations of gayness attributed to sam and frodo

[Nurdbot]

Heh, I expect if American style malls or the TA existed back then that Colonel would shortly have joined up and BSed the hell out of his role of that battle...

[Chapels]

mr shape, youll kindly retire two paces!

volunteers! on my command! two paces forward, march!

haha genius

[1V4Victory1]

what regiment? sharpes regiment!

[DearGirlMoonLoon]

LMFAO!

"Say it!"

"God Save Ireland!"

x'D Go Harper.

That was amazing. I got a little teary-eyed due to the sheer brilliance. ='D

[TotalWar01]

@DearGirlMoonLoon LOLZ! That was the best bit of this episode

[MAXIMILIANAIRE]

lol 4:22!FILTH!

[KapernicusI]

The colours would not have touched the ground.

[grandadmiral1986]

That is a myth. Colours would become soiled in battle, and often they would touch the ground. When the guards are changed at Buckingham and on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the colours for a royal salute are dipped and laid flat on the parade square, except for the jack. The national flag is the only one not dipped and the only one which is to kept off the bare ground at all times.

[KapernicusI]

My main point is that there would have been someone behind who would have caught them before they could fall. There would always be someone to take the place.

[jayroo71]

god save ireland! hahahaha

[Drew82a]

Come on ya buggers! let em hear ya! Quality line!!!

[mejordo]

what're you waiting for? It's France! France!

[derklatzenknom]

just wicked!!!
