  • I really enjoyed this series, this episode and Retribution are my favorite.

  • who would win if sharpe met hornblower ???????????

  • @MrGi88s Idk who will win lol

  • @MrGi88s Sharpe wins. Sharpe is a seasoned, gutting fighting, soldier, where as Hornblower is a sailor first and foremost.

  • I think this and Retribution are my favorite of the series. They were my intro to it and the two parter really makes it feel like a proper movie. Plus we've got some memorable characters!

  • Jon Irenicus speaks! If any of you get that I will be astounded.

  • @whitfan27 Baldurs Gate Gah!

    

  • @whitfan27 he is the captain.

  • Bedankt voor het uploaden!

  • I squeed aloud when I saw Paul McGann's name in the credits. *is such an Eighth Doctor fangirl*

    And this is a story told in flashbacks? This is going to be my favorite of the movies, isn't it?

  • I squeed aloud when I saw Paul McGann's name in the credits. *is such an Eighth Doctor fangirl*

  • I love Captain Sawyer in Tron and Baldur's Gate II as well.

  • HOLY SHIT. It's the Jean Genie! :)

  • I have watched Horatio before but I never knew there was more episodes. I always thought it ended when the annoying french girl died. I'm so excited to watch more. ^.^

  • @BellatrixLestrange77 Noooo,they killed "Nicole" I bet papa is tres p!ssed....

    @Chiricahuabull the Indy is the Grand Turk a ship made for the series and now moored in Whitby harbour,UK. Its disapointingly got an engine....but still looks great :)

  • are all the ships real cos they must have cost a bomb to hire them if they are and the crews.

  • 0:58 oorah Royal Marines...

  • @Sturmmann oorah? Yank?

  • Oh gawd, I don's wanna b on that ship during the storm. Wanna hear something really ironic?

    First off, I come from Australia, a place known for water sports, and I myself have won bronze medal once during the state championships a few years ago, I love the boats, I love the seas.

    However, I don't want to set sail or be on a boat whilst travelling because I get motion sick!

    How ironic is that???

  • Thanks for uploading Dutchy! ^_^

  • thats a very quiet cannon blast

  • thanx for puting this one up i love this episode

  • "No man ever became a hero by dying for their country. They became a hero by making the other poor dumb bastard die for theirs...." George S Patton

    The actual quote..... Cheers!:)

  • @Movegas1 Its actually "No man ever won a war by dying for his country. They win a war by making the poor dumb bastard die for their's"

  • Brilliant! Love to see the old British colonies with Marines marching through the towns.

  • A Simmerson of the seas, Captain Sawyer.

  • @collinsl02 At least Sawyer has senility as an excuse. Simmerson was just plain cruel and incompetent. 

  • @collinsl02

    I believe Captain Sawyer was based on the real life Captain Hugh Pigot whose brutality caused his crew to mutiny on HMS Hermione

  • This is bloody awsome! I read 2 of the books, and i didnt know they made movies out of it!

  • I'm using this for research for a story I'm writing. Thanks for uploading!

  • oooo i would of gone for him......he has no respect for life!!!

  • BLOODY JOCK!...LOL

  • funnyflyingdutchgirl thanks for uploading - wanna get married?

  • nice one

  • Funny German Litttle Mule (Burrito), 69, to the Flying Dutch Lady: CS Forester's novel series are simply great, so Col.Claus The Count v.Stauffenberg (movie Valkyrie), Me too ... Thanks, Greetings

    Best, GW

  • I absolutely love the Hornblower Series, it really is top quality television!!!

    You can watch them over and over again and the acting by all concerned is superb!

    As far as the possible film goes, i would like to see Paul Bettany in there somewhere, and i think Anthony Hopkins would fit in quite nicely aswell!!! They could get Gene Hackman to play Sawyer!!!! :D

  • I love this series. I love Sharpe too though. I always thought it would be cool if they somehow met each other in both of their shows.

  • okay i know archie doesn't appear much in this scene but just watching the rest of this episode and retiribution, does anyone else notice how much archie kennedy has changed since the last espisodes? i guess some years must have passed but what about all his 'issues' and 'tendancy to panic' and all that? i strangely miss the more troubled archie. he's suddenly become this rather bland (but still cute) sidekick.

    any thoughts?

  • His seizures were caused by the abuse he suffered at the hands of Mr. Simpson. We can probably infer that Archie's life was somewhat rehabilitated by Hornblower and service aboard the Indefatigable. His life could only be looking up after promotion to Lietenaunt and transfer to a ship-of-the-line.

    I think his life is still riddled with some issues though, such as his voice being the prime one calling for mutiny. Perhaps his turn around went to his head and he became too cocky?

  • He doesn't win all the time, matter of fact his record isn't that good, lost the two ships captured that he was put in charge of (so far) Lost the girl, lost the invasion. true he escapes more times then not, but not allways on a positive note. besides then there wouldn't be any more books LOL.

  • lol, that's true.

  • Is heroism found in defeat or victory?

  • @Brooksider100 Both, a hero is what you bring to the table and what you do with it.

  • 'Most people say a hero is a guy who lays down his life for his country. MY definition of a hero is the guy that makes the other poor dumb bastard lay down his life for HIS country'

    Gen. George S. Patton on taking over the 5th Army in North Africa after the slaughter at Kassarene Pass.

    'Heroism is the triumph of character over fear'

    Aristotle.

  • @Brooksider100

    I'll take Aristotle over Patton. For a true deff. of a hero I'll take Desmond Doss.

  • @Brooksider100 patton sounds kinda like a dick

  • @Bighairyfart - you will feel differently when u grow up or when somebody you love is threatened, attacked or killed

  • i really liked the first instalment but they become more and more ridiculous with every episode. Hornblower always somehow manages to escape with the skin of his teeth. Its more like Indiana Jones -

    we'll see what this one is like. Maybe Hornblower defeats an entire french fleet with a rowing boat.

  • I know what you mean. I was really sucked in by the first one, as Hornblower was an outsider/underdog who ended up winning respect. As time goes by he becomes a kind of seafaring superhero. :p

  • very dramatic.

  • Love this series. The music is basically amazing (my cousin and I like to sing it and be all dramatic), but I can't find it anywhere. I like this series better than the Sharpe one or Master and Commander.

  • you like Hornblower more then SHARPE!?

    jk :P

  • I like Sharpe, but prefer Hornblower, who is more simpatico, shy, especially with women, but masterful when necessary though never cocky. However. Master and Commander is a masterpiece that will become a naval classic like

    Charles Laughton's Mutiny on the Bounty, It is of consistently higher quality than S. or H.,which is understandable in view of its much higher budget and very much shorter running time..

  • @Hendrikdevuile Truly -- my (German) opinion, but I like as a Navy fan - Richard Sharpe more and more (perhaps the lot of love scenes??)

  • at 5:38 i bet you captain sawyer was thinking "WHAT THE **** DID HE DO??!?!"

  • It is really so nice to see good acting... a welcome change from the American stuff we see far too much of on our local TV channels.

  • Or rather a series of novels written around

    historic or military events of the time. It's

    enteraining and infectious . Take it for what it is : fun .

  • Really interesting show. Just wondering when the British troops started using shako's.

  • During the Napoleon wars the tschako established in nearly all european armies for foottroops light cavalry and artillery.

  • It should be noted that most of the "redcoats" seen are Marines, who had a different uniform to the regular infantry.

  • Just started watching this yesterday. I've gotten interested in the Napoleonic Era. INCREDIBLE show!

  • do you mean the whole series? wow, you must be hooked - you're half-way through! =O

  • you should read the sharpe series or watch it on u tube

  • Yes please shut the hell up!!!

  • this is not a discussion forum on history.

  • Well, some discussion of history is only natural here since it is, after all, a fairly historically acute show (or meant to come over as such, I'm not going to argue on that point) and it's topic is a pivotal point in history. That said, there is still no reason to get hot headed over something like that, not to dig so deep into it. Most important thing is we all enjoy the show and watch old Horatio -or young Horatio- in action.

  • its based on a series of books and although some historical accuracy does get some consideration the main priority was always to make glorious swashbuckling books for boys.

  • I LOVE THE BOOKS

  • yeah I love um' the only bad thing is that there aren't more ^^

  • THERES 11

  • We are not a democracy , sir, we are a republic.

    As for Vietnam, the South ..tyrants ? What silly bastard told you that ? There were no "re-education camps" and no killing fields, no slaughter by disembowlment in front of your family and village for failure to pay "rice tax" to terrorists..That would be the actions of North Vietnam. Communists bastards ....you think the South were tyrants...go live in a Communist country and see what tyranny is !

  • Sadly, sir, you are misinformed.

    The tyrants were the South, backed by tyrants here at home and in Rome. The Catholic Dictatorship in S. Vietnam - for such it really was - was simply another thrust of Romes world wide Inquisition and all forms of Catholic Totalitarianism - given differing colors of "fascist" and "communist"...but differing not one whit in end result.

    The same thrusts are occuring here, and now, under the pretext of anti terrorism.

  • Additionally, you may wish to brush up on the history of Russia and Asia, and the Jesuits activites in each sphere.

    After all, communism and socialism are but the Jesuit experience in the Reductions, refined and renamed. The 'slave state model'...going global.

  • Gucho...unless you have seen war, or had a terrorist kill a family member, or lost the same to despicable tyrannies like Germany and Japan...you are ignorant of what America fights for !

  • america openly fights for democracy while failing to be a true democracy urself, moreover you talk of tyrannies such as germany and japan i accept that but what about the vietnam war?? as i recall it was the south that were the tyrants there. America fights for wealth and power under the guise of democracy.

  • Even politics was much more honest at that time, it was more legitimate, the british were an empire, they accepted they role as empire, and functioned like an empire, they openly acknowledge their intentions, now we have americans that fight wars for "democracies sake", and manage themselves like an empire but they dont openly acknowledge it.

  • As an American who majors in politics, I hate that we fight as you said, "for 'democracy's sake'" but we do openly acknowledge it in our founding documents. The British Empire could be seen as much worse, just read Rudyard Kipling's "The White Man's Burden".

  • In or due respect to your argument, why is it necessary for you to state that you major in politics??? It does not add weight to your argument!  Arguments need reasoning not a résumé

  • The fact that I major in politics is important because a large majority of Americans make statements about our politics and policies without knowing their facts or having anyway to back up there ideas.

    My reasoning is that Americans say that they are doing things for "democracy's sake" but honestly, when looking at the G.W. Bush years it seemed like he and/or Cheney had a personal stake in matters of international affairs.

  • I find Britain to be worse or equal to the US. Because of "The White Man's Burden" but also because of the way the conservative party has acted throughout the years. Look at the horribleness of war with the Zulus or the stronghold they had over Indian for so long.

  • Three weeks ago, during questions with the Prime Minister, David Cameron said (in not so many words) that if the UK gets themselves out of this economic down turn speedy & well then the UK has a shot at being a major world power again.

    That's all I was trying to argue.

  • so , when was david cameron the prime minister of this country , dick head

  • The show is called "Questions with the Prime Minister" in America it airs every Wednesday morning at 7 am on CSPANN.

    David Cameron is, of course, the head of the conservative party, and as I previously stated was simply commenting to the Prime Minister, along with the other MP's of the opposition.

  • You said it 'back up there(sic) ideas' and 'knowing their facts', if one can back up their arguments with solid and well informed arguments than it does not matter if he is a garbage collector, a 20 yr old undergraduate with a major in politcs or Winston Churchill himself.

  • Following....

    I actually agree with some of your points. It just irks me that you feel it necessary to state your a politics major thinking it adds creed to your argument, cause it does not. I studied Engineering and that does not make my political opinions any less valid than yours or the next guy.

  • 1802: the first Hornblower episode featuring the modern Union Flag, with the Cross of St. Patrick representing the Act of Union with Ireland the year before.

  • Oh dear,god~~~

    I can't stop watching this,it's fantastic!!!

  • Am I the only one watching this who's actually interested in the Age of Sail Warfare?

  • no i am

  • I too am a very big fan of it. I have watched Master and Commander (Top 3 favoirte movies), The Bounty, and all three Pirates movies which were also very good. Are there any other ones you would recomend?

  • Cuthroat Island a mid 90's film

  • I've seen that one also. It auctually wans't that good. At least not as good as the others I mentioned. Do you have any more?

  • Have you tried Sharpe?

  • *cough*

  • I do, i was rasied by sailers and people who like history

  • better than being raised by dockturs, loyyers or haughtomattic dizzpensing musheen vendurs i suppose.

    hello SAILOR

  • he said sailors, not teachers ;)

  • i would rather join the British Navy during the late 18th century rather than the persent one. As an officer of course

  • @chickenzrule Well at least you'd get a funkier hat back then :o)

  • @chickenzrule The casualty rate back then was unimaginably greater than the present one.

  • Aye, that's why I love it so.

  • @cjayie no in fact your not i have in fact liked this topic for about ..1.. years prehaps

  • @intercity735 prehaps 2

  • the captain is awesome great acting

  • Yeah!!! Long live Robert Lindsay!

  • i love all of them.

  • You've gotta love Paul McGann.

  • this is the great thing about you tube, all those crushes and people you fancy and you thinks its just you and then relief you find out you are not alone, THANK YOU not enough Paul McGann around *sigh*

  • Tell me about it! Its so great to have a community of people who are in love with the same person you are and you can all fawn over him/them and watch videos of them at their hottest! I myself am an obsessive fan/lover of David Tennant and have found many Youtubers who love him (almost) as much as I do!

  • Thanks so much for uploading, just for this...you're my new hero!! :P

  • haha thank you very much^^

  • Thanks for uploading:)

  • "And Paul McGann"
