  • can't believe they stopped this great series......it was the real deal

  • Is it really a mystery when a ship goes missing when it's patrolling in enemy territory??? There isn't exactly a total mystery of what could happen to it.

  • 3:08 Interesting how the mother perks up when Horatio mentions 'worldly goods'.... Hilarious. :D

  • @BattyKellen Too true.... All those wooden ships and reenactment props are expensive as hell to get and maintain. I didn't know that about Ioan though, thanks!

  • French chick > British...thing.

  • And so enters the WORST nickname in the history of everything: Horry.

    I can never forgive Maria for that... Poor Horatio

  • Great Serie I didn'Tred the Books so the hole Story was' not Known by me i find the stuff Beautiful transfered into a mini serie

  • @SauronsLeftNut The Horatio Hornblower series was a high budget production from the very beginning (especially considering it was only made for tv). They simply could not afford making it anymore. Ioan Gruffudd has stated again and again how much he would love to portray Horatio again so I don't think money is HIS issue.

  • @uclmu2008 That's fine: as a sailor, he wouldn't have had a very good sword either. This era saw the beginning of mass production; an increase in production, though with a reduction in quality. Unlike the army, where officers would purchase their ranks (and so could afford a decent sword), the R.N. was meritocratic, and so the sword was part of a standard uniform available to all officers. A uniform which had to be purchased none-the-less, but was relatively cheap in comparison.

  • @NobleKorhedron This was a naval tradition. If a Ship's Captain (or other similarly high-ranking officer) were to marry, then his crew (or staff) would serve as the escort and guard of honour for the ceremony. All good fun, eh?
