@RonnySK80 It's a three hour documentary series. There is only so much room for material. It is impossible to fit in every detail, and such documentaries should be viewed as starting points for studying further rather than the end point of research in and of itself. Don't be so picky.

@spiderlime Sadly in real life her looks had been destroyed by smallpox when they were engaged and he was serving in India. She offered to release him from the engagement but he declined.

I absolutely agree,not only for the spanish and portugee campaign but for the indian campaign as well. many important battles have been left out as well as the fact that Wellelsley was at the same military institute as napoleon himself. I'd rather think that it would interest those people who like to watch documentaries on european and worl history in general.

Thanks for uploading. Too bad there are only some battles shown here, while Wellington has fought many more from Portugal to the south of France.

There should be a documentary devoted solely on the Peninsular Wars, don't you think? I mean, this BBC episode is quite 'in a nutshell'!
