http://pbs.org/masterpiece "Sharpe's Challenge" on MASTERPIECE Classic, hosted by Laura Linney
Sunday, March 28, 2010 at 9pm (check local listings) Fresh from the Napoleonic Wars, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Sharpe takes a perilous new mission in British India, in the latest installments of the long-running series based on the bestselling novels by Bernard Cornwell. In Sharpe's Challenge, Sharpe is appointed to rescue a missing British agent who is investigating a rebellious maharaja. Unbeknownst to the English, the uprising is being fomented by Madhuvanthi (Padma Lakshmi, host of Top Chef), the late maharaja's consort, together with her lover, a renegade English officer named William Dodd (Toby Stephens, Jane Eyre). Reluctant to take the assignment, Sharpe relents when he learns that the agent is none other than his old comrade-in-arms Sergeant Harper.

Sean Bean, one of my all-time favorite actors reprises one of his signature roles! Dig the storyline and new locale as well. Looking forward to it in HD!
