Always telling Wellington what he Needed to Hear, not what he Wanted to hear and telling Sharpe to always be careful.

Sadly killed off later in the books, and superbly cast in the series.

"How would you like to be chef? Eh? Serve a table, talk frog, little la-di-dah? Eh?"

Reminds me of a Vampire in the movie 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' with Rutger Hauer.

First James Purefory then Mark Strong...these bad guys break my heart

Its a shame Brand is confined to crooked soldiering, he could have had a 50 year jump on darwin

You gotta love the french general!

Different characters. Nairn and Hogan were majors, Munro was a Colonel and Ross is a Maj. General.

"Thats how it started in the Garden of Eden" HEHEHE^_^

I like how Ross does snuff like Hogan.

This episode lacks Sweet William.

4:48 ''I'm obliged to you for the information Brand. Dismissed'' (in other words ask me if I'm bothered! lol

Like it

All that talk about survival of the fittest was so delightfully anachronistic.

There has been a small exchange cut form this video. When Brand asks where his men can find water well away from camp, Sharpe asks him why his men won't be camping with the other soldiers, to which Brand replies, it's a matter of moral.

goddamn Brand hasn't aged a day

Isnt the guy who plays Brand in Sherlock Holmes as well, anyway thanks for the vid, Sharpe is awesome

3:20 Most pointless map ever.

Deff the best

@wakeoftheflood2 If they stole the powder rather than blowing it, the possibility remains of the enemy getting it back.

@Maria29493 Yes, that actor played Blackwood in the Sherlock holmes film.

Yeah, I liked him too, but I'm a great Brian Cox fan. But I think James Laurenson is good too as Ross.

I wonder why the screenwriters changed Harpers wife's name from Isabella (in the book)to Ramona??

@Rafasredarmy89 The guy who plays Brand is also the guy who narrates all of the 'Who do you think you are?' series.

@Cssfiend well, this is set in 1813-14, so its 45-46 years. :P of course, his version needs to be fine tuned; strongest isn't always best, but we're getting into details. :P

@TheCommunistColin well I suppose theres always the chance of the enemy stealing your powder, or anything else for that matter, right?

@Rafasredarmy89 yup, he's the baddy in Holmes His name is Mark Strong, he's in loads of movies.

can't blame him. that girls cute!

If that were cocaine, then the redcoats wouldn't have moved any further than the Portuguese coast

no they are Hogan, Nairn and now Ross. three different charachters

@wakeoftheflood2 Indeed, indeed

i haven't read the books, but id say they're all different characters cause theres been hogan and ross, forgot whos the other/s are, but my guess is they retire or get killed or something, cause head of intelligence is quite a dangerous and importat job...

Is that Blackwood?

@Stobo087 No...haha my friend used to call me "Ambrose" after Ambrose Burnside because I always sported some big chops lol.

@yael8907 That did actually shock me even for someone like Wellington.

@MegaBirnie I lol'd.

why do they always blow magazines instead of taking the powder for themselves? maybe for dramatic effect?? lol

If you have no need for powder, best to deny it to your enemies. Otherwise, you are hauling useless powder that you now have to guard and keep dry, all for nothing.

Talk frog

an English traitor instead of a French one, makes a change xx

It is snuff, tobacco.

@Stobo087 You're not the only one. But they were in fashion then. Beards were not, or you had to be an artist or so poor you couldn't afford a barber. Moustaches were very trendy in the higher ranks. To compensate shaving time, a lot of men had these magnificent sideburns and shaved only their chin and upperlip.

lol

Snuff

Check the answer 4 rows down.... =)

Why is Sharp's wife in a military camp?

@bakersmileyface

Ironically it's the safest place for her. If she goes back to England, the only place she can stay is with her relatives. If she stays with her relatives, then her uncle (Henry Simmerson) will keep her there and show her what hell looks like in the meantime. Now she could go to an town in Spain that's occupied, like Gibraltar. However Henry Simmerson's influence runs deep. There's no saying that something won't happen to her there. And if the French come or something happens to that city, there will be nobody there to save her. So the best place for her to be, is in a Military camp. Full of men that are loyal to Sharpe, with a commander that favours Sharpe and as a lady, if the French come then she would be given certain privileges. Rent also happens to be free xD

@Stobo087 No your not my friend! Sideburns and muttonchops forever!

I met the actors Mark Sty ( colonel Brand ) and Paul Bettany last night n got their autographs....Lol I said to Mark I hated him in Sharpe so he was a good actor..true cuz he was a nice , down to earth guy in real life .He explained Sharpes mission was'nt in the series of books n stuff . Anyway what a cool guy. Bettany was a bit snobby and bitched about my pen.....who cares anyway ? I got evil , lol , colonel Brands autograph =)

snuff is nice...but don't ever take too much of it...not pleasant, not pleasant at all

What a not nice man
