Sharpe's Rifles: A LEGO tribute - Over the Hills and Far Away, by John Tams
Фильм және анимация
Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles receive a #lego (& LEGO-Compatible) recreation of almost all the characters from the 1990s TV series, to the classic accompaniment of Over the Hills and Far Away by John Tams, who played Daniel Hagman in the series. No copyright infringement intended, only a tribute to the series and song, which is one of my favourite! #napoleonicwars #sharpe
Check out my blog at www.napoleonic-bricks.com
In this video is:
Richard Sharpe
Pat Harper
Dan Hagman
Harris
Isaiah Tongue
Ben Perkins
Francis Cooper
William Fredrickson
Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington
Michael Hogan
Obadiah Hakeswill
Harry Price
Nairn
Thomas Leroy
Jack Spears
Mungo Monroe
Hector Ross
Sir Henry Simmerson
Pierre Ducos
Michel Debreton
Private Clayton and Sally Clayton
Lord John Rossendale
Ramona Harper
Brian Windham
Teresa Monero
Jane Gibbons/Sharpe
Lucille Castineau
Lieutenant Ayres
Rifleman Skillimore
This video also features photos related to the Battle of Talavera (1809) and the Siege of Badajoz (1812), which are depicted in Sharpe's Eagle and Sharpe's Company. You can read about the Siege of Badajoz, represented in LEGO by looking at my blog: www.napoleonic-bricks.com/202...
For those who never watched Sharpe, it follows Richard Sharpe as he is promoted from the ranks for saving Sir Arthur Wellesley's life in Portugal during the Peninsular War. He raises through the ranks and fights in major battles, before fighting finally at the Battle of Waterloo.
The minifigures used in this are a mixture of LEGO Custom Napoleonic Wars torsos, and the excellent Napoleonic Wars line available on aliexpress. Take a look at my pinned comment for information on where to buy.
Lyrics to Over the Hills and Far Away - Sharpe themetune by John Tams.
There's forty shillings on the drum,
To those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away.
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
(Interlude)
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the pipes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
