For anyone who doesn't know Sharpe was a series (Well 5) of TV movies starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe. The last film was set during the battle of waterloo and was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen. However, the news is....THERES A NEW ONE COMING SOON TO ITV THIS MONTH!!!!

"Sharpe's Challenege" it's called and is set two years after Waterloo.

YAY!

Sharpe books + films are excellent.
The world that Bernard Cornwell depicts is so raw and brutal, and yet can be so enthralling and heartwarming. Great stories and great characters. I was even impressed with the casting of the TV series. Sean Bean was born for this role.
I cant place any stories after Waterloo, apart from the adventures he had in South America when he finally meets Napoleon.
I am really looking forward to this.

No way!

The Seen Bean rocks!

"You can't kill me, Sharpe", how misguided poor Pete Postlethwaite was :).

Ah, Fury you just don't understand.

Sharpe is so big a hero that if you asked him nicely he could fix the hole in the ozone layer :p.

I always thought it was funny with Sharpe, you would have the skirmishers who would use cover and hide. Or you could stand with the troops wearing red and standing out like a sore thumb. No wonder Sharpe survived through so many series. :D

The Pete Postlethwaite episodes were the best by 2 arms and a leg. Thats not to say the other ones werent outrageously good, but nothing beat wondering a) what obadiah was going to get up to next and b) what sharpe was going to do to him when he finally got him.

Oh and by the way, every time I watch Sharpe now im going to expect him to say "Go and speak to Jauffre, he will tell you what to do next."

I got my brother to tape it because nine is such a useless time for anything to be on telly. Lets face it, nine is the prime time for either dinner, vging, watching dvds or going out with mateys. I think more people would watch it if they aired it at eleven.

Well, thatbloke, the announcer at the end kinda gave that away...

He said Sharpe and Harper will face a challenge training the raja's army for the coming battle
