just one word to sum up this fantastic new dose of sharpe and that be su bloody perb . it be ten year since we saw richard beat the imperial guard on the bloody field of waterloo and and and like many of the life long fan and i believe that be the last time we would see sharpe on screen . of course and there be always a rumour that tiger would be make into a feature film but that hope die after a few year . now and we have be treat to an extra long two parter that be excellent in every aspect . a plentiful amount of tension and action and valour . beano and daragh be top hold a usual and excellent to see the old face such a fopp simmerson and ramona and wellington back on the screen . the new character be utterly splendid and stephens a dodd be one of the most evil villain ever to face sharpe and peter hugo daly a sgt bickerstaff be a vile sight and yet a great performance . even prompt bean to jokingly remark in the amaking of feature that he look fing orrible . not enough time to list all of the support cast and but none be a disappointment . in conclusion and one of the best sharpes to date and i would not be wrong in state that the series a a whole be the best historical drama to grace british television . to any of the producer that might browse these board and i hope that another two movie be make to give a complete feel to the saga . plus if you want any extra who want no pay and there a huge fan base out there plus plenty of ready trained re enactors . a you can tell and love the whole show . can not wait for the dvd on may 1st .
