i think simerson be as much a a bastard a ever and sharpe hasn not lose his touch with the lady . all in all it great . i wish they would make another series out of it . it be very good if you watch it you will not be waste your time . full of adventure action and fun . it will have to be buy when it come out on dvd . the bad guy be ever so slightly insane . on to pickersmith wasn not he awful . the french have honour i would never have think it after the first lot . man sing at the end be so cool it bring so many memoires from the last episode when they be at waterloo . long live sharpe the french couldn not kill neither will any one else .
