films that follow the adventures of the titular soldier through the later years of the Napoleonic Wars. The programmes are an outstanding achievement for the small screen, dominated by Sean Bean's central performance as the heroic, troubled outsider who turns out to be a resourceful and loyal leader. Bolstered by a strong supporting cast, particularly Daragh O'Malley as Harper and (in later episodes) Abigail Cruttenden as Jane,Sharpeis often visually striking, the action tense and gripping. Consistency is maintained by all 14 episodes being directed by Tom Clegg. --Gary S Dalkin

Advantages: Superb Story telling Disadvantages: The end of the series (sob)
Just for a change with a book review I would like to start with something written after the story has finished. Bernard Cornwell often adds some historical information as an epilogue and also some of his personal feelings, in this case he mentions that he spent along time trying to come up with an exciting story for 'Waterloo' and in the end settled on the obvious - that the thrilling few days in June 1815 was enough of a story in itself and all he needed to do was insert his trusty characters.
The novel was the original ending to the 'Sharpe' series (another book has subsequently been added) and was the natural destination of a narrative that has taken our favourite swashbuckling rouge through every major battlefield of the Penninsular War.
The book is only set over 3 or 4 days and starts with the French push into Belgian lands ...
Advantages: Massive fullscale battle scenes Disadvantages: Those horse riding moments
with scenes of the French marching, the different conditions the armies were in when before the battle, the British well rested, the French heavily marched.
Then not long after this the battle of Waterloo starts to take shape with the armies taking position. The films portrayal of the Irish regiment isn't great, no-one in Enniskillen talks like that for a start but I'll move on. The battle scene itself is amazing, it is long lasting but utterly enthralling. The film is made using 15,000 Soviet soldiers. There are no computer added men this is all live action viewing. Napoleon eventually gets the better of the British but is beaten by the arrival of the Prussians and the lateness of a third of his army. The plot is mostly historically accurate.
The actintg in this film is great, Rod Steiger as I've said before on Ciao is a superb actor. You ...
Advantages: Excellent stories, Great acting, good soundtrack Disadvantages: none
