Sharpe Meets His Disrespectful Squad | Sharpe

Sleeping on duty is a flogging charge, not a shooting charge, actually.

This is still some of the finest television ever made, especially about the Napoleonic era. Sharpe is a proper hero.

MAJ Dunad did give Sharpe solid advice that "An Officer must act like a gentleman even if he is not."

How many you say … try a bigger number. Has been for decades.

It’s really sad that we don’t see some of the best characters appear in most of the shows, Hogan, Tongue, cooper, Munro, nairn, the old Wellington, Teresa, it’s really depressing how most of them vanished after only playing in 2-3 films

Wait isn't that officer the same actor that later played the king?

That looks like a fun army

The actor playing Major Dunnet (Julian Fellowes) later goes onto play the Prince of Wales in Sharpe’s Regiment.
Bit of a plot hole in the TV series!

The Prince Regent believes he was there... and he bloody well was!!!! Well I never!

Being a new and unknown officer, the sensible thing to do would be to send the Sergeant and have the men fall in outside.

forgot how good this was guess Ill start watching again

Meritocracy at work, a mere major working himself up to become prince regent of Great Britain.

From the major to the prince regent...now that is soldiering.

I watched the entire series and only after watching this clip again did I realize that the actor who portrayed Major Dunnett and portrayed the Prince of Wales.

There is something melancholic about Isaiah Tougue...

I love the introduction Harper has into the series.

Cool story , nearly half of Wellingtons pennisular army were Irish Catholics!

An officer not afraid to brawl and not afraid to stick up for his men is a man worth following

That’s when he gained the respect of his men.

I might watch them all again

Jopn

sean bean isn't dying in this scene

He's a real one. Hi from Philadelphia.

I would have thought his officer's sash would have identified hım to them.

I like how his commanding officer would later return as the Prince regent.

Random officer later turns out to be same actor as Prince Regent, who thinks he was out in battle. Snwaky boy

This early s1e1 scene takes ANY doubts about Sharpes ability to LEAD his men away, before the audience even has a chance to think otherwise.

The books are much better

Great scene. Never seen this programme.

"Bog-trotter" now that's good old fashioned white on white racism.

That’s soldiering!!

Sean Bean does die, at the end, so most dead person in history. Still a great series.

This is one of the best shows in history! If you haven't watched it, you should!

Even if he is NOT a gentleman! Harumph!

“Basterds!”

Aw heck, I figured Sean Bean was going to get killed

When finish with voices every toxic eye or move will betray you

Ngl I disliked all of them at first

The actor portraying the Major is the same who later plays the "Prince Regent"...

Just realised the actor playing Major Dunnett is the same actor that plays the Prince Regent in the later Sharpe series.

Sean beans voice was so smooth and perfect they couldnt be woken from it

well, i gather this went rather well. lol

lotsa shootin' matters back in dem days

So how does Sean Bean die in this one?
