"Well dammit man, the Hotspur will have you soon enough, your wife will have you only one night! You'll do as I say!" Pellew's like the greatest substitute father-figure ever.
This was a lovely scene. This was a great part of the book. I have a copy of Horatio Hornblower from the early 1950's. If only my dear wife of 32 years was with me enjoying this. She died 2 years ago.
It sucks for Hornblower, but he is actually sacrificing a chunk of his sanity for a poor miserable girl. To see her smile and look so happy warms my heart, and for that, Hornblower has my respect.
More like orders him to stay ashore to have the new Mrs show him a new meaning of "Hornblower". Considering he has a kid with her in the book, he learns to like it real quick
in the previous episode Hornblower asks permission to sleep on shore in order to pay his rent to Mariah and her mother ,which Pellew initially denies until Hornblower says it's to see a friend. Pellew gets the hint and gives him permission, even though Horatio didn't mean it like that.
Well in the immortal words of Lou Costello, "It's better to marry a homely girl because a beautiful one might run away. If the homely one runs away, who cares?" LOL!
@SauronsLeftNut The Horatio Hornblower series was a high budget production from the very beginning (especially considering it was only made for tv). They simply could not afford making it anymore. Ioan Gruffudd has stated again and again how much he would love to portray Horatio again so I don't think money is HIS issue.
@@ReaperDogg In the book, she isn't pregnant. She only becomes during his blocking of Brest. He's marrying her because of pitying her, when she bgins to cry and confesses her love to him - he just can't be that cruel to repel her. And so his fate is sealed ... just as well for him he does not spend much time ashore!
I just realised something - in the episodes where Hobs is present, they've got Dr. Who, Mr. Fantastic and Gene Hunt all in one ship!! Not to mention that I think Paul - AKA Mr. Matthews - was in Dr. Who as an alien?
In the book, Hornblower never really love Maria. He married her out of pity. This may explain why he preferred to be on a ship than on land. After Maria died during childbirth, Hornblower took a second wife, Lady Barbara Wellesley. Unlike Maria, Hornblower actually loved and admired Lady Barbara. A well educated lady, she's an intellectual match to Hornblower. She's also a good looking women.
@@TheAndorianWarrior archie is in the books, but agreed, nothing like he appears in the series, and frankly I think the series is better for it. Bush and Archie balance each other.
a lot of fans of the books complained to the studio that Archie was a distraction from Hornblower, including C S Forrester's family. his character's early demise meant that Jamie Bamber could eventually focus on his most famous role- Apollo Adama from Battlestar Galactica
I felt bad for Hornblower when he got married, it was an on-the-spot decision he thought of out of kindness and his poor wife is taking it for more than it is
It's H's own fault he got into the trouble he did. In the books, William told H to leave her alone when she was getting hysterical over a dream that was never going to happen. But H got involved and he payed the price.
May I ay that I love how every time I read the comments on Hornblower that everyone expresses critical thinking, love it. I want to say thank you to people who do comment in such a way that is critical and really thought about what they were writing. I"m tired of reading all these stupid comments on youtube.
haha this episode is so lols Funny that Pellew has to convince Hornblower to spend his WEDDING NIGHT with his wife: 'damn it man the Hotspur will have you soon enough, your wife will have you only for the night; you do as I say!'
In real life, Sir Pellew was married in 1783, about a decade before the fictional Hornblower would have joined the crew of the Indefatigable. The marriage produced 4 sons and 2 daughters. (Fun Fact: His first son was named Pownoll Bastard Pellew). :p
P.S. If you read the bit about Philemon Pownoll's later years of service, and how Sir Pellew became midshipman and rose to great heights under his service and beyond, you can see that if Horatio Hornblower is based on anyone in reality, he's based on Sir Edmund Pellew. They even had an almost father/son relationship, just like the fictional Pellew and Hornblower.
I don't know. For all we know, Mariah might be an absolute freak in bed and rock Horatio's world and can't get enough of him. A lot of men would kill for a wife like that looks or not
In the words of the great Lou Costello: "I'd rather marry a homely girl because a beautiful one is liable to run away. If a homely one runs away who cares?" LOL!
@ShawDAMAN The Problem is not mariah but Horatio and his understanding of duty. Following to the books Horatio is a verry unhappy man, today you might say depressive, anxious about failure and without any self assurance. Thats the reason for his bold actions and also for marring Mariah - and he knows that.
My grandfather watched this series , I found it a little boring & didn't really follow it due to my age at the time but having seen it as an adult it was a good series I find . Similarly goes for Sharpe , a series set in the same period about the English army fighting Napolean & the Spanish in Europe.... starring a young Sean Bean
@MajBlood As I mentioned on another post for Loyalty, they made this Maria much more sweet and attractive than the book Maria. As for hurling before getting married, it has nothing to do with the attractiveness quotient of the woman. Its withdrawal symptoms from bachelorhood. Been there, done that.
Well i suspect they were going to keep her going before the show got cancelled, of course TV shows tend to be less about reality and more about drama. As we know she dies in the books, along with 2 of the children, which is more in keeping with the time period.
Well, this episode and "Loyalty", when we last her, were both made in 2003. People can age quite a bit in 8 years! (Julia was about 27 in "P&P", playing a teenager, and she's 35 here).
Ben Giles: He’s got a promising career ahead of him, a wonderful crew, a truly great commanding officer, and now a beautiful and truly devoted wife. No pity needed.
Well, on the plot summary of the book (I didn't read the book, just the summary on Wikipedia), he loved his wife, but he fell in love with a dangerous women.
@BrianCardova What do you mean? The trinity is in Protestantism as well, and not just in the UK either. The Scandinavian countries have it too, as well as others I'm sure.
@BattyKellen Too true.... All those wooden ships and reenactment props are expensive as hell to get and maintain. I didn't know that about Ioan though, thanks!
@Booskerboo98 yeah I was sad to find all the American vs British fights in the comments vandalising the sharpe videos. This is intelligent, I like to read this stuff
Horatio was rash for sure. But Bush makes a good point - this girl loves him, will stay by him, and will make an excellent wife. Not like that tart from from the Sharpe series! At first I felt bad for young Horatio, but in his haste he at least chose wisely.
Of course in the book a lot changes. Maria and Horatio have 3 children; Horatio, Maria and Richard. Horatio and Maria (the children) both die of smallpox. Maria (his wife) dies giving birth to Richard. Also Archie was a fictional addition to the Hornblower TV series (in fact Bush is Hornblowers best friend and serves with him for 15 years in book)
the Eighth Doctor is severely underrated because he only appeared in a TV short and a movie. He has in fact more non book appearances than any other Doctor to date and was the catalyst for the personality change to the darker Ninth Doctor.
"Well dammit man, the Hotspur will have you soon enough, your wife will have you only one night! You'll do as I say!"
Pellew's like the greatest substitute father-figure ever.
I remember loling when, in the book, Horato silently freaks out about how many people he has killed with his sword while cutting the cake!
can't believe they stopped this great series......it was the real deal
"Is she pretty?" Well if you're on a ship for months on end surrounded by men, then yes she is.
(8 years later) She's a sweetheart. I've had a thing for her since her days on Absolutely Fabulous!
@@EdwardTonai idk about that
I'm late to the party, but if I was in Hornblower's shoes I would have risked more to rescue Mariette.
Loyal and caring is more than beauty
This was a lovely scene. This was a great part of the book. I have a copy of Horatio Hornblower from the early 1950's. If only my dear wife of 32 years was with me enjoying this. She died 2 years ago.
Sorry for your loss; hopefully, you have nothing but good memories 🙏
Captain Pellew, Now... Admiral Pellew... Is such an awesome character! One of the best characters I have seen, I admire him :)
The best part of this series is the men's love for hornblower. They would litterally do anything for him with our without his asking.
"when your on land do you miss your ship?" Horatio might as well responded that he is a fish out of water on land! haha
I like how Hornblower is throwing up and the next thing you see is 'Duty'.
Marrying a woman you don't love after you proposed to stop her crying.
That describes Hornblower perfectly.
In the books, doesn't she die during childbirth? Or is that just in the Gregory Peck movie version?
Indeed. And yes, she dies during childbirth, and he doesn't really mourn her.
@@kettch777what??? Some husband
@@mew10521He's not a great husband indeed. Neither to Maria nor to Barbara.
3:08 Interesting how the mother perks up when Horatio mentions 'worldly goods'.... Hilarious. :D
It sucks for Hornblower, but he is actually sacrificing a chunk of his sanity for a poor miserable girl. To see her smile and look so happy warms my heart, and for that, Hornblower has my respect.
but at the same time marrying someone you don't love is cruel for her
I know exactly how he feels..
Hornblower is a true gentleman 😍 I miss u Kennedy ♥️❤️
Love that Pellew essentially tells Hornblower to have sex.
More like orders him to stay ashore to have the new Mrs show him a new meaning of "Hornblower". Considering he has a kid with her in the book, he learns to like it real quick
in the previous episode Hornblower asks permission to sleep on shore in order to pay his rent to Mariah and her mother ,which Pellew initially denies until Hornblower says it's to see a friend. Pellew gets the hint and gives him permission, even though Horatio didn't mean it like that.
Oh God, I crack up every time at 5:30. Right before, you can even hear her mother say "So, you're not married, Mr. Bush?" It's just too adorable.
Well in the immortal words of Lou Costello, "It's better to marry a homely girl because a beautiful one might run away. If the homely one runs away, who cares?" LOL!
All I could think when I saw the minister was, "Mawwiage..."
it was the regs in them times. I love pellew's face when he "joins in" in the party

Ioan Gruffudd has stated again and again how much he would love to portray Horatio again so I don't think money is HIS issue.
we need more films then only these. ITS A GREAT SERIES
To be honest I don't think he wanted to marry her.
Read the books
If you read the book he has many doubts.
Hes a patriot, he was more devoted to his duty. But once he finds out she is pregnant his view on duty change from king and country to his family
@@ReaperDogg In the book, she isn't pregnant. She only becomes during his blocking of Brest.

Instead of Mr Fantastic (let’s face it, those movies both sucked) Ioan should have been Mr Bond.
I watch the episodes as movies, for entertainment. And, I enjoy them as such. I don't look for details to nitpick. I just enjoy the movie.
@Hnamroe right; I was just annoyed with all these people and their comments for attacking mariah because of her looks or some other nonsense.
In the book, Hornblower never really love Maria. He married her out of pity. This may explain why he preferred to be on a ship than on land. After Maria died during childbirth, Hornblower took a second wife, Lady Barbara Wellesley. Unlike Maria, Hornblower actually loved and admired Lady Barbara. A well educated lady, she's an intellectual match to Hornblower. She's also a good looking women.
Is there a book about Hornblower??!!
@@humbertoflores2545 Yes. The TV series is based on the novel series.
And yet he cheated on Lady Barbara and kept dreaming about Marie de Gracay...
I miss Archie all the way through Loyalty and Duty :(
Archie was actually not in the books. Bush was Horatios best friend.
@@TheAndorianWarrior archie is in the books, but agreed, nothing like he appears in the series, and frankly I think the series is better for it. Bush and Archie balance each other.

i would follow officers like pellew, hornblower and sharpe to the end of the earth and back if they asked!
The duchess was truly playful, clever and fun. She would have got along with him soooo well!
It's H's own fault he got into the trouble he did. In the books, William told H to leave her alone when she was getting hysterical over a dream that was never going to happen. But H got involved and he payed the price.
This was one of those rare instances where the crew showed their regard and respect for their young officer.

I want to say thank you to people who do comment in such a way that is critical and really thought about what they were writing. I"m tired of reading all these stupid comments on youtube.
when he cut the cake, like in the book, bush knows. he used that sword to cut many men down, and remembers wiping blood from it.
Fearless when he's up against getting his face blown off or drowning but petrified when it comes to getting married. I've always loved these shows.
Pellew's hats keep getting bigger.
Generally speaking a good way of judging the rank of a naval officer at the time that, along with how much fancy gold stuff was on their uniforms haha
haha this episode is so lols
Funny that Pellew has to convince Hornblower to spend his WEDDING NIGHT with his wife:
'damn it man the Hotspur will have you soon enough, your wife will have you only for the night; you do as I say!'
Look at the bright side. He will be at sea most of the time and she dies in the books anyway. Then he marries a better one anyway.
She may not be the prettiest of women but she most certainly is one of the kindest of women.
In real life, Sir Pellew was married in 1783, about a decade before the fictional Hornblower would have joined the crew of the Indefatigable. The marriage produced 4 sons and 2 daughters. (Fun Fact: His first son was named Pownoll Bastard Pellew). :p

or maybe a little Admiral Thomas Cochrane
Sensible man that lt. Bush. 'In my opinion ithere is never a good time to get married' lol
Pellews is so proud that his practical son has gotten married.
I love the hats back then. So differant and so bold.
Robert Lindsey does an awesome Pellew complete with all the pomp and pagentry due the admiral.
And beauty, real, true beauty lies skin deep.
for some reason i can get every other video on youtube iv watched to work except this one
Married? DAMN YOUR IMPUDENCE, SIR!!!!
Very well acted!
Es una de mis favoritas
Looks like Styles finally learned to cook.
Horatio clearly says "not my steward,I''m afraid". Pellew gives him Doughty, his own talented steward as a wedding gift.
Translation:
Pellew: "You have my permission to have sex with your wife"
Hornblower: "But I don't wanna!!!"
I don't know. For all we know, Mariah might be an absolute freak in bed and rock Horatio's world and can't get enough of him. A lot of men would kill for a wife like that looks or not
In the words of the great Lou Costello: "I'd rather marry a homely girl because a beautiful one is liable to run away. If a homely one runs away who cares?" LOL!
3:18 the Mother-in-law reaction is funny
XD I remember that. I can just imagine him looking away as they cut the cake.

The Admiral and Hornblower were friends from the very beginning.
He's going up in the world.

Now I am really wondering what the book version of her must have looked like. Probably Quasimodo's daughter.
And so enters the WORST nickname in the history of everything: Horry.
I can never forgive Maria for that... Poor Horatio
She probably puts out with little need of encouragement or coaxing and is more likely a freak in the sheets.
Well, this episode and "Loyalty", when we last her, were both made in 2003. People can age quite a bit in 8 years! (Julia was about 27 in "P&P", playing a teenager, and she's 35 here).
Great Serie I didn'Tred the Books so the hole Story was' not Known by me i find the stuff Beautiful transfered into a mini serie
god i feel so sorry for hornblower
Ben Giles: He’s got a promising career ahead of him, a wonderful crew, a truly great commanding officer, and now a beautiful and truly devoted wife. No pity needed.
@@WickedKingLycoana wife he does not love
Well, on the plot summary of the book (I didn't read the book, just the summary on Wikipedia), he loved his wife, but he fell in love with a dangerous women.
They cut the cake with the sword? Classy tradition. Probably it wasn't very good cake :-).
Bush loves Hornblower!
@BrianCardova What do you mean? The trinity is in Protestantism as well, and not just in the UK either. The Scandinavian countries have it too, as well as others I'm sure.
@BattyKellen Too true.... All those wooden ships and reenactment props are expensive as hell to get and maintain. I didn't know that about Ioan though, thanks!
In the book Hornblower wasn't so pleased with being married.
I didn't want him to marry her, he did it out of "DUTY" and pity not love... and so the story continues...
The church of England ( Anglican ) is just the same as the Roman Catholic church , but without the trimmings .
Pellew is a good commander like jack aubrey.
@Booskerboo98 yeah I was sad to find all the American vs British fights in the comments vandalising the sharpe videos. This is intelligent, I like to read this stuff
Horatio was rash for sure. But Bush makes a good point - this girl loves him, will stay by him, and will make an excellent wife. Not like that tart from from the Sharpe series! At first I felt bad for young Horatio, but in his haste he at least chose wisely.
So he married Saffron but no sight of Edina and Patsy.
Never marry out of pity. Makes everyone unhappy.
Emrys Ambrosius: Agreed. Though I think that he comes to love her fervently. A good woman by your side is a gift beyond measure.
Of course in the book a lot changes.
Maria and Horatio have 3 children; Horatio, Maria and Richard.
Horatio and Maria (the children) both die of smallpox. Maria (his wife) dies giving birth to Richard.
Also Archie was a fictional addition to the Hornblower TV series (in fact Bush is Hornblowers best friend and serves with him for 15 years in book)
I snook in with the hot French girl when Hornblower was called away for some fight or summat! :P
I was at the wedding ;o)
And why?
haha i think that would be a far better one night stand for horatio, but just imagine how awkward he would be after that!
She actually looks quite prettier in a bride's gown
That guy is so much better at being a naval officer than the Doctor.
the Eighth Doctor is severely underrated because he only appeared in a TV short and a movie. He has in fact more non book appearances than any other Doctor to date and was the catalyst for the personality change to the darker Ninth Doctor.
He deserved a good wife and he found one.
Totally agree!....sea adventures at the 1800s.
@AragornofRedwall its not, if you read the book the same thing happens again, you have to get used to the swaying boat again
These seamen are putting horses out of business, pulling that coach from the church ....
Hornblower doesn''t looked thrilled at the prospects of marriage
so is there a number 9th episode ?
@Hnamroe It is good to see a flawed character like myself.
can she cook yes sir but my steward cant
neeeeeegh
wasn't there a Hornblower movie that covered the events in "Beat to Quarters"?
With Gregory Peck-- actually covered the entire book of Capt Horatio Hornblower. Did "Beat to Quarters" , "Ship of the Line" and "Flying Colours"
Poor Horatio.
The church of England rejects the catholic doctrines of papal succession and apostolic succession but keeps the ceremony of Catholicism.
Che bello
Well, the rich would most likely ride in a carriage after getting married, but in this case, it was just Bush being a genius.
i don't see how, maybe in friendship but not in love...
Well, having a mistress was all the rage in those days. I'm just kidding, she looks nice enough :)
The books likewise said he married, was he truely happy?
@AragornofRedwall you have to get used to the swaying boats again, or mabye it's Maria's face
yes sir but my steward can't
neeeeegggghhh XD
What happen to the final series🙊☠
