I love how nobody on the french side noticed that the ridge above them sported a very orderly row of suspiciously british-looking hats.
Natural rock formations Caporal.
That’s actually just what ridges looked like back then. They cut off all the rocks that looked like British hats to prevent ambushes like this one.
I'm more concerned that they didn't spot all the TV cameras.
Nah...them thar those 'hat rocks'
Too busy dreaming of cheese and garlic.
Grabbing the volumes of Voltaire when there's other loot to plunder.
That's Harris-ing.
Don't forget that at the time this was set books were very expensive, and even valuable. And one by a known author like Voltaire, even more so.
Is that what is known as Harris-ing the enemy?

@@colinmoore7460 books were not all that more expensive than today back then, or since the invention of printing anyway.
Perhaps he wanted it as bum fodder
I love the roar Harper does whenever he shoots his volley gun, he does it in every episode haha. What a tank
it's less of a roar than a painful grunt. Firing a Nock Gun is not meant for the typical individual
@@SantomPh True, I heard somewhere that it was a rare weapon as it could break a man's shoulder when fired
@@SantomPh In the books I'm Harper is a massive guy so I think it's just him yelling lol
@@royalhero4608 It did dislocate shoulders on occasion, yes. The navy did use them... briefly. Not worth the trouble in the end.
@@royalhero4608 It was developed for the navy originally, I bleive. To clear the deck of any enemy ship for bording, but the kick was so strong sailors would fall out the crows next if they weren't carful and broken shoulders were possible. I the books Harper is said to be huge, noticably bigger than the others and streong enough to control the recoil, but I don't think he used it all the time still.
smacking your daughter for making lovey eyes at the soldier, now that's parenting
Yeah, a good parenting!
B O N K
@@EnRiCo45100 *Bonk* go to horny jail
That’s not nice to smack
@@matthewskudzienski888 different times. I mean abusing a child is bad novody will agree to that. But discipline is a lost art, especially common respect and dignity.
It always cracked me up the way Fredrickson yells "Fine I take it with your hand attached!"
The best thing about the Sharpe series is that they're really good about depicting how war was actually fought in that period. There were rules for engagement; battles didn't generally end in slaughter, one side or another eventually surrendered or fled; those that retreated were allowed to do so; and the biggest reason soldiers fought was for the promise of looting the enemy.
The reason why Sharpe was excited about quinine is that it’s got some interesting medicinal properties, and is particularly good for treating malaria, a big problem in spain at the time.
He's excited because Jane's dying of the fever and it's the cure
Yeah. A popular malaria treatment. The stuff is horrible
@@SStupendousTo make it more palatable, the British mixed it with Gin. And that's how we got the Gin and Tonic.
@@DonaldWMeyers-dwm I'm shocked I never connected those dots, interesting!
Achievement Earned:
*The Farmer’s Daughter*
you should make a big list someday
Killing a French soldier by smacking him in the stomach with the flat of your sword.
Now that's soldiering.
You didnt know bruising and a minor scratch was fatal?
The he carries the deadliest sword. The sword cursed with the power of plot armor.
Edit: spelling
Just wait until you see the uber deadly Sharpe 'sword to backback, boot to arse' combo.
@@michealohaodha9351 ah, I see you too are a man of culture.
It's a early Lightsaber - just without the light. It has no Flat or Blunt side.
@@michealohaodha9351 it seems the stunt co-ordinaters took a few pages from the A team.. (seen Murdoc knock a guy out with his scarf), , also , so calm when the French Surrender, spend a few minutes tying them up and taking their arms, before looting the carriage, any one could be a zelot, and go from raised arms, to dagger wielding madman in a heartbeat...
Tie em up, put em in a circle, have a gun pointed at the commanders head..then get yer Jesuit Bark..lol.. still great fun to watch..
Saying "Aaargh" before firing the Nock gun. That's Harpering.
It's the Law.
Teaching Robinson you don't make free with the French girls, now that's Harpering.
Wellington, during the peninsula campaign gave strict orders that no acsses were to be taken against the local population at worst a soldier could end up being flogging at worst it could be a hanging.
Inteligente decision que Napoleon no supo tomar
Plundering and raping goes back against the perpetrators.
I love how this channel has brought the Sharpe Series to new people and started some epic memes ngl
There are some sweet memes to be had on our FB group Old Nosey’s Sharpeposting.
Now thats 'Sharping'!
It's like they made 12 seasons of band of brothers. Except it's way more meme worthy.
Achilles Immortal Band of Brothers is brilliant (one of the best series ever made IMO) but it’s a little too serious for mining good memes.
But it would have been funnier if Lt. Sobel had shouted *’FILTH!’* at everyone.
Your Right Major Sharpe leads his men like a ghost force and leave no frog soldiers alive
Flirting with the farmer's daughter whilst reloading a rifle, in the middle of a battle, with no common language and then almost getting hanged for it.
Now that's soldiering.
That’s not far off. One of the things in the book “Blackhawk Down” that wasn’t depicted in the movie(for some odd reason that is abundantly clear) was the Ranger obsession with unique “jacks”, with the ultimate being a “combat jack”; “jack” being having it off with the farmer’s daughter, minus the actual daughter...
Doesn’t matter what country or what branch, every enlisted man beneath a sgt will openly respect this guy
I love that.
"These people are our allies!"
"Harris, ask them if they're our allies?"
*Speaks French*
*Spit*
The point is to convince them to be "who they are"/turn them.... allowing rape would ensure that aspirational goal would never be reached....
Harris asked if if he was ready to rise up against Napoleon. The old man spat in response.
Sounds similar to WW1 & WW2
Guy was protecting those Blunt rolls with his life 😂
Only blunts in the world for another 100 or so years lmaoo
Over doing the slap on the girls head, nearly knocking her unconscious... Now that's method acting.
Kubrick always does this when it comes to movie making.
XD
Watchthisspace82 Watchthisspace82 well if s Jr e gets raped that hurt a lot more 🤷♀️
Kinky.
@Danael Ruzzo 😂😂😂😂
*0:40* You know shits about to go down when the major of the 60th Rifles takes off his eyepatch and false teeth.
*Captain
Hes a captain but yeah I agree.
I’ve had false teeth since I was 29(I’m 41 now) almost been in three fights since then and every time I take them out to start throwing hands you can feel the tension leave the air as the guy across realizes his not going knock any teeth out today and I’ve nothing to lose and he does.
This usually starts the, “Bro, listen….”

Now that's doctoring
@@Elrond_Hubbard_1 Amazed Sharpe knew what it was and how expensive it was... o.0 such small details but so good!
i was wondering what that was. couldnt quite tell when they were talking. i thought it was cinnamon for a second.
@@SpoonyJeffUK well it was brought up earlier in the episode my dude
Was it that expensive?
The boys are all so sweet here. Frederikson pleading for his man, Sharpe desperately looking to Harper for advice, Harper sensibly pointing him to the girl, Harrison delicately enquiring about love making... They may not be gentlemen strictly speaking, but they sure try to do what's right! And of course, the girl did well to stand up against her Dad. Happy endings all around!
Well not for the boy, he still gets a beating.
@@FerretJohn He deserves it, going AWOL to make love to a girl, no matter if it's consentual, is still going AWOL.
his name is Harris, not Harrison
@@SantomPh Right, sorry.
FerretJohn Worse, he didn’t get a happy ending.
0:35 apparently not a single Frenchman decided to keep watch on their surroundings. Heads and guns sticking out over the edge, how did they not get seen?
when you march many miles a day many hours a day you tend to zone out even if you want to keep your guard up
Its a movie
Being invisible to the French while not bothering to hide.... that's soldiering.
Tbf, this is a rear echelon supply column, they wouldn't be suspecting anything, could very well not even be aware there are brits in ao, also as said, marching since early morning will tend to leave you largely oblivious due to tiredness. Officers likely young and not placed in said kind of unit for being especially competent.
I thought that....
Removes horse wig, eye patch & teeth before Battle. Now that's soildering
Also the obvious ambush that could have been seen from a mile away
Mitchell Gruenenger yeah they we’re even ducking
Cyberian Wolf Maybe they had all just been promoted to officer.
And the mouth full of fake teeth spittle was proof of method acting.
Showing a good fight without super bloody CGI. Now that's storytelling.
Anyone else think that extra went a bit crazy when he slapped his on screen daughter ??? Savage
Felt the smack on the other side of the laptop screen
That's what I thought and "I was like dang I dont think he was supposed to hit her that hard."
Could of been her real life father.
Or if you have that take and the others you shot look puny, you might as well use the one that's aggressive.
Dunno.
yep, no faking that
Hell no! You see those men falling off horses and stuff? Why should she not have to take one for the team?
They probably agreed too it.
" *UP AND AT 'EM!* " - Sharpe
"UP AND ATOM!" - Radioactive Man
"UP AND AT THEM!" - Wolfcastle
“My eyes! Ze goggles do nothing!”
jesusisherelookbusy Federickson - “my eyes, this eye patch does nothing”
Did anyone else notice that small smile from Harper after the girl said, “oui.”
Things to loose before the fight:
1. Silly hat
2. Wig
And before things get really interesting:
3. Eye patch
4. Teeth. Cause you might find better ones...
Got to love Frederikson...
I dont know if the show explains it. Quite simple really, does it to look terrifying to those he's trying to kill.
@@idealicfool when Sharpe first meets Fredrickson he is informed of all of these and is rather disgusted but also impressed.
@@SantomPh I'm quite well aware of that having read the books. As I stated however, I was uncertian how it would have been portrayed on the show seeing as all I have seen of it is these snippets on yt.
Sweet William lol
My friend: Hey dude look at that cute french girl.
Me: Harper take Robinson behind the barn. Tell him he does does not make free with the French Girls!
Looting Voltaire after punching out a Crapaud: Now thats Harrissing
I always liked when frederickson undresses so to speak before combat as a dramatic spectacle but I've just thought now it could be a deeper trait of the character that he wants to face the enemy or death or god as the man he really is perhaps not what he feels obliged to appear as as an officer and gentleman particularly as a foreigner in the british army
Every time I watch this show I have to remember..Sean Bean actually DOESN'T die in the end lol
He dies a drunk in the gutter in the books. I think he should die at the Alamo in his 60s. After all, one real British soldier from Waterloo fought there.
Have you guys seen turn Washington spies?
fishyc150
What? No he doesn’t. Patrick-Henri (Lassan) reports him to have died by the time of the Starbuck chronicles, with 1860 being the deduced year of his death at 83. He was reputed to have built up a modestly successful farm in the common-law company with Lucille Lassan( Castineau). The odd thing about Patrick-Henri is that his demeanour is much like his father( softened more through his mother’s influence), but his appearance is more akin to Frederickson( in that his face is a war-ravaged horror).
The way harper shouted "Sir!" after sharpe told him to take robinson behind the barn. Ouch
"We are, we have always been and I hope will always be, detested in France": Lord Wellington.
"You must hate the French as you hate the Devil himself": Lord Nelson.
yes, but rape and looting were still punishable offences by the Provost Marshal. After Badajoz's days of carnage many did feel the lash or noose
And French mums would tell their children if they didn't behave themselves the Duke of Marlborough( the man who destroyed France's grand army at Blenheim Ramillies and Malplaquet) would get them.
@@johnlewis9158 Hush my child stop your squealing, stop your squealing or I say, that it come that maybe, Bueunoparte will come your way.....
Don’t worry i will continuate to hate fucking english for what they have done against us
@@georgedelanoy9548 What did we do to you? It's hard to keep track.
I have learned from reading comments on other Sharpe clips that there were budgetary restrictions which kept producers from doing all they might have done otherwise. But when the French soldiers simply scream and fall down it reminds me of when children play war.
Staying hidden at 0:33 with your heads exposed; now that's soldiering.
Clicking a Sharpe video once you see it:
Now that’s soldiering.
ambush by black Irish
Black as BOG!
“BADLY AMBUSH!”
Nothing as good as Irish tricks. ;)
Such an ambush would have broken a lesser man, but not old Girdwood no sir.
WOULD! DID!
Harper going 'AAAEEEERRRRGGGHHHHH' before firing his 7-barrelled gun is the content I subscribed to see
Hitting your amorous daughter.
Now that's fathering.
This is a truly great series. Well written, well acted. Not quite as polished as some films but it is gripping and addictive. Highly recommended!
True words
Love Fredrickson taking out his teeth and eye patch and wig during every battle. You knew you were in for a real fight when that happened…
I consider this episode as maybe the best of the whole series.
legend has it those frenchmen are still standing with their arms up on that road to this day.
Rumor has it that they didnt lower their hands till after WWII.
@@greenknightable you mean to say they actually ever lowered their hands?
When you roll a one on perception check
Reading all these RUclips comments about Sharpe and no idea why I'm here but go on to watch like 20 more.
Now that's binger-ing
These french soldiers make star wars stormtroopers seem proffesional
Getting instant corporal punishment for making eyes at an enlisted man, now that's 19th century harsh parenting.
Being overjoyed to find some books on Voltaire... Now that's soldiering
"Alright, boys. When I shout 'ACTION!', you struggle and make French noises!"
1:46 gotta love that sound effect
The punch sound effect at 1:45 really caught me offguard. :D
I believe the French girl has been watching the barnyard animals too long.
There was tough competition between french soldiers and strom troopers for the darwin award.
Harris rushes for loot, and grabs the books. My heart.
Ambushing a French column now that's what I call soldiering
Can't believe there are shows like this which are really great but unfortunately I haven't heard of them till now
I have finished great shows such as Sharpe, Police Squad and DS9 in these times. At least it's something to be thankful for.
That's enough soldiering lads, save it for the frogs.
Sweet Williams’ bollock kick, now that’s soldiering!
Seems a rifleman liked the dragoon's helmet. Or is it a curassier? Idk
Dragoons. Cuirassiers never fought in Spain.
@@tommiatkins3443 thank you
@@tommiatkins3443 Good call on the dragoons, but this episode takes place in France.
@@johnmccarron7066 Whoops!
@@tommiatkins3443 It's okay. It's all still soldiering!
1:51 that kick omg XDXD
Robert Rogers during the French & Indian War ambushed the French in a similar manner during the French & Indian War in 1758 in northern NY. They got above an advanced guard of the French & they waited and then fired into them as an ambush, hit the French pretty hard.
The volley gun used in this series is an actual shrunk down reproduction of the historical version which was used in the early stages of the napoleonic war for ship to ship combat.
It was sharply abandoned (hohoho) for being very unreliable, and having recoil so bad it would often break your shoulder and shove you off your firing position to your death.
Jesuit's Bark, also called Peruvian bark or China bark, was an old remedy for Malaria. While I can't say how valuable that box would be in those times, I can safely say that during an outbreak, that medicine would be worth more than its weight in gold.
Sharpes in the house : fire!!
France matching : oh god we surrender
French when the buildings start speaking English: Meh.
French when the Prussian Flags start marching: *REEEE BAGUETTE*
Glad Frederickson was Sharpe and paying attention.
Taking the hand with you, now that’s soldiering
Fredrick: Gold I hear?
*forms into virtual God and rips his hand clean off for G O L D*
I like Sharpe even as a French but it definitely seems that we were quite oblivious of our surroundings here 😀Also I think the ambush seems a bit too close for comfort for the British troops, after the initial surprise the French could have attacked them with bayonets, I expect that in real life they would be farther away, at least 20-30 meters away I assume?
Agreed, you would think the Troopers would notice the four Riflemen aiming their Baker rifles at them out of the two windows from maybe 30-40 meters away but hey, was a good series.
That bag of sovereigns is probably more than that farmer would have earned in 5 years.
Hilarious, Sean Bean had his ambush set up just like his plan in Ronin. I'm surprised his men didn't get killed in the crossfire.
Actually if you look you can see they arn't firing across at each other then are both at the front of the column firing down the road.
1:20 that getting shot acting, now that's french soldiering
@james cowboy when don't they 😂😂
Gently warm the milk. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm milk and 100ml of tepid water. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes, or until frothy.
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture.
Whisk from the centre outwards until the consistency of double cream - this will take a few minutes. Add a splash more water, if needed.
Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside for 45 minutes or until little bubbles form on the surface.
For the butter, pour the cream into a freestanding mixer. Whisk on high for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cream splits into solids and liquid.
Drain through a sieve, discard the liquid, then rinse the solids thoroughly with cold water. Place in muslin and squeeze out any excess liquid. Mix ½ a teaspoon of sea salt through and wrap in greaseproof paper.
Grease four 10cm egg rings with vegetable oil. Wipe a little oil around a large frying pan or iron skillet and place over a medium-high heat.
Arrange the rings in the frying pan and, once hot, spoon 4 tablespoons of the batter into each ring. Cook for 5 minutes, or until little bubbles appear on the surface.
Once the bubbles have burst, leaving little holes, use tongs to carefully lift off the rings and flip over the crumpets, then cook for 1 minute on the other side. Re-grease and reheat the rings and pan before cooking the next batch.
Serve the crumpets warm, with a slather of butter. If making them in advance, just toast lightly on both sides when you come to serve them.
That's crumpeting.
Great Sean Bean
Quinine a precursor to Hydroxylquoriquin.
I see this series would not be broadcasted in France haha
I love Fredrickson's uniform. It's so regal and badass looking.
[How to tell your enemy this seemingly mundane thing is important]
the baker rifle is the best for this kind of job! so precise it is
Failing to observe an obvious ambush before it springs?
Now that's monging it!
Finding a box full of sticks. Now that's whittling.
Only Frenchmen scream like that, "Aaaaiiiiieeeeee...!!!"
Will of the people, strong in command.
The guy at 2:31 looks like Jeremy Clarkson from behind lol
“Key, KEY! FINE! I TAKE IT WITH YOUR HAND ATTACHED!
Holdfast looks pretty good now lmao
Fighting the French with side kicks with your boots.
THAT'S soldiering!
What was the thing in the box? Tried captions and much help those were.
Bark from a cinchona tree, it contains quinine an antimalarial which is also used in making tonic water. Jesuit's imported it from South America for treating a number of diseases.
Shouting "Aghhh!" while blowing away some Frogs? That's Harpering
firing a Nock Gun would cause a lot of pain from the recoil
Frederikson and sharp should be commisars in warhammer 40k lol
The Guant's Ghost series is inspired by the Sharpe novels lol
Relaxing with a French gurl after some hard soldiering - that's rogering
That must be the most obvious ambush ever depicted on film.
Budgetary limits I think. Almost like a stage production -- notice the lack of wide-angle filming. Would love to see this series of books done properly today with a real budget.
Where can you watch all the episodes
I can count a few times a girls scream ruined several situations that required silence.
French:corprol are those english soldiers pointing muskets at us
No why
SIR!
What in the box and what is it used for?
That dude smacked that poor girl in the head for real.
Can anyone tell me what was in the box? didn't quite understand him and what exactly is it?
0:06. That guy is going to have a bad day. There is no flint in his locke... whoops.
She had that look didn't she! That's Soldiering!!!
*When the farmer smacked his daughter.*
Me: "And I took offense to that.
That hand had the weight of the 1800s behind it. The thud alone....had me stunned."
Thats fathering
