Frederickson is a soldier's soldier. It's why Sharpe liked him from day one. Frederickson handled Sharpe in much the same way when they first me, the difference was Sharpe also being a soldier's soldier knew when he had over stepped. This series was full of brilliant actors but Frederickson was my favourite.
This has to be one of the most civilized and proper meetings Sharpe has had with his commanding officer. Usually he is wrestling enlisted men in stables.
Not widely talked about, but I love the French Comte in this scene. His overt yet still poised maneuver to get between the two men and end the dispute so that both men have their honor intact after a small spat. He looks as if he's done the same thing with plenty of other high society individuals hundreds of times before. That's not soldering - that's politicking.
Great scene, the bit where he says ''The same Sharpe who took the Eagle at Talavera?'' Fredrickson's look, nod and lopsided grin gets me chuckling every time.
The beauty of British Television back in the day was that they had some fantastic actors to draw on for guest appearances. Sharpe's Rifles is littered with them. They may not have had a budget, but they sure had writing and talent available.
It's clear that Fredrickson doesn't give a damn if some upstart colonel gets himself gunned down by Sharpe. However, he doesn't want to Sharpe to get in trouble with Wellington.
The look on Bampfylde's face when he realizes the odds of his "winning" the duel are less than 1%, and even if he did "win" the duel his career would be over, and he would be shunned at the highest levels, which would rapidly cause others to shun him.... Basically he would be an outcast among high society!
Why on gods green earth would you challenge a war hero to a duel? You will lose the fight more Lilly than not and if you “win” you still lose since you killed a war hero. Just because you killed wild bill doesn’t make you wild bill.
I don't know about that, I think he would have been fine. His old man was of enough importance for his 23 year old son to become a full Colonel, killing a "jolly jump-up" in a duel would, especially one with such a revered career would likely have seen Bampfylde do pretty well afterwards. If Sharpe was a "gentleman" on the other hand, your statement would be correct.
You don't have to worry about what would happen if you won the duel. Sharpe has something called plot armor, even if he didn't look like he could defeat Bampfylde's entire family at the same time.
@@cheeseypie5555 His promotion went through because the Duke of Wellington wanted his father to be happy and give him what he needed to fight the French. Since Sharpe is the man who saved the Duke's life, been promoted by the order of the Prince Regent (soon to be King George IV), do you really think that Bampfylde's career would survive, in the unlikely event that he killed Sharpe?
Subtly telling your pompous colonel that the major who has just reprimanded him came up from the ranks and is married to an aristocratic young lady. Now thats shitstirring.
I love the insight this scene gives on Palmer. He is obviously a more minor character of the episode, but even though it seems on first glance he is just like Bamfylde, he really isn't. He is super-uncomfortable with the Colonels behavior, looks distressed when the crippled veteran get belittle, he knows everything about Sharpe. Think it is implied that Palmer is rather young, so no input on how long he has been in Spain - but he has definetly seens more than Bamfylde and has proper respect for the army
I always saw Palmer as a brave though inexperienced officer whose seen no combat, but he's taking the role seriously and he's studied and listened to experienced officers like Fredrickson to try and be a decent officer.
I like the short look Palmer gives Bampfylde after rattling off Sharpe's achievements. It's quick , but it pretty much says "you're dead, sir" without actually saying it...
Yes, I like the fact that, even though he probably does know all about Sharpe, he formally requests to know his name and then asks questions about, "Oh, you mean that Sharpe?" Allowing it all to be stated publicly.
@@odysseusrex5908 both Palmer and Bamfylde have clearly heard of Sharpe, but they have no idea what he looks like. That said, they should have clued in that a commoner who can get himself promoted to the rank of Major isn’t someone to be messed with.
@@ladyofthesith1943 Major Waiter answered with his ARM as you should have done if you had any sense of Honor. You shamed your self! You disgraced yourself with your horrible manners! You are a coward, and you will answer!
@@Algaean nah, he just wanted to be the one to deliver the news. He wanted a front row seat to this guys sudden realisation of the predicament he landed himself in
I can't believe Bampfylde asked Frederickson if he's seen much action . He seriously asked this to a man who's wearing an eye patch. Looks like he's had his teeth smashed in and has a deep scar on his cheek. 😂
after awhile I think it would have just been more effective to just bring the new officers over, "Now this is Major Sharpe, don't piss him off and he'll make you look like a hero, don't challenge him to a duel we're tied of looking for replacements."
I was thinking that when the french guy was telling Sharp it dose not pay to duel with his commanding officers..... I was thinking" Well if you really want to duel him, you wont be in command for long...."
Funny thing, in the book, Bampfylde was a captain in the Navy. The expedition contained 150 marines from the three ships Bampfylde commanded along with two companies totalling 120 men from the 60th Rifles commanded by Sharpe with Frederickson commanding one of the companies. The film version also completely left out the American privateer Captain Killick and his crew (probably due to budget constraints).
What the bet the officers in the background were agreeing with Sharpe, they just wanted a nice night with their ladies and Bampfylde is putting a crimp in it. Also they know full well Bampfylde's dropping himself in it walking up to Sharpe and challenging him.
Colonel Bamflyde. So typical of so many British officers in the day. The son of a rich, influential man trying to make a name for himself, and failing miserably due to his naivety, gullibility and total incompetence!
Like Nosey did? or George Washington that started as a Major? And "Colonel" Bamflyde is show invention , in the books he's a Royal Navy Captain, the Royal Navy didn't allow purchace of Commissions, only by merit or seniority
I think you'll find that such men were definitely a small minority. Otherwise, the British Army would have won far fewer battles. I would also point out that this was certainly not unique to Britain: almost every other nation was the same. "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
Excellent - I've been wondering what time these were going up nowadays; I seem to keep missing them. This is a top scene - so much going on, so many little interactions, but seeing Bamfylde deflate ignominiously in the face of Sharpe's reputation will always be amusing.
I kind of feel sorry for Bampfylde. His biggest fault was that he inept . At least unlike others such Hakeswell, Simmerson, Farthingdale, he was ready to go into battle and lead. He just did it poorly. And he also recognised he over stepped the mark with Sharpe, and payed him some respect.
No, later on he is all too eager to desert his men and Sharpe to save his own sorry arse. Yes the Count lied and said Sharpe and his men were dead, but Bampfylde was a coward, he eagerly took the Count's word without finding out for sure and left all his wounded men in the abandoned fort.
he abandoned his men and his mission, and lied to Wellington's face about it - telling Wellington that Sharpe got himself killed gallivanting around looting enemy convoys, and Wellington''s 'Well, let's ask him, shall we?' so we could add very poor timing to Bamfylde's faults
What will it take to make you fight me, perhaps a glass of wine in the face, Palmer will you act as my second, your opponents name, Sharpe, of the 95th Rifles, favourite of the Prince of Wales
i like that comment when Frederickson saying that is "that is Major Sharpe" and almost all the officers getting white on their faces 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lucky was there no Harper with them
As soon as he said seen much action. Frederickson realised this guy couldn't notice anything so decided to get a bit of fun revenge in. I mean bampfield they are wearing the same uniform for crying out loud
I think the interesting thing to note here is that there's two reasons being put forth for not engaging Sharpe in a duel here. The first and most obvious is the talk of him being a decorated war hero, who's actually seen combat and knows how to fight. The more subtle undertone is the situation of favor - Sharpe is favored by the Duke of Wellington and the Prince Regent. In addition to the probability of disgrace, there's the added danger of upsetting men of significantly higher station.
Go read them all. Sharpe's Fury was the only one I didn't enjoy, mainly because I felt Sharpe was just tacked on to a great story (taking the first French Eagle). Then go find some books by Conn Iggulden; his series on both Genghis Khan & Julius Caesar were outstanding.
The fool asks Frederickson if he's seen much action. Boy use your eyes and put 2 and 2 together. The man has lost an eye, has multiple scars on his face and looks like he's had his front teeth knocked out. Really shows how out of touch most of the rich officers who bought their commission were.
A subtle detail: Sharpe calls Bampfylde out on his use of language - the same kind of language he himself uses all the time. What really angers him is the way Bampfylde mistreats the one-handed soldier. Also noteworthy, Jane doesn't have Sharpe's back on this.
If you are referring to keeping his eyes up, I agree. Though since the woman, Abigail Cruttenden, would become one of Sean Bean's wives (they actually met through this show and may already have been involved by this point), it probably wouldn't have mattered too much if his gaze wandered a bit! 😂
This points out just how bad the policy of officers buying their commissions was. This fop woldn't last a minute against Sharpe with swords and even less with pistols. The difference between a real soldier and a wannabe.
what i like about the series is how even tho a common enemy is a dumb upper class person who doesnt know what they are doing there are still plenty of competent people who have a unspoken code of working around the idiots and do it in the funniest and snide ways possible
When my daughter was christened I got bottles of Moet Chandon. I don't know much about etiquette and filled glasses for a toast. One friend looked rather perplexed and asked 'what is this'? Champagne I said, but these are sherry glasses! She retorted. I'll fill it again I said. Friends can be funny folk :-)
Asking for a duel is today's way of asking for a fight, it's purpose to hope that the other side backs down/behaves cowardly because they know they do not want to lose. How this backfires is when the person being called out knows they have the skill and confidence to accept. In this scene we can see the bully calling out Sharpe, obviously not knowing who Sharpe is thus in the belief that the man will back down. It is only when the bully realises the enormous mistake he has made, calling out a war hero who does not back down, loves a challenge and is prepared to fight to the death, does the bully then become the coward and backs away.
Okay, so I was trying to figure out what the Frenchman was saying Sharpe would be called in French, can't hear it clearly, and captions gave me boom mall, I'm guess beaumal? Good-bad? Went to look it up using the British term, "Rising from the Ranks", and the Wikipedia pages has, in it's "Fiction" section it as a not-uncommon trope in military fiction, "with Richard Sharpe being a prime example." Whoever did that edit, that's good soldiering. Still can't figure out what the frog is saying.

The ability to reload this clip and watch it again 3 times a minute is what makes a good youtube viewer... Sir
I have a report from Major Hogan that somewhat differs from your account Sir Ken
“Seen much action?” As he looks at a man with fake hair, an eye patch, more scars and a mouth that could have had a musket ball through it…
Well there were officers who suffered similar afflictions I'd say.
"Oh no sir, you don't 'see' very far in combat. Too smokey sir. No sir, I'd dare say I've barely seen any action at all."
The way Frederickson eggs him on to say something to Sharpe, knowing full well he has no chance.
Frederickson 100% intentionally set that whole thing up to put him in his place seeing how he treated the disabled soldier.
Frederickson definitely egged him on because he knew Bampfylde was a fool and would challenge Sharpe. Making himself look like an even bigger fool.
Frederickson is a soldier's soldier.
It's why Sharpe liked him from day one.

Did Sharpe take the eagle at talavera?
You think they’d have mentioned it if he did 🤔
it’s funny because the smile is super fucked up
Palmer, the best wingman to Fredrickson while Fredrickson is the best wingman to Sharpe. The dude knew how to ask the right questions.
It's clear that Fredrickson doesn't give a damn if some upstart colonel gets himself gunned down by Sharpe. However, he doesn't want to Sharpe to get in trouble with Wellington.
Bampfylde's face when he finally realised he just insulted a warhero in a room full of witnesses is hilarious xD
The way Palmer and Frederickson list out and confirm Sharpe's achievements while secretly enjoying Bamfylde's reaction.....
The ability to see off 3 Bampfyldes in less than a minute in any weather. That's what makes a good soldier sir.

Asking for a duel is today's way of asking for a fight, it's purpose to hope that the other side backs down/behaves cowardly because they know they do not want to lose. How this backfires is when the person being called out knows they have the skill and confidence to accept.

It is only when the bully realises the enormous mistake he has made, calling out a war hero who does not back down, loves a challenge and is prepared to fight to the death, does the bully then become the coward and backs away.
Look Sharpe's from Sheffield so don't mess with the Steel City Boys
Great trolling by Fredricson and Palmer 🙂
I was involved in a very similar engagement at a local Zizis.
Fredriksons smile. Epic!
Colonel Bampfylde: (at 2:32) "Simmerson of the Horse Guards?!?!? The one who lost the King's Colors?!?!?"
Id be in the corner laughing so hard at the mans idiocy
Okay, so I was trying to figure out what the Frenchman was saying Sharpe would be called in French, can't hear it clearly, and captions gave me boom mall, I'm guess beaumal? Good-bad? Went to look it up using the British term, "Rising from the Ranks", and the Wikipedia pages has, in it's "Fiction" section it as a not-uncommon trope in military fiction, "with Richard Sharpe being a prime example." Whoever did that edit, that's good soldiering. Still can't figure out what the frog is saying.
He says, "What we French call , the 'bon mot'. A good thing. Well said."
Another evening another 40 clips of Sharpe watched after accidentally viewing one. That's youtubing.
Apology accepted and I will let you live one more day.
