One of the Best Episode shots, bewteen the Captain's, I wanted to Slap Harvey with a White Glove, and get my Sword, I took Fencing at ASU in Boone North Carolina,in 1980
This is an excellent series of Books and movies. I have the privilege of having a complete book of all the Hornblower stories and all of the A&E movies. Ioan Gruffudd, Gregory Peck both present a believable portrayal of Haratio and is based on Adm. James Gordon. Edward Pellew, 1st Viscount Exmouth (born 19 April 1757, Dover, England, died 23 January 1833, Teignmouth, England), was an historic British Naval Officer. I find this series and that of Richard Sharpe played by Sean Bean an interesting period during the Napoleonic time.
Hornblower sees a father figure in Pellew I think. But also, Pellew see his yonger self in Hornblower. I think this might be why they work so well together.
I researched and found out that Pellew was a real person. His ship, Indefatigable, was real. His background and his rise in the Navy were similar to Hornblower's account. Sir Edward Pellew was a talented Navy Admiral, especially with tactical activities. Unfortunately his name has been forgotten by the general population, except the fans of Hornblower.
@@hanaforsuccess315 he couldn't step out of Nelson and Cochrane's shadow, and after his promotion to Fleet Admiral took no further part in Navy affairs at sea, focusing on reforms at home. It didn't help that after the blockade the Navy was eclipsed entirely by the Army in terms of heroic tales of daring do, with the escape from Coruña being one of their few highlights
I loved this part! Hornblower certainly had some guts! Very brave, loyal and inspirational!💙🇬🇧💙! The way the captain said ‘Hornblower was great too! Also a very funny argument and I loved the way Hornblower said ‘not for long it would seem’ in that voice at the end😂
True story, The real captain Pellew once swam to a Sinking ship the Dutton that ran aground in a storm carrying a lifeline to evacuate the Passengers and Crew he helped save over 400 lives that day. A 16 yr old Irish boy that came to help impressed Pellew so much that he became his patron, that boy became another legendary Royal Navy Captain and Admiral Pellew's own Flag Captain.
Am copying this with citation, placing it on wall..... . Thank you both, the person who uploaded this series, and you for highlighting one of the many great lines in this character. There must be still some of us who believe in things great, and in the traditional virtues time honered, through eons of honing.
It's stolen comment but: Shorten sail, whilst using the momentum you have to bring the ship to starboard, wait for the sails to fill, then lengthen sail and off you go, with a bit of luck you won't need to tack anymore.
@@swiety1981 Use the momentum. If necessary let go weather anchor and stand by to cut free. Heave in clewlines. Let fly lee braces, down helm to tack and haul in to starboard or larboard tack depending on which side the headwind favours. Meet her with jib sheets, back the upper hamper and then spanker sheets to bring the bow around. Brace to the new tack, sheet home headsails and let fly clewlines and down slack buntlines. Up helm to the new course
@@brucelee-wo5ge Hullo, Bruce. No. I'm not. However, I am a descended relative of Admiral Edward "Crook Neck" Boscawen who was around the same time during the French wars. However, for several years I have served aboard tall ships, albeit not INDEFATIGABLE frigates or ships of the line. So these are the kind of seamanship matters that we tend to deal with from time to time. For Midshipmen well away from Dover and their daily activities the question must have caused the sort of slowed thought process as shown by Hornblower. In fact, theoretically the correct answer would be "Carry out the Sailing Master's orders" as he would be on-deck in inshore waters such as we have off Dover and would assume command in such an emergency. However, what the Board was looking for was a demonstration of seamanship/sailing knowledge and correct reaction in an emergency situation. There would have been a wide-range of questions many intended to demonstrate command and control capabilities of a level expected of a Lieutenant..In this case the Frogs provided a distraction that let him demonstrate much of that ability.
Dueling was banned multiple times, but never heavily enforced, though if caught had generally severe consequences. For example, Duke of Wellington banning it in the Peninsula War.
I really enjoy these movies. I think they are missing (like most movies made from books) a great deal of the detail you find in the books, but they still are still lots of fun.
I watched the next episode. they say something at the end of the next episode that tells the true ratio. (The Duchess and the Devil, Part 12) I won't say it if you haven't seen it.
I love Mathews. He may not have a high rank, but he is vital to keeping the men in line and providing a great example. Truly the heart and soul of the British Navy were made of men like him.
Yes, esp as many such duells were just to the first blood, esp if fought with epée. Not all duells were supposed to kill. Duells with pistols were more dangerous, esp if they had several shots or short distance.
@Songsmirth well to me, this makes him a badass. And I don't think he was otally selfish before. After all, he did get onto the fireship, too, when he could have let Pellew burn. In fact, wouldn't that have been more satisfying for him? Also, like I said, Hammond is a total bastard.
Honor demanded it. Even if they missed honor was satisfied. Found an item articles of war #23. Think it said that the challenged person would loose position if they did not answer the challenge. “Sort of you no’ “Coward! Like all Starfleet, you talk and you talk, but you have no guramba!’”
The argument between Foster and that other captain was hilarious!

I don't understand what is so HUMOROUS about their argument, SIR!
What about the high pitched Scottish retort ".....I will not!....." I've replayed it many times.
@@ronaldjones5589 why Harvey? He wasn't on the boat. It's Foster and Hammond on the board
@@strangeyoungman after saving the Indy and nearly dying Foster still gets annoyed by Hammond coming late-Hornblower's WTF look tells us everything.
Who needs the BBC when ITV can produce a series such is this? Well done ITV

I KNEW Captain Foster looked familiar!! I didn't realize it was Wedge from Star Wars!
Oh my God how did I miss that. I deserve a whooping for my blindness.
One of the best TV series that I've ever seen ever
Thankyou very much for posting all this up, it was a most enjoyable way to spend a night.

He did the same burning ship heroics on Lake Champlain as a midshipman and was made a lieutenant.

their sexual chemistry is as dangerous as a fleet of fireships
steering a flaming ship away from a collision and rescuing your superior officer? now that's sol- i mean sailing
Pyecroft, you old so-and-so! How are ya?
You’re pretty sharpe, I’d say
I loved this part! Hornblower certainly had some guts! Very brave, loyal and inspirational!💙🇬🇧💙! The way the captain said ‘Hornblower was great too! Also a very funny argument and I loved the way Hornblower said ‘not for long it would seem’ in that voice at the end😂
The way Pellew said "Hornblower" when he saw Horatio at the helm of the fireship, I'm not sure if it was a curse or a prayer!
I love the arguements shared between the captains.
Wow...Wedge from Star Wars even kicks butt when he has to stop a fireship!
A pilot and a captain
You are a legend for having a youtube channel with this show.
Fireships were as deadly as it got for a ship, considering everything was covered in tar, and sails would burn fiercly.
Hornblower in the boat....wow that escalated fast.
Thanks very much for uploading this! Brilliant stuff
Wedge Antilles and Barristan Selmy get into an argument. Should be the title of this video.
Thank you just watched them all,did watch it when it
First came on tv...
True story, The real captain Pellew once swam to a Sinking ship the Dutton that ran aground in a storm carrying a lifeline to evacuate the Passengers and Crew he helped save over 400 lives that day. A 16 yr old Irish boy that came to help impressed Pellew so much that he became his patron, that boy became another legendary Royal Navy Captain and Admiral Pellew's own Flag Captain.
A remarkable individual and a Naval genius. Just like Lord Cochrane. The Royal Navy have had lots of really amazing officers.
Hornblower was always ready to save his friends from death.
Hornblower somehow, seemingly "bumbles" his way to outshine all others... it's brilliant...
what was bumbling about this or the majority of his other adventures?
Just thinking of the distances we travel yet how far we've still to sail as men.
God I love this series, thanks for posting!

They've got to be standing on something in the water, how else would Foster be so high in the water.
i wish they told us what the awnser was for the cliffs of dover situation
"drop the anchors"

I was waiting for Capt. Hammond to yell "Never never never!"
Thanks for uploading the full episode!
When englishmen started a quarrel 🤣
Denis Lawson is Ewan McGregor's uncle. So the StarWars thing sort of runs in the family. :)
5:40 - the entire boat scene.....brilliant \o/
Dueling was banned multiple times, but never heavily enforced, though if caught had generally severe consequences. For example, Duke of Wellington banning it in the Peninsula War.
This is set before Wellington banned dueling in the Army. The Navy, while not under his command also followed suit.
Haven't a clue how Hornblower's hair survived all this...
the boy stood on the burning deck...
I really enjoy these movies. I think they are missing (like most movies made from books) a great deal of the detail you find in the books, but they still are still lots of fun.
Oh god, I hope Hammond didn't kill Foster in the duel!
Excellent series.
Brilliant series....
Thanks! Great vid!
LOL I was thinking the exact same thing. :)
Just thinking of the distances we travel, and yet how far we have to sail as men.
Very corny line.
@@LordTalax Yeah, it meant almost nothing at the end of probably the best episode.
I watched the next episode. they say something at the end of the next episode that tells the true ratio. (The Duchess and the Devil, Part 12) I won't say it if you haven't seen it.
Nothing like an ice cube between two matches.
the captain is cool
NP your welcome ^^!
what he actually says is "Hold Oar".
He was telling the rowers to stop rowing
LOL at the dialogue in the end. Classic tomfoolery.
@rawrschach and Hornblower is just "What the blazes just happened?"
Thanks for posting
He will be MOST WELCOME.
I only just realised when he looks at the crew he’s looking at Mathews at 2:45
I love Mathews. He may not have a high rank, but he is vital to keeping the men in line and providing a great example. Truly the heart and soul of the British Navy were made of men like him.
All that and they didn't pass him for his exam.
@rawrschach HE WILL BE MOST WELCOME!
lmfao the lookonhornblowersfacewhen thosetwo captains are going at each other hes like "what the fuck:|"
Hornblower saved his ass!
Happens all the time on NW xD
I wish issuing duels was still legal...
@funnyflyingdutchgirl thank u so much 4 the upload i'm a big fan of Ioan Gruffudd :)
ROFL at their arguments
Maybe, or maybe they both survived. (that happened sometimes, in which case both would just end the whole thing)
Yes, esp as many such duells were just to the first blood, esp if fought with epée. Not all duells were supposed to kill. Duells with pistols were more dangerous, esp if they had several shots or short distance.

Also, like I said, Hammond is a total bastard.
So no promotion???
Yes..no promotion
Correct
hahahah foster is jokes
@tyrannusBE ah of course thanks for that my bad
Fire ship, they should have put a broadside into the fire ship!
i thought he got promoted in this one ? maybe not
He could continue as acting leutenant. And got mentioned in the Gazette and his captains report.
Wasn't duelling banned by this time?
Probably, but they of course did so anyway...
Honor demanded it. Even if they missed honor was satisfied. Found an item articles of war #23.
Think it said that the challenged person would loose position if they did not answer the challenge.
“Sort of you no’ “Coward! Like all Starfleet, you talk and you talk, but you have no guramba!’”
so . . . he passed it?
Not the formal exam no, but as Pellow states, he passed the real life one with distinction.
kamikaze of the 18th century.
Yes, but the crew of the fire ship left before it was fully ablaze, so they usually survived, even if they sometimes got captured POW.
Too bad for the crappy ending.
Wonderful series.
