A clip from the tv movie Hornblower: The Even Chance (www.imdb.com/title/tt0129686/). A British ship is raiding French shipping on France's western coastline.
"I have no desire to lose anymore of this convoy due to your DAWDLING Sir!! I love it! It's a collection of directing, writing but mostly acting. The entire cast was awesome. ESPECIALLY Michael Lindsey: The epitome of an impatient, intolerant, bad tempered, loud however efficient, heroic, at times generous British Sea Master/Captain. The very reason why the British Royal Navy of that time period made Britain such a successful maritime Empire.
It is a movie , although fiction, it very accurate depiction what it was like to be on a British man of war in the eighteenth century . ruclips.net/video/KpNhN-L9L-g/видео.html @@lfc7763
@@ebannaw Of course, in a perfect world, Jack Aubrey would lead a squadron with Hornblower commanding one of the ships transporting the 95th with Sharpe to some mission.
The first series, movies 1-4, were excellent. Movies 5 & 6 were OK but had some real problems, chief among them some real plot problems (eg, making the 'who pushed Sawyer down the hold' the big mystery of the series when in the book it's shrugged off) and a noticable lack of verisimilitude due to the producers deciding that, unlike the first series, they didn't want to film anything actually at sea - the ships were built on land and the difference was obvious. Movies 7 & 8 were horrible. Horatio is an unlikeable SOB, Styles is a freakin' idiot, and nothing happens that would make you want to watch the movies more than once. I certainly didn't.
20 minutes into the first episode of Sharpe: "You random guy I just met, go on a secret mission to save the war effort" An hour into the first Hornblower: "Oh man, what am I gonna do about all this rice?"
Sharpe was already an experienced soldier from India and was already a rifleman in the 95th, so sending him to the Light Company was a no brainer. A field commission means he needed a command anyway. By this point Hornblower hadn't even passed the Leftenant exam and was fumbling about if not for Matthews and his men.
@@SantomPh Err... the word is PRONOUNCED "leftenant" but is SPELLED (or "spelt" for the older British readers) LIEUTENANT just as it is in American English (and in French).
@@DieFlabbergast nowadays that's true, but not so long ago that would have been the correct spelling, so during the time period depicted it would have been correct ^^
@@SantomPh Mathews: Experienced Enlisted, Jack Of All (naval) Trades and can get things done with style. Styles: Will get things done, but not always with any style! But great man to have when things get rough, especially during combat!
Rice swells when immersed in water. A cup of dry rice makes three or more cups of cooked. Below decks, Cookie shakes head and mutters, "Tried to tell 'em."
Raiding is only allowable against ships of nations with whom one is at war (this has always been the common practice of ALL nations). Piracy respects no flags or nationalities.
Got all DVD plus one more after BBC story ends in 1950 Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo was the end of story great actors great story all tied up Title Captain Horatio Hornblower

Capturing a French commerce vessel? Now that's sailoring!
Magnificent stuff. "Hornblower" was the best depiction of the Brit. Navy...Ever!
Agreed, though I find Master and Commander to also be amongst the best depictions of the Royal Navy during this time period.
Master and Commander?

One of the best series on the planet

Indeed it is.

The royal navy is the Senior Service for a reason.
Sharpe was already an experienced soldier from India and was already a rifleman in the 95th, so sending him to the Light Company was a no brainer. A field commission means he needed a command anyway.

The nightmare that Hornblower has later of Pellew yelling about the hull is jarring
Rice and a leaky ship makes for a bad combination...
Someone read the novel!
Rice leaky ship challenge (you won't believe how it turned out)
Or a giant rice pudding.
Rice swells when immersed in water. A cup of dry rice makes three or more cups of cooked. Below decks, Cookie shakes head and mutters, "Tried to tell 'em."

You've seen the episode as well.
0:46 "looks like you missed, Toast."
The subtitles are hilarious
at 0:20 the subtitles suggest he says "whats up nerd" lol
Thanks for pointing this out as I never turn them on, I almost cried laughing
Loved the series. Own the set.
The History of the United Kingdom perfectly described in just one scene...
Every nation did this kind of stuff.
What a show.
When the empires did it, it was 'raiding' when independents did it. it was called 'piracy'
And when empires contracted it out it was called Privateering.
@@chardtomp Absolutely, and it worked too, that's how England won against the Spanish and french, or so we claim.
Or war horses in Calormen

Lindsay has a voice on him, doesn't he
Wonderful books. CS Forester was a genius
Is this not based on Ayrshire Admiral Lord Cochrane. The French called him the seawolf, he was so good.
