@@robertusaugustus2003Sharpe puts on sunglasses while camera pans around him while Pete Townshend howls in the background.
I see what you did there😂
She's a good shot, but can she fire 3 rounds a minute?
Round 1 at 0:38, round two somewhere in between, round three at ~1:41 while in a relaxed setting and doing her little piriouette each time she shot.
Question: dumb
Autism: triggered
Weed: gone
Answer: yes.
@@therealslimshady3662 round 1 was at about 0:21 with round 2 at 0:38 round 3 is at 1:12 so she’s just over by 12 seconds. The issue if you look she’s using a powder horn rather than cartridge like Sharpe would be using so that also would affect the time. If she had been provided with cartridge it would’ve probably closer to the 1min mark. Also the weapon she’s got is an American Kentucky rifle which was more for hunting than warfare compared to the Baker that Sharpe’s trained to use.
@@jonathantitterton9455
During the American Revolution the colonial militia used Kentucky rifles. It couldn't be reloaded as quickly as the Brown Bess musket but was infinitely more accurate and had a much longer effective range.
At Yorktown things had bogged down into trench warfare and American sharpshooters with Kentuckys terrorized British troops and made it virtually suicidal to stick their head up above the ramparts of the trenches even at ranges the British thought impossible.
Nobody's shooting 3 rounds a minute with a Pennsylvania long rifle.
@@rc59191 some mullet in the back hills of alabama: hold my pabst
"Okay, first off, we're going to make you facing Sharpe."
"Why not Hagman? I thought he was the best shooter."
"Why not Hagman? Well, lass, did you see any french officer around?"
"... no."
"Voila."
From a realism standpoint, there's no way in a field of soldiers that everyone there (perhaps except Lt. Ayres) didn't know that Sharpe dropped his ball. A blank muzzle loader sounds wildly different than a loaded one. Brandon F. has a video detailing this quite nicely.
Yeah I know. And Sharpe os the one who gave me interest in the all mustket things
@@FirstnameLastname-py3bc Even tho he uses a rifle.... Different gun from a musket as it is a smooth bore barrel, and the rifle has groves that twist in the barrel from my understanding.... The Red Coats use the Musket.....
I was shocked that none of his men said anything as they had to know what the sound of a loaded rifle vs powder load with no ball sounds like... I could see the rest of them not knowing the difference...
@@jonathanbair523 probably author(s) didn't knew that difference
@@FirstnameLastname-py3bc To be honest I don't think I would know too but then again I have not really been around that kind of gun, just modern guns....But from my understanding the powder blast is different as the ball is not there to hold back the cloud as much... But like I said I do not really know.. I do know the basic's of a smooth bore to rifled barrel...I also want to say the riffle did not have a bayonet attachment point unlike the musket, but that should not effect the sound of the shot.. LOL
He may not be a gentleman in the mess hall, but he certainly KNOWS how to be one in the field.
Feckin’ love Sharpe.
when a major throws a shooting match to get some loving! Thats Soldiering
Damn right.
Probably the best scene of female empowerment I've seen. Miss Ellie knew well that Sharpe was a better shot, and she still took him on anyway. And when Sharpe cheated to give her advantage, she called him out, asked him to fight as an equal, and lost as a worse shooter, not won as a "weaker" gender. Brilliant scene.
Yeah. One of the things I really like about it.
That's how you portray a good female character goddamnit
kapitan19969838 we know that.😉
If only she held that musket correctly.
Yeah, it works really well in part because it's so understated. It's two people having a conversation rather than someone delivering a filibuster.
Beating Major Sharpe at marksmanship without even being enlisted/commissioned...
... now, is that soldiering?
Beating Major Sharpe in a shooting competition. Now that's Sharpeshooting.
A simple act of chivalrous behaviour.
Yes, but he was firing from a kneel and sling, she was prone. Prone has the advantage.
@@roadsweeper1 Also women with the same level of training tend to be slightly better sharpshooters than men. Seem to be better on average at controlling their breathing, which, alongside the precision of the hardware being used are the main variables left when you have mastered sighting and compensating for environmental factors. Rare for civilians to have the necessary training to do so, and even today few militaries have enough women in the ranks for them to dominate even in fields where they have natural advantages, but modern sniper corps tend to employ a disproportionately high number of women for just this reason.
Sharpe wanted to hit her bullseye, sooooooo….
“Targets set at *a hundred* yards”
I was wondering about that. It sounded like 800 yards. I own and shoot flintlock rifles. There is NO way at 800 yards a person could be that accurate.
@@archerpiperii2690 Exactly. I would even say a 3" group @ 800 yds, semi-prone, with a cold bore, iron sighted *modern* rifle is an impossible shot, at least until I see evidence to the contrary...
@@fooanonymous Well, you could talk to a certain Finn about that, but you would need a time machine.
@@fooanonymous Yep, no way you could be accurate with irons at 800 yards. Even if the rifle was accurate enough, you'd be doing good to even be hitting a man-sized target at that distance, let alone the sort of sub-MOA (at 800 yards) accuracy they're exhibiting here.
@@archerpiperii2690 "was wondering about that. It sounded like 800 yards. I own and shoot flintlock rifles. There is NO way at 800 yards a person could be that accurate."
it's the accent
he goes quiet on the H
so it sounds like aundrid, which you hear as 800
I thought they said "800 yards" at first, then saw the groups they were getting and was like "shit, I couldn't even make that with an M4"
roadhouse699 that’s impossible
@@vauxvids with that kind of rifle, probably. If you brought Carlos Hathcock back to life, gave him a semi-auto in 6.5 creedmore, and had him do that, he could probably make that group at 800 yards in around 10 seconds.
@@roadhouse6999 haha
It's a 100 yards, not 800. You misheard it because of hagman's accent.
@@kpsiex yeah I did the same at first, its the way he says 'a hundred'
Why Sharpe didn't end up with this one, I have no idea.
Probably because she wanted to live.
Because she was created only for the TV series and didn't appear in the novels!
Also probably that she was Wellesley’s cousin.
Yep, she's a type of woman that I would love to marry. Skilled and capable.
A woman like her is a keeper for sure.
This was done with open sights - with black powder. That is impressive.
If you shoot regularly, you know it's insane that he outshot her from a knee while she was in the prone. Former infantry, can vouch Kneeling is rough.
Around, the 3rd shot, I did mumble to myself that she was in the prone position. Glad someone else was saying the same.
Yes thank god other people are thinking the same (currently in the infantry) 🤣
and with a shorter barrel without a double set trigger.
Not to mention he was using a British baker rifle if I'm correct. She had a Kentucky long rifle, which at that time was the most accurate long gun in the world, quote me if I'm wrong. The American made rifles during that time frame had rifling. The baker rifles were smooth bored.
@@evanshuey9048 How could you think that a Baker Rifle lacked rifling? It is called a rifle for a good reason. I think you have it confused with the "brown Bess" smooth-bore musket issued to regular infantry.
My goal in life: to be used as a stand for a telescope.
Kind of like me when I hold a door open for several people. I often comment "I could be replaced by a rock.".
Now that's soldiering!
I loved how sean bean never got killed off
"God Save Ireland..." It's not like Harper to turn a prayer into a swear word!
"say it Harper.
Go on.
SAY IT!"
FIIIILTH!
Ellie is the type of woman whom I would easily fall inlove with. Skilled and beautiful.
Ellie is such a likeable character in Sharpe.
A shooting competition like this would still be quite the feat for the time and would still be considered excellent shooting today.
Rifleman trained shooting out to 300 yards; 100 yards was the distance for new recruits.
@@pmagrin And these targets were 800 yards. Certainly possible with match rifles, but a war rifle? 2/10 would be good shooting at that distance with a Baker that survived the Peninsular War.
@@JamesWillmus Hagman says "a hundred yards" not 800.
I've been watching the Blu-ray version of this series, and viewed this episode just last night. Probably one of the best historical series I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of them). The attention to detail is amazing. And Sean Bean is outstanding as Sharpe.
It never ceases to amaze me the praise heaped on this series for things completely absent from it.
What detail? The 1970 movie Waterloo had detail in spades. This series is a joke! Entire battle-worn brigades are accounted for by the presence of a couple of dozen fat-arsed, farby reenactors with spotless uniforms.
@@theradgegadgie6352 There's nothing wrong with taking creative liberties in a show that isn't supposed to be historically accurate in the first place.
Not to mention this show had an incredibly tight budget. For what it's worth they did absolutely fine, especially for the purposes of telling a story.
You want accurate? Go watch a documentary and don't get your knickers in a twist 😂
Elle shooting Pennsylvania Jaeger, Sharpe shooting an issue British Baker rifle, 100yds damn good shooting!
You know, he could have still took the shot and deliberately missed instead of dropping it.
They would’ve known.
The shot was retaken at her request, purposefully missing a second time would have been ungentlemanly.
@@lucadavidson3936 I was referring to when he took the first shot.
@@supermixiegold how?
When you let the lady win the competition, to get love points then make out with her after a battle. Now thats soldiering.
A lady who can shoot well. What real men want.
A woman who will not only call you out when you're being a fool but laugh with you when you win. That he didn't marry her is a crime.
24680kong my wife is such a woman.
@@The_Sigillite What crime? Under what criminal codes?
@@HaydenLau. None, I was being hyperbolic.
exactly this is a real woman jane was a girl
Sharpe is Amazing
She is bloody lovely....
Good contest. Really nice of Richard to try and let the lady win.
Samuel Allen always treats the real ladies like a northerner mate best way northern charm
Do you really think those guns were that accurate to 800 yards?
Plenty of wind too. I think Annie Oakley would have trouble duplicating that feat.
@@josephinhiding3595 Did he say 800 or 100? If that's 800 yards then it's ridiculous. Those guns won't shoot 800 yards. My iron-sight flinter is good for man-sized at 250. After that it is just luck.
prone will always beat kneeling
It was patronizing. Nothing chivalric about it.
Always liked this show
So, once again, Richard Sharpe proves himself to be more of a "gentleman" than most of the officers around him! Especially Ayres!!!
Jayne Ashbourne was gorgeous back then...
She still is.
those flintlooks works wanders tums upp it s a good video
I have to admit, out of all of Sharpe's paramours, Ellie is the one I most wish he'd ended up with. She's who I would have married if I'd been him.
Prince Harry seemed chuffed at winning that bet 😁
Good shooting you two.
Ellie is one hell of a lady
Mr sharp definitely got the bullseye later
I think this was the first Sharpe episode I saw. Somehow I'm still a fan!
I recommend the books!
Gotta love those sound effects
A perfect contour of the buttstock for the best possible cheek weld. Double set triggers for a 3-pound pull. A smooth 1:10 twist rate. Buck horn iron sights for aiming. A polished frizzen and flash pan along with a precisely fitted hammer holding a flint knapped from American flint rock. That American rifle was pure perfection. All handcrafted by master gunsmiths. Perfection!
It's not the rifle that lost the contest.
A 1:10 twist? NEVER! My .50 Pennsylvania rifle has a one in SIXTY turn! One in TEN is for a CARTRIDGE, using smokeless powder! The least number of turns for a bp rifle was, maybe, one in THIRTY-SIX. Another thing: I BELIEVE buckhorn sights didn't come into use until later, on rifles that went west rather than east; Hawkins, and the like, i.e. shorter barrels and heavier calibers(I MAY be wrong in THIS). You're right about ONE thing, though; the American longrifle was one of the most accurate, beautiful(even the PLAIN ones!) firearms ever made
@@mikegrossberg8624 I guess there was no common standards between makers years ago.
Charlieville muskets were smooth bore. Mine is .69 caliber, round ball, flintlock. Have a Hopkins&Allen under hammer with 1:12. It's a .45 caliber, round ball, percussion cap. A simple design that's a tack driver at 100 yards. A US Civil War Enfield rifled musket that's 1:12. It's a .58 caliber, percussion cap. Shoots Minié bullets. Not made for accuracy, but, does ok.
All work best if cloth patch is used to surround the ball. Preferring a greased patch for the ball. Don't need to use bore patches if using Minié bullets. The rear flange expands to make a good gas seal.
The under hammer design has the hammer under the barrel. The trigger guard is also the hammer spring. I lapped, not just buffed and polished, the hammer mechanisms to get a measured 4-pound pull. At less than 3-pound the sear would release at the slightest bump. 4-pound is perfectly safe.
Seen various rifling tooling in reference books and museums. Haven't seen any tool sets that turn as fast as the rifle you mention, 1:60. But, there were no common standards of manufacturing back in the day.
@@whomagoose6897 Actually, 1:60 is a SLOW twist, intended for a lower velocity projectile and a longer barrel
Ellie is shooting a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Rifle - 50 cal. I have one myself; an excellent shooter. No fancy brass furniture, and just a grease hole in the stock instead of an ornate patchbox. If I remember correctly it's in the neighbourhood of 1:66" twist rate for patched round ball.
@@SmilingDave My first bp rifle was a Dixie Tennessee, but in left-hand version. Damn good gun! The only problem I had with it was that I didn't have the skill(or the NERVE) to try inletting a patchbox to replace the grease hole
A 100 yards. Not 800
That's what he said. He said, "Targets set at A 'Undred Yards."
@Rory Forbes It is fantasy, I doubt anyone could consistently land shots with a flintlock and roundball at 100 yards with that tight a grouping even with a scope to aid them.
@@Seven_Leaf It's not fantasy mate, it's a rifled barrel.
@@Seven_Leaf its not a smoothbore
Really enjoy watching Sharpe. Seen the full series multiple times.. but wish they would use the sling properly
the tennesi mounten rifle against the british baker rifle good shooting tums upp
Getting a better score in a shooting match against a rifles officer when you're not even in the army?
That's civilianing!
Major Sharpe is such a gentleman here, he's allowing Miss Nugent two advantages, 1) using a firearm with a set trigger, and 2) prone benchrest position. Sharpe is using a standard trigger (mil-spec if you like), and a supported kneeling position. Anyone who's ever done competition shooting will verify that having an upgraded, crisp trigger and having the most stable and supported firing position are both distinct advantages for accuracy in competition.
Major Sharpe shows Ellie a bullseye with his one-eyed willie in her pink divot later that evening.
Was Bernard Cornwell thinking of the archery competition in Robin Hood tales when he wrote this?
I wish i wasnt a baby when these came out... Would love to be an extra for something like this
I mean Sharpe could lose this and it wouldn’t actually mean much, being able to shoot accurately and being able to shoot accurately and repetitively in combat are very different things
Man people have really taken this as I care that she wins, I just meant it as in Lt Airs etc shouldn’t try and mock Sharpe for losing
The Baker rifles would hit a man sized target at 300 yards.
WALTERBROADDUS right... which doesn’t have any impact on what I said at all
Even without that stunt, she still should have won. She shot better. True her rifle was superior, being a smaller bore rifle with a superior trigger, but she still shot better in my honest opinion. But anyway, the competition wasnt super important, he wasnt going to lose anything if he lost.
I suppose it was important for you that she lost despite winning
@@theduke7539 also want to point out she shoots from a way more stable position lying prone against him in crouching posistion
Hagman actually says at a hundred yards, not eight hundred yards. It's his country accent which is confusing people. John Tams who plays the part is a well known folk music performancer as well as an actor and sings the theme song. Likewise Harper is as is the actor playing him, Irish, so the word is shite.
I don't understand this why is she shooting from the fully prone position and Sharpe is only kneeling which is far more difficult?
prone is a more accurate position while kneeling is Sharpes more military usage.
consider if the Minnie conical bullet had been in use then.
I think its so he can use a shooting sling
Kneeling while sitting on a bench is still very stable.
I can't remember if there was a handicapping of the match where he wasn't to shoot prone, but it could also be he simply preferred kneeling when firing repeatedly. As you saw she had to do a lot of repositioning after each shot to reload and for some that extra moving around can be fatiguing or get you out of a rhythm.
Where can one get DVDs of the entire Sharpe series? I have some of the books, and seen a couple of TV transmissions, but would like to see them all.
You can find the online to torrent
Sharpe never won in competition, as all the videos I saw.
that s humble
Their hearing must have been demolished.
I really wanted to see Ellie again in the series...mores the pity...
Prince Harry lost quite a bit of money there... 😂
Ellie was a real cutie
I like this scene
Bella Ellie
The lady was prone a much steadier firing position than sharpes
@ And her rifle's second trigger (the first one that she would pull) made her hammer fall with a more slight pull of the trigger.
Interesting, a few of his shots there was only a flash in the pan. Either the charge didn't go off or there was none in the barrel, maybe because the camera shot was from the front.
3:40 you got to love harper!!
Gentlemanly of him to let her win.
Graceful of her to notice and insist he take the shot.
Hard to imagine a scene like this being filmed in 2019.
How is it hard go imagine?
Not gentlemanly at all, its a shooting contest and therefore both genders should have equal chance of hitting a target, he doesn't need to make it more balanced in her favour, if it was something else then fair enough but its a pretty stupid scene.
@@danielpinnington4720 What exactly does Sharpe get here by winning? He's a veteran of hundreds of battles and has inflicted pain on more Frenchmen than the Clap. Everybody expects him to win a shooting contest against some silly broad. But if he lets her win, everybody respects her a little more, he loses absolutely nothing and she might even be so jazzed about the whole thing that she shows him her love hole. Also there are enough differences between the genders to where it does matter when it comes to a shooting contest, otherwise Olympic target shooting events wouldn't be segregated by gender.
@@GivemetheGravy well, for one thing, if it was written and filmed today, she'd have 100% no-scope hit the bullseye every single time while sharpe would have inexplicably missed shots even if he had a rep for 360 no-scoping mothers for the entire series.
For another, the idea of a man "giving" the woman a victory rather than her "seizing" the victory would be considered "sexist" and thus never make it past the scripting stage, even assuming it went into the script. thirdly, the victory would have been treated as "her due" rather than an equal test of skill, much less a surprising test of skill.
hell, if you want a perfect example of this, look at the new star wars trilogy. Rey manages to fix the Falcon, a ship trained mechanics like Han and Chewie could barely keep running, She managed to master a lightsaber to the point where she equals a fully trained Sith Lord despite never having actually even seen one before, she masters the force to a degree past Skywalker, etc, etc, etc.
"Patronizing of him to let her win."
There, I fixed it.
As for "Graceful of her to notice and insist he take the shot" her noticing while also focusing on her own shooting shows exceptional powers of observation, and her insisting that he take the shot shows her integrity.
So--he won the shooting match, but she won in terms of inner character.
Now that's Soldiering
This actress is so beautiful bruh
Target set at a undred yards.
A wee Lass out gunning a Major. Now that's soldering!
It ended too soon. It should have ended where everyone laughed at Lt. Ayers!
Good thing Sharpe didn't end up shipping to America for the War of 1812. He'd have found himself on the wrong end of those Pennsylvania long rifles.
They did try, in Sharpes Regiment, Lord Fenner and Simmerson were trying to cover up their crimping operation they were going to promote Sharpe to colonel and send him to America with a rifle battalion to get him out of the way.
@@mjspice100 The creators couldn't deviate from history that much! If they had actually sent Sharpe there, they would have reconquered the colonies!
What was your job in the army? I was the telescope stand!
Some even vehicle tracks in the background.
What's the "trigger" Ellie always pulled back first, before pulling the real trigger to fire the gun?
That is a set trigger arrangement. The first trigger advances the sear to a set position, hence the name, and the second trigger becomes a hair trigger - Easily releasing the hammer.
Set triggers are actually quite common in muzzleloaders, especially the ones made for hunting small game (F. ex., .32 caliber ones).
@@cleidsonaraujopeixoto163 The one she is firing is from the Americas right? An American Rifle?
@@Crackshotsteph Maybe, but probably is a german one.
@@cleidsonaraujopeixoto163 no it definitely a Pennsylvania rifle probably made in Italy in 1980s of 1990s but still american
@@adamhauskins6407 Good observation. What makes me doubt is that the Penn Rifle is an evolution of the so called "Jäger-gewehr", or Jäger Rifle, which came with some european folks - a good part of them german - who settled in Pennsylvania.
what about Ayres's reaction?
Man, the women in this show kill me! Exquisite!
Sharpe has a shorter barreled rifle (assuming these are rifles and not smooth-bores) and is kneeling while Ellie is prone and had a significantly longer barrel. In the real world, this would put Sharpe at a sharp disadvantage and it would likely show on the targets.
This is musket chuck norris
Sharpe shoots a baker rifle, ellie an american musket with a smaller caliber
No one shoots better than Sharpe..except Hagman maybe.
@@maxscheurich4219 Ellie is shooting a Pennsylvania rifle.
@@00BillyTorontoBill Hagman was regarded as the unit's BEST. Better than Sharpe. That's why Hagman was so special. Chesire poacher, skills turned to hunting French soldiers instead of deer and such :D
That sure doesn't look to my eye like 800 yards!
It isn't, it's 100 yards.
At 0:06 Hagman says "Target sat at a 'undred yards". Perhaps his Cheshire accent confused you?
Sharpie, is so sharp that he always gets the woman. 😂😂
how do i watch the show
never thought I’d hear Patrick say scheiße
The Baker Rifle was designed for combat, the Kentucky was designed for hunting. The Baker can use a Bayonet, the Kentucky can't.
STEVE P Can use a bayonet but only if you want to sacrifice accuracy; the Baker’s bayonet was a BEAST.
He clearly says "At A hundred yards", if you understand how the Limeys gobbledygook up the English language, entirely doable with both the Baker RIFLED musket and an American 'Kan tuck ee' rifle...
I mean he's kneeling, and she's prone so.
Her barrel longer and has a double trigger
Sharpes is a standard army rifle
Ellie was a great character created for the movies, shame she isn't in the books...
800 yards shot??? With those rifles????!!!! NO WAY!!!
A hundred just his accent!
So were you mate
On further review, it's the accent. This is a 100 yd match. However, Baker rifles are able to make hits at 300 to 400yds.
@assassinlexx 1.they are rifles. 2. they have sights.
@assassinlexx At a hundred yards or 800? His accent makes it sounds like 800, which agreed, is implausible. A hundred, which he actually says, would be extremely doable.
Having a shooting contest with a comely Irish lass... now that's rifling!
Is that... Sean Bean... Smiling?
Yes and doesn't light up his face. Gorgeous smile. Could melt a womans heart at 50ft. No wonder Sharpe gets lucky.
Imagine what these guys could do with modern rifles.
god help Napoleon!
Where can I get the full movies???
There is a entire Sharpe youtube channel.
Try Amazon. The entire series is on a 15 disc boxed set
How did no one else see him palm the ball lol
Wins the shooting match...and the girl. Reminds me of a book I read where this Italian policeman had this psychological tick where he HAD to play backgammon with a woman and beat her before he slept with her...he was an expert backgammon player so everything worked out well, but one evening, he kept losing against this one woman who WANTED to sleep with him, but was also an expert player herself, so they kept playing game after game...until she finally let him win, but he realized this, which totally killed his mojo.
That sounds hilarious!

@@killersalmon4359 Finally! Thank You 🙂
Just chiming in with the "he said A hundred, not eight hundred" crowd because are you all incapable of parsing language or something
In that case the command was wrong since it should be
Target ----- 100 yards without an a in it
Great scene but a few things to nitpick as to the outcome. Lady Ellie is laying down with a more stable shooting platform than Sharpe. Crouching is of course better in most cases than standing, but laying down with your gun on the ground or propped up on by the elbow or on shooting sticks, is normally considered ideal when shooting over long ranges. She also has a longer barrel on her rifle, naturally making her gun a bit more accurate on average. If she had to carry that rifle all day, like Sharpe and his men do, she may well have gone with the shorter lighter rifles that his men carry.
@assassinlexx Iron sights are definitely not ideal for any kind of long range shooting,
@@BandedcookiePeople still shoot iron sights. They are just adjustable today.
@@WALTERBROADDUS I know. And a hundred yard shoot is nothing by today's standards. Just pointing out some observations on this particular scene, as to how the lady was shooting even with Sharpe.Her shooting stance,longer barrel etc. In years past when gunpowder was becoming common in warfare many rifles were incredibly long. Really only usable in sieges. Her rifle is not that absurd, just a bit heavy for a lady to carry regularly.
@@Bandedcookie Well she is using a American made PA or KY rifle. It's for hunting. Versus the Baker rifle Sharpe is using. Still, they can shoot well in the right hands. ruclips.net/video/mdu8piPP9NE/видео.html
@@WALTERBROADDUS There actually was no such thing as a "Kentucky" rifle. That's just what people started calling the rifles from PA gunmakers that the longhunters carried into the wilderness of the "dark and bloody ground"(that's Ken-tu-kee, according to the Indian tribes who hunted there). And, if you notice, she carries her rifle on a sling, just like the Bakers. My 40 inch barreled .50 Pennsylvania rifle weighs 8 pounds. I don't know how much a Baker rifle weighs, but the Brown Bess musket weighed TEN pounds
deffo should have married ellie my favourite supporting lady
Trying to throw the match to bed the girl...,.Now that's a Soldier!
Is this a tv series? Whats d title pls? Is it sharpe?? Ty
It is a series but each episode is like a movie. Sharpe is the lead character and if you are looking, just type that in. Sharpes rifles is the first episode. It's available on Netflix in some regions, in others the episodes are a bit random.
Ty for d info sir 👍🏽
Look for the Books by Bernard Cornwell. There's like 15 or something. All are pretty good reads. Each book = tv show episode.
You want to read the books first.
Major Sharpe takes the match and Harper doesn't end up in the poorhouse.
Imagine if Sharpe married into His Excellency the Duke of Wellington's family?
Family dinners would be interesting. Long silences perhaps
She has the advantage shooting prone
Barrels pretty fouled by the end. No cleaning between shots.
