Sharpe: The Legend

Of the vast number of roles Sean Bean has played he will always be Major Richard Sharpe in my mind, so much so a signed photo of him as the English soldier hangs above my computer. Based on the Bernard Cornwell novels, this series overview is set up as a tavern tale as told by Riffleman Cooper (Michael Mears) a few years after the Battle of Waterloo. You really should watch the series in whole as well as reead the fabulous novels but if time is short or if you are just nostalgic for some Sharpe action this will do. The old Borg Queen herself, Alice Krige, shows up as does Elizabeth Hurley, who I think is the most beautiful woman in the world, who delights the pervs here with a ta ta scene to die for. BBC and British cinema vets such as Pete Postlewaite, David Troughton, Daragh O'Malley and many others also appear. Action adventure at it's very best!
