I mean, I knew the Peninsular War was not exactly a picnic, but it wasn't until I read Harris that I really found out what it must have been like. <BR/><BR/>No, we don't seem to learn much from history.:(<BR/><BR/>UlliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-14363860650674607522008-11-12T09:24:00.000+00:002008-11-12T09:24:00.000+00:00Interesting post, Wendy. my current wip covers th...Interesting post, Wendy. my current wip covers the time of the Peninsular War so perhaps that's why I found the services of remembrance this year even more moving.<BR/><BR/>On a more cheerful note - I have enjoyed SB's portrayal of Sharpe until the past two programmes but think it may have more to do with direction than SB himself (And I like Paul McGann too).<BR/>MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-42329672348459897402008-11-12T08:13:00.000+00:002008-11-12T08:13:00.000+00:00LOL Fenella, but I must say I find Sean greasy loo...LOL Fenella, but I must say I find Sean greasy looking. (Esp his hair). Very off-putting! <BR/><BR/>There are some pics of Paul as Sharpe if you go to google, click on "images" then search on "Paul McGann Sharpe". (I'd put the link in but it doesn't normally allow them in blog comments to stop spams)<BR/><BR/>I have to say though, that had he been Sharpe, he'd never have been William Bush in Hornblower and he does look v good in a Navy uniform!<BR/><BR/>Clorinda<BR/>xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-42513419249564945462008-11-12T07:32:00.000+00:002008-11-12T07:32:00.000+00:00Paul McGann?

Terrible when you think about how many died from their injuries.<BR/><BR/>Re: Sean Bean...hmmm well Paul McGann was the original Sharpe but broke his leg early on filming the first series and Sean replaced him. I can't help but think Paul would have been a better Sharpe, but hey-ho!<BR/><BR/>Clorinda<BR/>xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-25952861410232190552008-11-11T18:36:00.000+00:002008-11-11T18:36:00.000+00:00One in twenty, Wendy.
