I adore the Sharpe series, even though, to be honest, it's pretty spectacularly cheestastic in many respects. But. BEAN! I'd watch a lot worse stuff to see Bean in a nice tight uniform. *g* Not to mention the Chosen Man and all the amazing guest stars
I have the box set of all the episodes... I could watch Sean Bean in those tight breeches for a *very* long time before it would start to get old... *g*
Oh, agreed! Watching Bean *never* gets old. I do have some problems with the scripts and the production on some of the eps, but Bean? Hell yeah.I wrote an essay for idol_reflection on Richard Sharpe. It's here, if you care to see.
And I have all of the original eps, plus Sharpe's Challenge. I don't yet have Sharpe's Peril. Back in the LoTR days I pestered the local Borders store until they got them all in stock and then scooped them up like Gollum with his Precious. :D
