SHARPS PERIL, as in Sean Bean Sharp on tonight?

[jenk1]

at 9pm tonight on ITV.

my mum and sister will be very happy if it is

He doesn't get leave!

Everything would grind to a halt without him! He's already won Waterloo, you see, and now he has to come out of retirement to sort out India...

@ India.
I know what he should be sorting out next......

GLad we got the obligatory shirt off having a wash scene .

eee he,s looking a bit past it now our sharpe.

He was looking a bit

old, wasn't he??

But still does it for me....

I didn't think he was looking that bad, tbh. He was always pretty rough around the edges, so I don't think age has withered him too much .

How old do you think he should look fgs?

He was born in April 1959, so he's 50 next year.
I think he's wearing pretty well!
Would do for me any day

he can ditch the petulant blonde dolly though. he'll go right down in my estimation.

Romy - ditch the petulant blonde dolly from the programme or the real-life one? of Mrs Bean...

roisin - I wasn't suggesting he should look younger than his years as much as I was mourning for the passing of the Sharpe of the 90s - Sharpe in his prime. He just looks a bit knackered and fed up with the soldiering now as a character. (Saw a pap shot of SB recently, on the other hand, and he's looking fine still!)

And I still so would!

See - I old you he was due some R'n'R

Second part tonight at 9...

Any minute now .

compared to Harper I think Sharpe is holding his own pretty well indeed. now if only he'd hold my own too

That petticoat she was almost wearing was a bit on the sheer side, wasn't it .

Harper has kidney stones...how are the mighty fallen!

DH made an approving comment on the wetness of that petticoat

Someone's going to end up delivering that baby aren't they? My money's on Harper...

Nah - just after the opposing force has turned tail and run, the one who helped with the kidney(?) stones will deliver it, and in the sudden silence after all the gunshots we'll hear the baby's cry.

Sharpe always gets his ensigns killed, doesn't he?

And I hope kidney stone/cannon guy doesn't get killed...

Well I was close on the silence/baby thing, but wrong about the rest.

But we got the traditional look over the shoulder just as the credits roll

What I want to know is how the heck did she keep that white dress/nightie thing so damn white - what washing powder was she using.....
