Sharpe's Revenge this Sunday on Sharpe Sundays: The Peninsular War Comes to a Close

Sharpe's Revenge

Wellington is winning and we’re coming to the end of the Peninsular War. Sharpe is in a battle with the French forces led by General Calvet. Who is that man with Calvet? Sharpe’s enemy Ducos is back guarding Napoleon’s treasure. What will happen when Sharpe meets Ducos? Who gets Napoleon’s treasure?

In the home front Jane convinces Sharpe to sign off his money to her in case he dies in battle. Sharpe is so in love he goes for it, and even promises Jane this next battle will be his last one.

Can a man in the midst of war, a lifetime soldier, make such a promise? Jane has also become great friends with the conniving Lady Molly who covets some of Sharpe’s money.

Poor Sharpe, Jane is still having dreams of being a grand lady back in England after the war. Can Sharpe fulfill those dreams?

What does Sharpe dream about doing in peacetime? He dreams about farming.

Will Sharpe finally defeat Ducos? Why do we love Frederickson?

What happens to Napoleon?

For the answer to all these questions join Sharpe Sundays this Sunday, September 16, to watch Sharpe's Revenge with fellow fans. We have a lot of fun and would love to have you join us.

I can now perfectly understand why you answered me: The matter is who loved Sharpe most, and not who Sharpe loved most! Jane seems to be joining pleasure and position! She doesn't aim only Sharpe's heart!

Hi Teiteiforever,

You'll see tomorrow. Jane is not my favorite for a reason.

Hannibal: Season 3 Review by Eric Goldman Love crime -IGN

And wow, was this version of Red Dragon awesome. Yes, it streamlined some aspects – we didn’t get any of the Dolarhyde flashbacks (one tiny glimpse aside) and Will’s role was altered, to some extent. But this was creepy, intense storytelling through and through, with Richard Armitage bringing just the right mix of scary and semi-sympathetic as Francis Dolarhyde, a murderous, delusional monster who was at war with the potentially loving man somewhere deep inside him – a war amplified as Dolarhyde fell for the blind Reba (a strong Rutina Wesley), even as “the Dragon” was coming to life within him, compelling him to kill.

North & South and Spooks (MI-5) Win Top Spots in BBC America's Top British Drama's of All Time

North & South wins the #2 spot in BBC America Anglophenia Readers Poll of the 10 Best British TV Series of All Time.

I hope BBC America and PBS (US Public TV) will look at the results of this poll and will broadcast this wonderful series in the U.S. It aired only once in only select PBS stations back in 2005, I know because I was one of the lucky ones that saw it then. I don't recall that it ever aired on BBC America.

Also great news that Spooks or MI-5 in the U.S., won the #7 spot in the reader's poll. Another series that has never been allowed the time to find it's American audience on PBS or BBC America.

The time is now PBS and BBC America for US audiences to see these two great British programs.

For the results of the Anglophenia/BBC America poll click on the link below:

"The Hobbit" Question of the Month: Sexy Dwarves or Bearded Dwarves?

Unless you've been under a rock lately you know that Peter Jackson and "The Hobbit" group have been very busy making casting announcements about the film. Because of the casting of several very attractive actors (talented actors all) for the Middle-earth dwarves (Richard Armitage, Aidan Turner, and others) there's quite an interesting discussion developing between Tolkien purists and fans of the actors in question, or just movie fans in general about whether the look of the Middle-earth dwarves should remain true to the book, or maybe changed to provide some eye candy for us ladies.

There's a marvelous and very funny article all about this issue on www.theonering.net by Maegwen. You can read the entire article by clicking HERE.

I was just inspired by the article and RA Central (on Twitter) to post the unscientific poll below. So how about it world, do we want sexy dwarves in Middle-earth or hairy, long-bearded, dwarves?
