The TV series that made Sean Bean a legend comes to Public Television starting tonight, February 15 at 10:00pm thanks to WETA UK.
Based on the book series by Bernard Cornwell, Sharpe follows the life of British soldier Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles during the Peninsular War (1807-1814).
If you are in the Washington DC Metro Area and don't know WETA UK go to the link below on how to watch this fantastic PBS channel we have the good fortune to have access to in our viewing area:

If you are new to the Sharpe TV series and want to know a little more about it, I wrote a series of posts about the series episodes back in 2012. But beware of spoilers and follow the posts in chronological order:

There was a time when I was very involved in the Sharpe fandom, and even with some of the people that worked on the Sharpe series. Alas, those days are long gone, but I have good memories of those times. (For the most part 😊). For the memories:

For Sean Bean fans in the DC area who know him from The Lord of the Rings, or Game of Thrones, or his wonderful series last year, Broken, but are not aware of the Sharpe series, this is a great opportunity to catch up.
Sean Bean is Richard Sharpe, and always will be.
