Sharpe's Adventures — Napoleonic Wars

I like the 'Richard Sharpe,' adventures series, a fiction TV movie made from the fiction based books written by Bernard Cornwell. on the Napoleonic Wars. I was wondering if other here are fans and/or enjoyed the TV Series and/or books. :D

The show launched the career of Sean Bean...a very good actor.
 
I've read (I think) most, if not all, of the books. Also watched the BBC series. Good reads with some fairly picturesque accounts of Infantry combat at the time.
 
I like the books. Never saw the tv series.

If your a Netflick user they have all the BBC TV Series on DVDS. :D

Read all the books, seen all the movies. Books are better, but the movies are still very good. They work hard to be accurate.

Both Sharps as well as Hornblower.
 
I have the Horatio Hornblower series on DVD... that was an expensive buy :(
 
Chosen Men!!

Been a fan since I watched it as a kid.

The entire series is on youtube for those who don't want to spend the $300 on the DVD set.

Oh yes! Sharpe's Adventures — Napoleonic Wars! I love that BBC TV series! I have collected all 15 of the series off Net Flick. As I recall they still have them for rent there. Did I make copies ... uhm me do that?
 
I had a Brit roommate that turned me on to the Sharpe's series, great books. Never seen the TV shows, but they sound interesting.
