    • Trivia
      Differences from the original novel:
      • Isabella (Ramona in the TV movies) accompanies Sharpe and Harper to England, along with Lieutenant Harry Price and Captain Peter d'Alembord
      • A young prostitute warns Sharpe about his impending assassins while in St. Giles Rookery
      • The cadet fatigues are light blue with grey trousers instead of all white
      • Sergeant Lynch beats Charlie Weller's dog to death instead of shooting it.
      • Colonel Girdwood and his cronies pursue Harper in the dark of the night
      • Jane Gibbons meets with Sharpe before the presentation in front of the Prince Regent
      • Sharpe is directly arrested after interrupting the presentation
      • The enmity between Sharpe and Girdwood is slightly expanded near the end
    • Goofs
      When Sharpe is entering the armoury with Sgt Ted Carew, Sgt Carews foot can be seen strapped up behind him. (He is wearing a wooden leg;e supposedly lost his leg at the battle of Talevera).
    • Quotes

      Charlie Weller: [speaking about the French] Then they must be quaking in terror!

    10/10
    Among my favorites of the series
    This is one of the best episodes of a brilliant series of films. It's a brief departure from the usual battle hackenslash of the other films and instead shows another side to Sharpe's personality, including his terrible intuition when it comes to the pathetic and deceptively fragile Jane.

    But Sharpe isn't the main highlight of this installment. For me, the head attraction is Harper, played by the impressive and easy-on-the-eyes Daragh O'Malley. His revenge on a brutal sargeant with the simple words, "God Save Ireland" is a moment to be cherished and rewatched over and over. Just delicious.

    There are few TV movies that I simply adore, and the Sharpe series is right at the top. It was a grand discovery.
