DVD Description
Sharpe's Peril
It's India, 1818 and Lt Col Richard Sharpe and Sergeant Major Patrick Harper are travelling across India, escorting the beautiful Marie-Angelique Bonnet to meet her fiancee. While in bandit-plagued badlands, they come across the very dregs of the Crown's troops; an ill disciplined, rag-tag unit led by boy soldier Beauclare. As Sharpe and company sit down to have dinner with their hosts, the camp comes under attack by the notorious bandit Chitu. As the dust settles, it becomes apparent there have been many casualties and Sharpe realises that he is the only person now capable of getting this wagon train to the safety of the next army garrison. Little does Sharpe know that the adventure has only just begun and that he has inadvertently stumbled across a massive opium trafficking ring...

Sharpe's Challenge
Wellington sends Sharpe to India following the news of unrest in the country. Sharpe finds himself tasked with saving a general's daughter and keeping a beautiful scheming woman at arms length.

For Sharpe's Peril, Disc 1 includes the programme in two parts. Part one contains scenes 1-8 and Part two then shows scenes 9 onwards.
Disc 2 actually contains the 100 minute continuous movie version of the same programme plus a selection of special features.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hope and Glory?, 4 Dec 2008
By Mr. C. J. Parker "Kyral" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Allot of people look at this and go on about Sean Bean being much older, the story lines being weaker, and the acting wooden. Well, the new series will never live up to the 'glory' of the old, but lets not be too cruel. These are fun, easy to watch and quite enjoyable films making the best of a hard situation, how to carry on a highly successful series long after the original run of books had ended.

The new stories are effecivly re-writings of the 'new' Sharpe books, which follow the life of Richard Sharpe through India in the time before the Nepolionic wars. Obviously they couldnt follow that line exactly as Sean Bean is older now, so they have placed the stories in a post Nepolionic war India. Like all TV dramas, the stories have been shifted around to fit time and script, but that has always been the case with Sharpe.

If you like period drama and easy watching, then these are great, just dont expect the passion and in depth characters that you remember from the 90's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for everything Sharpe, 23 May 2009
By chuckles "barnie884" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
As a huge Sharpe, Bean and Cornwell fan, was lookimg forward to these to complete my collection. As far as budget, effects and film quality are concerned these are by far and away the best to date. However with an ageing Sharpe and Harper it starts to become a little unconvincing. Sharpe's Peril is based on the 3 Cornwell prequel books, and due to obvious reasons they had to be re-written for an older Sean Bean as they were originally set when Sharpe was in the ranks. I would have preffered 3 movies, but they did a pretty good job. Sharpe's Challenge however I thought lacked a little something. Not written by Cornwell and a pretty old cast, this really lacked a little something for me.....
4 stars overall and a nice complete collection, but time for Sharpe to hang up his cavalry sword and retire in peace... thanks for the memories

3.0 out of 5 stars Is this the end?, 25 Nov 2008
By Paul B Blues "Paul B" (Inverness Scotland) - See all my reviews
Just watched the latest and lets hope it's the last in the series. Wooden actors, wooden plots and some very suspect dialogue. Just what we've come to know and love about Sharpe, but please, no more, let him just fade away into history.
