Sean Bean, who may be best known for playing Boromir in the Lord of the Rings (official site & IMDb), stars with Daragh O'Malley in this series, part of which, Sharpe's Gold, originally ran on British television (ITV) starting in 1993 (Wikipedia). It is "loosely based" on historical novels that Bernard Cornwell published from 1981 onward.I've started watching Sharpe's Rifles (DVD, 1993), which recently came to the fore in local video shops. I can hardly wait to lay eyes on the next one! Granted, my reading speed can hardly keep up with the Japanese sub-titles, but it's fun to try.
This Mr. Bean stars as a fictional soldier who became an officer for bravery in the field during the Napleonic Wars (1804-1815). There's romance, of course, an official Sharpe website with "images, "stories, trailers" and more, plus lots of info. and links to explore on Wikipedia. Check it out!
