"On sighting Lady Carmoyle entering the room, I naturally remained lounging on the windowsill; that's my style sir."

The acting in this was amazing, but the scene in the book was even better. Sharp demands that Sir Henry simerson remove the colors from his home, and the general has a fit when he finds out they were there in the first place.

I swear the casting for Simmerson was perfect. You almost can’t imagine Sharpe without him having to contend with Simmerson.

The actor who plays Simmerson is excellent. I love how he emotes through spluttering and grunting.

I like how Camoynes has to politely push Sharpe into asking for what he wants. Dude has no problem fighting a hopeless battle against french hordes. But maneuvering through the treacherous waters of court politics? Hopeless.

Sir Henry's cousin at Horse Guards has yet to make an appearance

Lady Camoynes was always my favourite. Beauty and brains is a deadly combination.

Literally the only woman in the Sharpe series to save him (excluding the one who helped heal him) and Sharpe passed her up for the spawn of Simmerson.

I’d like to pay tribute to the actors that are playing the parts of the villains here and congratulate them on doing such brilliant jobs of making their screen personas so unlikable . It’s easy to fall in love with the hero of a show like this but if the actors playing the bad guys weren’t at the top of their game then you wouldn’t hate them as much as you do.

"Please don't get up, Sir Henry." Only now did I catch that.

Lady Camoynes is drop dead gorgeous ..... and deadly as an enemy.

I love how the smug looks are wiped away from their faces. You would've thought that Simmerson would've learned his lesson about trying to outdo Sharpe yet he just keeps on forcing his foot in his mouth further each time.

"Please- don't get up, Sir Henry" is hilarious double entendre!

I noticed when Sharpe wanted Girdword to be sent to Spain instead of being able to resign his commission, Fenner looks like he actually chuckles there for a half-second. "That poor man..." sort of thing.

Great show... love that Sean Bean actually survived it.

From the people who brought you Now That's What I Call Soldiering!, it's Now That's What I Call Soldiering, Volume 2! Packed with all the latest soldiering hits including: *Confronting the War Secretary Without Evidence, But Evidence Shows Up Anyway *Crashing the Prince of Wales' Party *Going Undercover to Investigate a Crimping Conspiracy *Arresting Your Superior Officer On False Authority *Stopping a Recruit From Deserting, But the Sergeant Murders Him *Proposing Marriage to Your Mortal Enemy's Niece *AND MUCH MORE! So don't delay! Send your footman to buy today!

Demanding to serve under an incompetent superior officer and refusing to let him resign his commission before setting sail to Spain . . . That's not merely soldiering, but clever bastardry.

The look on Fenner’s face when lady Camoyne pulls out the ledger is priceless! lol 😂

Pissing off fred Elliot in full uniform. Now that’s soldiering

i dont know how many times i watched this video the last few months. Brilliant acting, brilliant dialogue and excellent directoring.

"I sit like I was POURED, SIR!!" got a laugh from me, not sure why

Uploading a clip from Sharpe to make my day Now that's soldiering

a true masterclass in acting and getting into character Fenner did an amazing job

I just came for the “I SIT LIKE I WAS POURED, SIR!”

I wish they'd developed the character of Lady Camoynes a bit more. She's just about the only woman with any real character in the whole thing.

I love the way Lady Camoynes roasts people

Just at the end of this scene, the general looks at Sharpe and says; "You told the truth sir?" Well of course he did! He's an officer in His Majesty's army, isn't that a minimum requirement of the job?????

"Damn it, Sharpe, the rat is in the bottle; no one else will do!!" Splendid writing!!! Hail Sharpe!!!

5:04 “But the price I would expect from you would have your shirt off your back long before come to bed time.” *ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE!*

Taking rapid notes in the corner during a Kangaroo Court, now thats not soldiering.

British television at it's finest, right up there with Horatio Hornblower, Downton Abbey and Sherlock. It's heads and tails better than most of the tripe we have in America, with few exceptions.

The elegant Caroline Langrishe puts one over Sir Henry Simmerson and another over Lord Fenner - that's supporting!

Michael Cochrane as Sir Henry and Nicholas Farrell as Lord Fenner are both delightful in real life and brilliant at playing villains.

Following Wellingtons orders no matter what? Now thats soldering!

Sitting like you've been poured, now that's Generaling.

it would've been cool to see a Sharpe episode where he's in Australia commanding a convict guard.

This episode was my favorite of the sharpe series by far.

I don't think, I've ever seen this bit? But, it was bloody marvelous. It's a shame, in today's world, this would go right over most people's heads.

"Few Can." And I suspect worth every penny!

5:04 why does it hurt 1000x more coming from a well-dressed and dignified lady with icy blue eyes? i'd almost felt sorry for sir henry had i not known he bloody deserved it.

Getting Fred from Coronation Street - that's casting.

5:08 "You can't afford her Simmerson". A good beginning for a "Stay in School, Be Studious and Get Rich" campaign to be presented to the local school board.

Prepare for the onslaught of comments attaining to the level of beauty that Lady Camoynes is of

i love the fact they used a big horse and carriage folley sound to cover the vehicle traffic noise outside the windows. Still one of the best scenes from sharpe.

Colonel Girdwood shall retain his command?? Flashback* “A bad officer is better off dead, and a good soldier had better learn how to kill him.”

I don't know how this showed up on my feed but I'm obsessed now

Big Fred Elliott rocking a General's uniform. 👍

Love Simmersons disgruntled growl (1.30 and 5.08). LMAO!

Best dialog & screenwriting of the 80's

I'm new to the series. The acting is quite splended! Transports me to a place and time I never knew, but am now quite intrigued by. . Carry on, Thorpe. Carry on, indeed.

Just here for 'now thats soldiering' comments.

This is probably my favorite scene in the Sharpe’s series. 😁

Sean Bean should have married Caroline Langrishe, too, rather than Abigail Cruttenden. Would probably have worked out much more favourably than hooking up with the latter.

Great scene. Love watching it time and again. It's awesome.

I love how delicate Lady Carmoyle was in saying "I'm blackmailing all of you" softly after all of them yelling, lol!

0:47 we interupt this scene to bring a xenomorph in human skin

'Every word' A lady and a ledger later 'get out and gimme those notes!'

The silence is deafening after Lady Anne reveals the missing ledger, you can almost hear Lord Fenner's bowels start to evacuate.

It is perhaps testament to Michael Cochrane's acting that I find Simmerson an utterly detestable fool of a man. Simmerson has pride where his honour should be, self preservation where his bravery should be, and for all the value he places upon being a gentleman, he is perhaps the most unworthy of the title that I can think of.

Outsmarting everyone while they are smitten by your charm. Now that's Ladying.

"I sit like I was POURED, sir!" So many great lines.

“Do please present me, Simon.” “My dear Anne, I am engaged on the business of state.” “INTRODUCE ME.”

Is it just me, or does anyone else think 'Sharpes Kangaroos' would have been an interesting show?

Lady Comoynes would have been a great wife for Sharpe. She could have watched his back at home while he was winning a fortune for them in Spain.

Achievement Earned: *Uno Reverse*

Sir Barston sounds like they’re going to say “Sir Bastard ,” every time lolz 😂.

You would think he might ask for a promotion too, given how hard it was for him to be promoted at all.

The general in this scene is hilarious. "I sir like I was *poured,* sir!

Sir Henry should have read Rifleman Harris' Voltaire and tended his own garden.

The title says Sharpe & Lady Camoynes take down Fenner. The reality is Lady Camoynes takes down Fenner and save Sharpe's ass in the process.

Reading the comments first before watching the clip just for "Now That's Soldiering" comments. Now that's comment soldiering!!!

Wonder who came up with simmerson grunt? Really adds to the character imo

-Your wife is here -I have no wife How many will relate to this in the comments?

It’s amazing how Sharpe always wins, no matter how many of his superiors stand in his way.

Recognize the actor playing Lord Fenner is Farrell t--he young friend of Harold Abrahamson in "Chariots of Fire"

Oh that look on Lord Fenner's and Sir Henry's faces when she turns up with the evidence of their wrong doings is priceless lol

Not knowing what the word 'request' means? Now that's soldiering.

"I insist this is done properly. I say I insist this is done properly!"

Dutifully perpetuating the legacy of Major Septimus Pyecroft in the comments section, now that's youtubing

the sharpe series and hornblower series are the best dramas ever [plus band of brothers]

He sure stood up quick when she brought out the ledger🤣

"Introduce me!" - In that moment I fell in love. :)

The House of Stark take down Lord Fenner, who doesn't realize that this is a Game of Thrones.

Rest In Peace John Savident. Thank you for your amusement as Fred Elliott

She is a real doll!

What makes Sharpe interesting is that Cornwell no doubt did his research

Literally just watch these old Sharpe clips for the comments 😂

Still managing to get in a dig against Sir Henry Simmerson after your evil scheme has been rumbled and Lady Anne has turned the tables on you .... now that’s Fennering.

Love this :) . And I have the entire series on CD. How strange is that ?

Then simmerson left the army and changed his name to Oliver stirling and moved to ambridge, before that he had the name of Cranleigh and loved the game of cricket,

Lady Camoynes is bad ass!

Love this show and omg double release today

I should really watch that serie again.

Upload more often please

Refraining from making a soldiering comment, now that's soldiering.

So I was wondering, why does Sir Barston react like he does in 1:26 when Sir Henry is talking smack about prior enlisted officers? Was he enlisted too?

Having a room of high ranking "gentlemen" over a barrel and only asking for what your superior officer (Wellington) wants, enough men to continue the fight and a return trip to that fight? Now, that's soldiering.

General Sir Barston Maxwell was promoted from the ranks? That seems to be the implication in his response to Simmerson’s “you get dross from dross” speech.

I sit like I was POURED SIR....

What a lady!
