    Dave, there’s a 15th Sharpe, Sharpe’s Challenge, aired in 2006. And if you want to see the next one go into production, join the campaign to get Sharpe’s Peril into production. It’s hit budget problems due to the drive to wipe out intelligent telly and replace it with crap reality programming and insipid sitcoms.

    Great news about Sharpe’s Peril-thanks for posting the petition link. I’d put the Sharpes at #1, though. ;)
    Thanks for the vid!
