Hard to choose. You have to love Sharpe and Harper, but my favourite is Rifleman Harris (a.k.a. Jason Salkey as he is a personal friend of mine)!! |

Rifleman Harris is one of my favourites as well. Harper, the long suffering sergeant, watching Sharpe get them into ever tougher situations. Michael Hogan was very good. |

Sweet William the KGL officer with the wooden teeth. |

Brian Cox. definitely and Assumpta Serna, of course. Couldn't stand the Hakeswill character in either the books or the films. |

In the films Peter Postlethwaite as Sgt Obidiah Hakeswill. In the books Sgt. Harper who was much more developed than in the films. |

I liked Riflemen Harris (Jason Salkey) and Hagman (John Tams), though one had to admire Peter Postlethwaite for bringing the OTT – almost Dickensian – grotesque Hakeswill to life. I presume Cornwell was indulging in a joke by making Harris a 'gentleman ranker' who was cultured and literate, when the real Rifleman Benjamin Harris, whose memoirs have often been reprinted, was an illiterate Dorset shepherd who dictated his recollections to Major Henry Curling, a half-pay officer. |

one had to admire Peter Postlethwaite for bringing the OTT – almost Dickensian – grotesque Hakeswill to life. Indeed, without a Hakeswill to contrast our Sharpe, quite a boring series!! |

Liz Hurley when she'd got her kit off and Richard Sharpe presented his "compliments m'am", as she faced him, long before she was famous, but in all her glory….well much of it anyway………. OK, one episode only….but memorable |

Brian Cox as Major Michael Hogan – He should have been the intelligence officer in every episode. Patrick Harper. Female Assumpta Serna |

Brian Cox as Hogan. Pity that he only did two episodes but Hollywood beckoned. Hugh Fraser as Wellington. Daniel Craig in a pre-Bond role as a villain in Sharpe's Eagle. |
| Hagman | 17 May 2017 12:42 p.m. PST |
Not so much Hollywood beckoning – Brian Cox apparently didn't continue beyond the first 2 episodes because he loathed the austere filming conditions in the Crimea. |
