Winston's post here TMP link made me think it might be good to prepare a drinking game for the day the Sharpe series is on Netflix.

What do you think would be appropriate?

O'er the Hills and Faraway is played – drink
Sharpe stresses his unit are chosen men – drink
Somebody talks about how blessed the Irish are – drink

What else?

Officer is an out of touch aristocrat? Drink

Sharpe gets wounded – drink.
Sharpe gets insulted by an aristocrat – drink.
French stand out in the open during a skirmish to be shot – drink.
Hagman sings or says something philosophical – drink.

I knew there was a reason to watch these programmes again!

fire three times a minute – drink

Timbo W26 Apr 2017 10:24 a.m. PST

Every new occurrence of a different silly hat – drink!

Eleven blokes are referred to as 'a battalion' – drink!

Sharp gets promoted – drink!

M C MonkeyDew26 Apr 2017 10:54 a.m. PST

Dan begins to sing anything.

Brian Smaller26 Apr 2017 1:36 p.m. PST

Harris reads or quotes from "Candide"

Brian Smaller26 Apr 2017 1:37 p.m. PST

Looking at that list I for one am pissed as a newt after the first fifteen minutes of almost any episode.

Supercilius Maximus26 Apr 2017 2:08 p.m. PST

I found the books bad enough, I'd need to be drunk to even start to watch the programmes.

Grignotage26 Apr 2017 2:34 p.m. PST

Is Sharpe defending or attacking a fort? Drink

Liz Hurley stripped to the waist.

OK only one drink. Sadly only happened once. One of the great moments in TV.

But it deserves one very large drink really…..

John Miller26 Apr 2017 5:51 p.m. PST

"Liz Hurley stripped to the waist", that's one episode of Sharpe I am truly sorry I missed, drunk or sober!! John Miller

This is the funniest thread I've read in months. Thanks, guys.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP27 Apr 2017 12:07 a.m. PST

Every time Sharpe is a blond Yorkshireman instead of dark haired Londoner he should be (also called the suicide game)

Winston Smith28 Apr 2017 6:37 a.m. PST

This is why I need to get the series FREE on streaming something or other.
I have a case of beer and some free time.

willlucv28 Apr 2017 6:38 a.m. PST

Every time the same extra gets shot or hit by artillery fire during an advance… Drink

Those sixteen extras in Waterloo really earned their fifty quid a day.

Captain Gideon28 Apr 2017 7:32 a.m. PST

For me this is good in two ways:

1.I hate Sharpe(watched it but hated the show)

2.I don't drink never have and never will.

thedisgruntledfusilier28 Apr 2017 8:02 a.m. PST

+1 for taking a drink when Sharpe says "ba**ard"
