Rifles Make Ready Episode 2 - Sharpe's Eagle
Sunday, 30 November, 2025

Now that we've established who Sharpe is we can get him into all kinds of fun.Fun like dealing with Sir Henry Simmerson.Simmerson is played expertly by Michael Cochrane. As an aside, Michael Cochrane usually plays posh people of course, but in Wings (the 1977 show about WW1, not the Cheersverse show) he played a REALLY NICE post pilot.It's the Battle of Talavera! I think Ken knows a lot about this. Certainly more than I do anyway.You have to love Major Hogan. Hell, you have to love Arthur Wellesley.Wellesley becomes Wellington in this one.Wait, is one of those dumb young lieutenants Daniel Craig? Yup! As always, the chosen men are amazing, plus we get some Dan Hagman singing.mp3 download
