	Date: 01 Feb, 2004  Venue: THE HISTORY CHANNEL'S SHARPE'S WAR The four-part series, Sharpe's War, was initially shown on The History Channel (in England) in November 2003 and was repeated in 2005. The four parts are: Napoleon's First Mistake To The Lines of Torres Vedra The Spanish Ulcer Over the Pyrenees The picture shows me pontificating at 'Craufurd's Bridge' - the crossing of the Coa where the Light Division was surprised by an overwhelming French force and not only survived, but managed to repulse the French attack which ended in carnage on the bridge itself. The series is not yet available in video or DVD, but if and when it does becomes available, we will provide details on how to obtain it.
