A gypsy girl recognises Brand as being in a secret meeting with the French and killing her family..
This episode was not based on a Bernard Cornwell book. It is a new original story but fits in fine and is just as good as the others in the series. |
I finished Sharpe myself a fortnight ago and never realised
Sharpe's Mission wasn't based on a Cornwell book.
Unlike
Sharpe's Justice which was obvious that it was a quickie to fill up the episode quotas. It was still enjoyable but didn't move the story along at all and if it was removed from the series you'd never know. However it was interesting that Sharpe returned home and home was less than ten miles from me... i thought it would have been south Yorkshire, as in Sheffield.
