    Many PBS stations are airing Sharpe's Challenge on this coming Sunday's Masterpiece Classic. This aired last year on BBC America. Next week will be Sharpe's Peril which has not been on in the US. Peril is supposed to be better than Challenge.

    All you Sharpe fans, Sharpe's Peril and Sharpe's Challenge are scheduled to air on Masterpiece Classic in early 2010 on PBS.

    It took off with me. It started on Masterpiece Theater but it's price was too high so they stopped carrying it. Some of it ran on the History Channel and finally the entire series ran on BBC America two years ago leading up to the new episode, Sharpe's Challenge. They are just about to start filming yet another episode in India, Sharpe's Peril.

    Sean Bean and Daragh O'Malley are terrific. Daniel Craig is one of the early episode. it was before he was good looking.

    I've read the entire series of books by Bernard Cornwall. I liked them, too.
