It's interesting how Wellington compares himself to Napoleon, admitting that they are more alike in their values of virtue than people give them credit for.
You're overthinking it: Wellington does not "compare himself" to Bonaparte, he simply means that they are both generals -- leaders of armies. Such men have different responsibilities, and have got where they are by virtue of a greater understanding of men.
@@kathrynwhitby9799 I think that David Troughton's Wellington was much more open and visceral, more shouty and aggressive, but also more openly happy and joyful - his emotions were much more on display. Hugh Fraser's Wellington, on the other hand, has a cold anger about him. He's matter of fact, to the point, more reserved. Not sure which is more accurate to the man, though - possibly Troughton's depiction, actually, given what we know of Wellington.
This is 1812 and the Conservative Party wasn't founded until 1834, so no. If you mean the actual Tory Party, they had ceased to be an major force in British politics in the 1760s.
I wish all of Sharpe was just this stuff. Instead, it also tried to be a historical battle show but didn't have the budget for it at all lol Each season is basically a two part movie. With only like 30 minutes in each season actually worth watching. It did political drama really well due to having a super strong cast of actors The budget was waning hard towards the end. They tried to do a season in India and any sense of historical accuracy was thrown out the window lol. Everything before that at least attempted to make it a believeable historical fiction. The Napoleonic Wars did end up in India but the way they showed it off was laughably bad
