Welcome to the Sharpe guide at TV.com. This is a spectacular drama about the career of a British soldier during the Napoleonic wars. In the first episode, Rifleman Richard Sharpe (played by Sean Bean) saves the life of the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Talavera and is commissioned from the ranks.
