The French are on the run in Spain. In a last ditch effort to hold onto Spain for Napoleon, Major Ducos engineers a diplomatic incident to split the English-Spanish alliance. Sharpe is at the centre of this incident, accused of impropriety with a Spanish nobleman's wife. Sharpe's life and honour are at stake.
A pretty good episode of Sharpe. Some good intrigue, twists and turns and Machiavellian machinations and some good action scenes. With Obadiah Hakeswill gone Major Ducos is the villain of the piece and a formidable one he is, engineering it so that Sharpe is an enemy of Wellington and the British Army.
Not as good as previous episodes though. Some of the action scenes are quite unrealistic and gung ho and (par for the Sharpe course) some plot developments are clumsy.
Still, it's a rollicking adventure.

9/10.
Sharpe defends what little honour he has been afforded
Sean Bean returns as Napoleonic hero Richard Sharpe in Sharpe's Honour, the fifth movie in the series and as always Patrick Harper and the rest of Sharpes chosen men are all along for the ride, but this time Major Sharpe is in serious trouble.
Under the influence of Sharpe's sworn enemy Major Ducos, a mysterious lady by the name of La Marquesa has accused Sharpe of rape. Her husband arrives at Sharpe's camp to challenge his wife's attacker to a dual.
The dual is discovered and stopped by the authorities, and as a result Sharpe becomes the prime suspect when his opponent is murdered in the middle of the night.
As no-one in the British Army other than Wellington and Major Nairn consider Sharpe anything but a rough commoner with little or no honour, he his given a shambolic trial and is sentenced to death by hanging, and Harper and the chosen men have no choice but to look on as their beloved commander walks slowly to the gallows.
However, convinced of his innocence Wellington and Nairn hang another convicted prisoner in Sharpe's stead and release him and his chosen men to find the real killer and La Marquesa herself, to not only prove his innocence but to find out her reasons for framing him in the first place.
Daragh O'Malley, Micheal Byrne and Hugh Fraser co-star with brilliant performances by Alice Krige as La Marquesa and Féodor Atkine as the villainous Major Ducos, in what is another exciting, swashbuckling instalment through Sharpe's eventful journey through the Napoleonic Wars.
