Referring to the post of July 2001 where Mr Duck says, "Mrs.Duck also speaks highly of Sean Bean in long boots and tight trousers, but that is her foible!" I will add to the discussion that although I am VERY impressed with John Tams in his portrayal of Daniel and his singing which is terrific, and I am also pleased that so much attention was paid to the military correctness of the military uniforms, I have to state categorically that the appeal of the Sharpe videos is that face and those "long boots and tight trousers." It is sex. And, don't tell me that everyone doesn't know this!
