Somehow I just knew that Marshal M would be that grumpy old curmudgeon Pellew!

I'm a tad surprised that an undisciplined tosspot like me gleaned...

Sir Edward Pellew

Hornblower is who I strive to be, comming up short. My dad gave me "Midshipman Hornblower" when I was 13, and I instantly felt empathy with that character. I couldn't be a Bush to Hornblower, it isn't me.

Here's a list of positive characters, off the top of my head:

1 - Hornblower
2- Pellew
3- Cornwallis
4- Bracegirdle
5- Bush
6- Gerard
7- Brown
8- The Count
9- Welland
10- Boland
11- Sharpe
12- Barbara
13- Maria

Of all the principal characters, in the TV series, Sir Edward Pellew -later Lord Exmouth- is the only real one.

And doesn't Robert Lindsay do an excellent portrayal. ?

C.S.Forrester set the bar for an entire genre of Napoleonic War naval writers.

He did an excellent job,as did Gruffudd. I missed Archie when he died. I thought he was good.

I still have a penchant for the older movie 'Captain Horation Hornblower' with Gregory Peck-it was just on again-great movie.

I'd forgotten the distaff side.

There was the Duchess of Wharfedale (Cherie Lunghi), even mother-in-Law Mrs Mason (Barbara Flynn) and wife, Maria (Julia Sawalha): -fine wenches all.

It will be noted that the last two were portrayed in the TV series as far more attractive than their originals in the C.S.Forrester novels.
