Trivia:

Tony Haygarth becomes the first actor to portray two different leading "baddies" in the series. His first outing was in Sharpe's Enemy (1995) when he played the leader of the French deserters Pot-au Feu. He was the only one to do so until 2006. Peter-Hugo Daly, who had played the treacherous Sgt. Rodd in "Sharpe's Gold", played the equally unlikeable Sgt. Bickerstaff.

What where they thinking?

A nonsensical plot about evil Mill Owners in Yorkshire made worse by some contrived rubbish about a long-lost brother. The series had already gone into a huge decline after the excellent first and second seasons but hits rock bottom here.

Avoid - at all costs.
