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.
