Can someone confirm please as I haven't watched the early Sharpes for a while? Sharpes Justice says that he came from Yorkshire, but was he raised in London? Or is this a clash with the books? Douglasnicol 17:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

From Sharpe (TV series): "There are some differences between the series and the novels. For instance, in the books, Sharpe was born in Wapping in London and had dark hair. Sean Bean however is blond and is from Sheffieldaccent , so the character in the series speaks with a pronounced Sheffield, albeit Sharpe is revealed to be born In Keighley in Sharpes Justice (although in the books, the issue with Sharpe's northern accent and roots has been addressed as having him escape from London to Yorkshire when he was a teenager to avoid vengeance for a murder that he had committed in London)."
