TV

The second episode of Red Riding is out tonight and hopefully will be as good as the first one (and please, maybe a little less creepy? ). I don't know who is starring there, except the guy who plays a corrupt Yorkshire policeman and he makes me laugh a lot, since he is the same guy who played Dalziel. ^^ But, oh God, I don't think I shall be rewatching Sharpe anytime soon: having watched Sean Bean play a creep in the first episode (and play him decently enough to make my brain hurt) I think I'll be just going ouch, ouch Sharpe is a creep. O_o

One a nicer note. Got the 'Whitechapel' DVD (a 3-part series about a modern day Jack the Ripper copycat). Very enjoyable! But then any series that has a pretty Inspector and a mother-hen Sergeant (again played by an actor who gives me the creeps, cause I only saw him in one other movie, where he plays a somewhat disturbed individual) are bound to be liked by me. XD 

Russian Uniforms of Napoleonic Wars.

Here are some pictures of the uniforms of the Russian Army during the period of the Napoleonic Wars from the book  'Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars' by Digby Smith.

 

( Lots of pictures this way. )
