Hi Bernard, I’ve just read in the paper this morning that ITV are to film a new Sharpe adventure, Sean Bean is keen to do it and it will be set in India. Are you aware of it? Do you have anymore details? Regards Ed

Dear Mr Cornwell, I have just read in this morings paper that Sean Bean will be reprising his role as Sharpe in a new episode set in India, is this true or just a rumour, and secondly do you know if they are making it will be a prequal like the books, or someone rewritting history to set it after Waterloo to avoid confusing people??

Can you give us any more info? I read on itv teletext that they are going to make a film of Sharpes Tiger with Sean Bean. How will they promote Sharpe from the ranks? As they did it in Sharpe’s Rifles for tv and how can itv get a “young” Sean Bean? Ian Winter
