Sharpe is a British television series of stories starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, a fictional British soldier in the Napoleonic Wars, with Irish actor Daragh O'Malley playing his sidekick Patrick Harper. Sharpe and Harper are the heroes of a number of novels by Bernard Cornwell. The series originally ran from 1993 to 1997.

In 2006, ITV premiered Sharpe's Challenge, a two-part TV film adventure set in 1817. It is loosely based on his time in India, two years after Sharpe has retired as a farmer in Normandy.

In Sharpe's Challenge and Sharpe's Peril, Sharpe and his comrade in arms, Patrick Harper, have been temporarily called out of retirement and asked to go to India.
