Hornblower

Newly promoted Captain Horatio Hornblower sets out to make his mark on the world, and soon manages to capture his first enemy vessel - only to discover a peace treaty has been signed, leaving him down and out, with barely a penny to his name. Fate seems to smile on the ambitious seafarer though, when he discovers the villainous Bonaparte has reneged on the treaty. Drama based on the CS Forester novels, starring Ioan Gruffudd, Robert Lindsay, Paul McGann, Greg Wise, Lorcan Cranitch and Julia Sawalha.
