Horatio Hornblower	comment	Hornblower is the umbrella title of a series of television drama programmes based on C. S. Forester's novels about the fictional character Horatio Hornblower, a Royal Naval officer during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The series, which ran from 1998 to 2003, stars Ioan Gruffudd in the title role and is produced by the British broadcaster Meridian Television, and shown on ITV in the UK and A&E in the US.The series consists of eight made-for-television movies, which are notable for their high production values. In the US, the series was retitled Horatio Hornblower, and some of the episodes were known by different titles. The eight movies cover the events of just three novels (Mr. Midshipman Hornblower, Lieutenant Hornblower, and Hornblower and the Hotspur), and various alterations and additions are made to the source material.Ioan Gruffudd has expressed a wish to continue with his portrayal of Horatio Hornblower and have Hornblower's entire life and career covered by one actor. He even attempted to bring the show to the silver screen, but so far, the project seems to be in Development Hell.The episodes of the Series:Series One (1998-1999) "The Even Chance" (AKA "The Duel"): Midshipman Horatio Hornblower is given his first assignment in the Royal Navy, where he quickly draws the ire of his immediate superior "The Examination for Lieutenant" (AKA "The Fire Ships"): Acting-Lieutenant Hornblower must prepare for his exam while dealing with a supply shortage and the plague. "The Duchess and the Devil": Hornblower is captured by the Spanish, befriends a Duchess, and reunites with an old crewmate. "The Frogs and the Lobsters" (AKA "The Wrong War"): Freshly-minted Lieutenant Hornblower and the Indefatigable are assigned on a mission to restore the French monarchy, a mission which could be doomed from the start.Series Two (2001) "Mutiny": Hornblower, on trial for mutiny, recounts the events which lead to the insane Captain Sawyer being removed from command. "Retribution": The trial continues with the account of an attack on Spanish privateers and a prisoner mutiny, but if Hornblower's name is to be cleared, it will come at great cost.Series Three (2003) "Loyalty": The Peace of Amiens reduces Hornblower to poverty, but he reunites with his friend Bush and gets a new ship to keep an eye on the French. "Duty": Hornblower discovers that Irish spies in the Navy are plotting to free their country... with the help of Napoleon.

The British Royal Navy tries to use it to their advantage because there is a nest of Spanish privateers menacing their trade in Samana Bay. Their goal is to get control of the Spanish fort and capture their ships. It turns out the fort is really under siege by the rebel slave army and the rebels also kill British deserters because they took them for Spanish.

The first hint of this comes in "The Duel" (AKA "The Even Chance") after boarding a French ship and running up to Horatio afterwards to babble about how he "killed two! Well, one, certainly!" It's not always obvious in the earlier instalments due to the suffering he endures throughout, but by the second series, he's no less adorable but exponentially more badass. This includes helping Horatio blow up forts and shooting an enemy soldier off a tower from about a hundred yards away by a flintlock pistol. Have a look at the pic◊.

The prisoner who is being punished is put in a small oubliette where he cannot lie or stand and where he is exposed to hot weather, cold air or rain. Archie discussed the effects it had on him with Hoaratio. After he got out, he couldn't walk for a month and it completely broke his spirits. Horatio is tortured the way Archie was. He suffers terribly, and in addition, he's freaked out by a rat that comes to give him company.

Horatio Hornblower / int_18dd6739	comment	Dressing as the Enemy: Horatio used this technique several times in Series One. He sailed under a false flag and deliberately forbade to change it, dressed himself and his men in foreign uniforms or pretended to belong to a jolly boat of the ship they were boarding. Sometimes characters call him on it, both British and the enemies, and a French captain lampshades that he plays the rules of war quite loosely. He answers that he plays them to win.

Archie keeps saying "H'ratio" a lot as well, especially in "Mutiny" and "Retribution". Even when Horatio and he are alone. It's kind of possessive and very sweet.

(Kennedy however is not so keen on escaping, because he tried five times and always got caught and punished.) Hunter convinces about half of the men to try to escape under his lead. However, his plan involves attacking fully armed guards with their improvised weapons in full sunlight rather than avoiding them and going unnoticed and their escape attempt fails miserably.

Horatio Hornblower / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: In the second series, Hornblower tries feebly to pass off his sea sickness as being food poisoning due to a bad egg at breakfast. In the book the movie is based on, Hornblower and the Hotspur, Hornblower's mother-in-law evidently went cheap on him while shopping for provisions, and he received batch of eggs that were halfway to being chicks already. Squicky. Narrating the Obvious: The series was sometimes guilty of this trope, especially in the first instalment. For instance, in "The Even Chance" Styles thanks Mr Hornblower and salutes him. Hornblower realizes his men start to respect him and feels a sudden urge to state out loud what Styles just did: "A salute! Well, that's a start, I suppose." Later, when transporting a cargo of cattle, Horatio comments on the stench. Matthews explains the beasts â€œHavenâ€™t got the sense to put their rear ends over the side,â€� as if the audience couldnâ€™t figure that out.

Horatio Hornblower / int_29ad1d69	comment	Facial Dialogue: In "Mutiny" and "Retribution", many characters exchange significant looks when they cannot talk freely. It heavily overlaps with Meaningful Look, but some of the conveyed messages were rather complex. Hornblower signals to 1st Lt. Buckland that he shouldn't interfere with crazy Captain Sawyer and that he should carry out his order to arrest all the other lieutenants, him including. Their Spanish prisoners, Senor and Senora Ortega share a worried look after they were forced to the unconditional surrender. We later find out its meaning. He wanted her to pull The Vamp and Femme Fatale, and she obliged. She pretended she was interested in having sex and killed one stupid Red Shirt, and the Spanish prisoners took over the ship.

It's heart-breaking when Captain Sawyer starts picking on him and keeps having him severely beaten, completely unjustly.

Horatio Hornblower / int_51c7574c	comment	Hornblower realizes too late that the Marie Galant, a French prize ship that he's been put in command of has been holed and is taking on water. They first feather a sail to use as a patch to cover the hole and keep more water from coming in, and then they begin slinging the cargo of rice overboard; the water was causing the rice to expand, splitting the ship apart from the inside. Ultimately, they are forced to Abandon Ship.

He calls him "a gin-soaked sot," and Clayton is truly more often than not seen with alcohol in his hands and taking a swig, looking as miserable as any of the midshipmen. Considering he has to live with Simpson, this isn't at all surprising. (Surprising may be the fact that he has his supply of alcohol, because Simpson is known to be taking everyone's issues of spirits.) At the end of "Retribution", Buckland is getting ready to do so as well. He's seen taking a much needed freaking drink and caught sleeping with a bottle. Then later he just watches as the wine he's pouring overflows the glass and runs off the table.

Horatio Hornblower / int_5a29f9f6	comment	Sinking Ship Scenario: Marie Gallante, a French supply ship, is damaged by a cannon ball during her capture by the Indefatigable. Hornblower is assigned to take her to an English port. When he realizes the ship is holed, he tries to do some damage control, but he's unable to save her. The ship sinks and his crew of four men and their French prisoners must abandon the ship and sail in a small boat. Justinian, British ship of the line, is destroyed off-screen by Papillon, a French ship of war and sinks. The crew from the "Indy" are sent to pick up survivors. Captain "Dreadnought" Foster takes command of a supply ship with two small rail guns and attempts to do battle with a Spanish frigate. He manages to deprive the Spanish of their supplies and he prevents them from taking the British supplies, but their schooner (with said supplied) is wrecked and most of the crew do not survive. Foster does survive and thinks he did the best thing he could. Spanish ship Almeria is chased by "Indy" inshore in a big storm and founders on the rocky shoals. Hornblower persuades his prison guard Don Massaredo to give him his parole and lets him launch a rescue boat to save the crew. Captain Bracegirdle loses his ship Grasshopper in "Duty". He survives, but has lost his ship and his crew and is just a shell of a man he used to be.

The French sailors are drunk, and Styles somewhat envies them and wishes they were just as happy. Hornblower is not pleased and forces him to put the bottle down. Played With in the second episode of series one called "The Examination for Lieutenant", also known as "The Fire Ships". One seaman is jerking around like a plague victim, and all the rest of the crew are terrified of him because they are aboard of a quarantined ship. Hornblower coolly walks up to him, grabs him by the shoulders and smells his breath. Sure enough, he's drunk. In "Mutiny", Captain Sawyer grants several times double rum and a day off for the whole crew, which does not enhance the crew's morale and their loyalty but rather makes them incompetent and unable to cope with their duties. Doctor Clive, the only person who might pronounce him unfit for command, is drunk as any of them. In "Retribution", Acting Captain Buckland who, sadly, was not born to lead, deals with his unenviable situation by shots of alcohol and then continues to drown his sorrows.

That means finding someone else to blame for the misadventures of the Renown. Although Captain Collins is actually after the truth, Hammond settles on the "scapegoat" solution immediately and Pellew (though more honestly motivated) devotes a lot of energy into ensuring that scapegoat isn't Horatio. Notably, the inquiry effectively ends after Kennedy steps forward and confesses to pushing Sawyer, and all the other questions raised are left to lie.

Hornblower does his best to keep the crew from thinking that they are dead men walking, but after preventing them from pushing an "infected" man over the side by smelling his breath and concluding he's drunk, Hornblower notes that it was hardly a brave act—if it had been plague, then he was doomed whether he was close enough to smell the man's breath or not.

Lieutenants and best pals Horatio Hornblower and Archie Kennedy exchange lots of Meaningful Looks which express their dissatisfaction with the situation on their ship, commanded by paranoid and mentally unstable captain. They understand each other without words. Styles and Matthews share a worried look when Captain Sawyer assigns Hornblower to serve 36 hours of continuous watch, and reminds him that when an officer is found asleep on watch, it means a death sentence. In the second part, "Retribution", Lt. Bush joins Hornblower and Kennedy in the fun. They start trading the looks which express their annoyance with Acting Captain Buckland's incompetence and his lack of commanding abilities. During one scene at the court, everybody looks silently at Gunner Hobbs. They believe that his testimony will be crucial and reveal what happens on the ship and who pushed the captain down the hatchway.

Horatio Hornblower / int_6eb4e408	comment	Artistic License â€“ Military: The literal False Flag Operation from the first episode. Hornblower's insistence on opening fire without first running down the French colors is treated as an intelligent bit of Guile Heroics, but in reality, Mr. Bowles would have been in the right for pointing out the Articles of War. Sailing under false colors to sneak up to enemy ships was legal (in one novel, Hornblower has a French tricolor made for this purpose) but actually attacking under them was not—you had to change to your true colors before opening fire, and doing otherwise was a serious crime.

For instance, in one scene we see the Marquis to return to his old residence to find it looted and used as a storage and a ruin, as well as his priceless art collection used as firewood. The next moment he is on the town square, happily executing town officials and residents, who were all former peasants who were finally granted a social upgrade through republicanism. Mariette points it out by saying that the guillotine is the true lord and master in France, and that both the royalist and republican armies are the same.

Horatio Hornblower / int_73862625	comment	Setting As Acharacter: Most ships in the series. It helps that in English ships are referred to with a feminine pronoun "she" despite being inanimate objects. They have feminine presence and should offer protection to those who serve on them. HMS Justinian, also known as "Slough of Despond" according to Archie Kennedy. She's stationed at Spithead and is as idle as her crew, and slowly dying in the same way her old frail captain Keene is dying. Her midshipmen are tormented by a nasty bully. Her lieutenants are not effective authority figures. Her hands are ill-disciplined. Something is rotten aboard the ship... and Archie points out she reeks in his introductory Motor Mouth monologue. "Difficult to say who smells the worst, the men or the beasts in the manger forward." HMS Indefatigable is a frigate and the best loved, coolest ship in the series, captained by fatherly Sir Edward Pellew. Her sailors are extremely proud to be serving aboard her and call her affectionately "Indy" or "the bloody Indy". She kicks some serious ass and has many Big Damn Heroes moments when she saves those in need. HMS Renown is a 74-gun ship of the line. The atmosphere aboard Renown is very tense because she's captained by crazy Captain Sawyer. When Sawyer's paranoia and madness peak, it's mirrored by her being aground and under gunfire from a Spanish fort. Power Trio of lieutenants Hornblower, Bush and Kennedy take matters in their hands and manage to refloat her. The Renown is also very much loved. Even Wellard, who suffered the most in Sawyer's hands, cheers when he spots her as she's sailing to help them when they try to capture the Spanish ships. HMS Hotspur is Hornblower's sloop and his second command in "Loyalty" and "Duty". She's a mere small sloop of war and not as flashy as frigates or ships of the line. However, with her stellar captain she manages to do many daring deeds and her First Lieutenant Mr Bush calls her "a fine ship".

Horatio Hornblower / int_77c0952e	comment	Face Your Fears: A straight example in "The Even Chance". After thoroughly establishing his terror of heights in the first part, Hornblower finds himself having to loose the sails on the Papillon in the dark with no footropes. (They find out there are no footropes because a sailor jumps out and promptly falls to his death.) After a few moments of standing there in terror, Hornblower quickly runs out along the yardarm going "damn, damn, damn!" while the music switches to the action leitmotif. Later in "The Frogs and the Lobsters", he climbs atop of the mast for no particular reason other than enjoy the sail, and he smiles and looks fairly happy. In "Retribution", he volunteers himself to descend from a high cliff. However, when his friend mischievously reminds him of his former anxiety, he says that nothing has changed and that he's still frightened.

Horatio Hornblower / int_7919a45b	comment	Duel to the Death: The first episode (as the American title subtly hints) features Horatio's duel with Jack Simpson. His "even chance" here cuts out the business with an unloaded gun; it's solely the fact that he considers death in the duel to be "even" with killing Simpson, so miserable is living with him. Clayton keeps him out of the first duel, but Simpson issues a second challenge when Horatio accuses him of Unfriendly Fire. In "The Examination for Lieutenant," Foster accuses Hammond of deliberately hanging back in the longboat rather than following the fire ship to pick up him and Hornblower. Hammond calls it an insulting remark; Foster congratulates him on his perspicacity. It escalates until Hammond roars that he will duel Foster at first light. (Neither duel nor outcome is depicted. Although Hammond appears later, it was common enough for duels to end without anyone dying.)

In "The Duchess and the Devil", delirious Archie quotes an extract from Antony and Cleopatra. In "Mutiny", Captain Sawyer quotes "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" from Henry IV, Part 2. In "Retribution", Lieutenant Kennedy reports the result of Mr Bush's shot on a Spanish ship by shouting "A hit, a hit, a palpable hit!" paraphrasing Osric's "a hit, a very palpable hit" from Hamlet.

Captain Pellew likes this "speech pattern", and it is even more popular in Fan Fiction for his character. He delivers a memorable repeated one liner, lampshading his Improbable Aiming Skills when he shoots Simpson. When Horatio returns to the "Indy" after his successful capture of Papillon and saving them from French corvettes, Pellew welcomes him with this: In "Mutiny", Mr Bush seems unable NOT to mention Mr Wellard in front of the captain. Even though every time he mentions his name, Sawyer remembers Wellard is his new whipping boy.

Horatio Hornblower / int_93520e35	type	Plucky Middie
Horatio Hornblower / int_93520e35	comment	Plucky Middie: There are many midshipmen in the series, and some of them are Played Straight, others are Played With as not all of them are very young or extraordinarily plucky. The youngest middies who appear on the show are teen-aged. There are also some rather old midshipmen who did not advanced in their ranks. War Is Hell, and unfortunately, a lot of them die, no matter how endearing to the audience they are. Horatio is a midshipman in the first two episodes. He has hard time adjusting to life at sea and people comment that he's quite old to start his naval career, but he proves himself a fine officer. Sealing a French frigate and commanding it in a battle to rescue the Indefatigable? Boarding a freaking fire ship? Pretty damn plucky. Clayton is a young Midshipman and he is rather brave, trying to deal with their tormentor as well as he can. However, we never see him in war. Archie says it was always a dream for Clayton to serve aboard a ship like the Indefatigable. Archie is very young and very go-hung in "The Even Chance", anxious to be in war and fight the enemy. He has some doubts about himself and questions if he's commanding material, but he's too hard on himself and proves himself a competent officer. Wellard is a very young and fairly capable young middie. He has some good action scenes in "Retribution". However, he is put through hell in "Mutiny" and he also has to fight his inner demons. Orrock appears in Series 3. He is competent, brave, knows his signals, and generally has it together. Jack Hammond is inept and panicky and only seems to be there because his uncle is influential enough and because his family wishes it. However, he claims it is his dream to serve in the Navy, and even his failures do not break him or make him reconsider his decision.

There are a number of suspicions, accusations, and cryptic silhouettes, but it's never definitively answered. All the audience ever knows for sure is that Sawyer told Wellard—who wasn't the man—Wellard told Hobbs, and Hobbs would not name the man in court.

Horatio Hornblower / int_a5f0752f	comment	Rule of Drama: A number of matters from the second series were made far more dramatic than what happened in the book Lieutenant Hornblower. Sawyer's incapacitation was permanent from the time he fell. (So Hornblower showered uninterrupted.) Rather than crashing, the ship ran aground so smoothly that nobody even knew until Bush noticed that they weren't rocking with the firing of the cannons. The destruction of the fort was not a Suicide Mission—it was conducted properly and with very little fuss, with the sole purpose of making really sure that nobody could use it against the British again. The slave rebellion is a backdrop to the attack on the fort. While this encourages the Spanish to surrender, at no point does the rebel army come into contact with the British. The court-martial never occurred. The brass was actually trying to hush up anything related to Sawyer's insanity and so were content to settle it as "the mission was a success and Saywer died honorably in battle"; the lieutenants actually profited by way of prize money. Buckland's career remained ruined by his ignominious capture, however. In "Loyalty", Major CÃ´tard is a French expatriate who defected to fight against Napoleon, with many questioning his loyalty to Britain. In the book, he is a British citizen who grew up on Gurnsey and spoke French his whole life, with his accent and fluency being better than Hornblower as the reason he's selected for the mission.

Horatio Hornblower / int_a929d574	comment	Doctor's Orders: Even authorities like ship's captains must obey medical doctors, but it gets complicated if doctors are reluctant to give those necessary orders. A plot point in "Mutiny" involves the officers of HMS Renown having to convince the ship's doctor to declare Captain Sawyer medically unfit to command due to his slipping sanity. He is unwilling to do so because even as a ship's surgeon he might face a court martial for mutiny. Further complicating the issue is the fact that Dr Clive and Captain Sawyer are longtime friends.

Archie has an Oh Crap face when Jack Simpson, rescued from the destroyed Justinian, gets aboard the "Indy" and volunteers himself to participate in the raid, and Lt. Eccleston agrees and says he will go with Archie and Horatio. Horatio makes an epic face when he's sitting in a Punishment Box and suddenly finds a rat on his shoulder. Captain Sawyer takes one look at two battle-ready French frigates rapidly approaching and realizes that the Renown (and its drunken crew) is nowhere-near prepared for an engagement. When Captain Sawyer is concussed and unconscious, Horatio is having a shower on deck to freshen himself after his endless continuous watch. Everybody is watching, cheering him and having fun, but then comes ominous music and Captain Sawyer makes an appearance. Horatio's face says it all. When the lieutenants are in irons and the ship is under heavy fire, they plead Hobbs to release them. He seems to seriously consider it, but then says no. Cue Horatio's closing his eyes intensely.

Horatio Hornblower / int_b179eb00	comment	Tragic Bromance: Horatio and Archie's friendship was extremely deep. They were together in purgatory (HMS Justinian where they both got tormented by a sadistic midshipman), got separated and met again in hell (a Spanish prison where they were tortured and Archie tried to starve himself). Horatio saved Archie's life when he nursed him back into health, and Archie saved Horatio's when he came back for him and dragged him from an exploding bridge during the doomed Muzillac mission. In "Retribution", Horatio is shattered by Archie's slow and painful death and his Heroic Sacrifice. However, the emotional fallout after Archie's death isn't explored overtly in the subsequent series. Quite possibly due to Executive Meddling because Forester's estate wanted Horatio paired with Lt. Bush whose friendship is less tight, and turned Hornblower into "a hero alone", which is who he is in the books.

Despite Matthew's assurance that Hornblower did everything he could, Hornblower still thinks that Pellew would have found a way. (Later, Pellew says much the same thing as the other two, and that dealing with such self-destructive men is inevitable with command.) Archie says this almost word-for-word to Horatio after Mariette's death and the failure of the Muzillac mission.

Horatio Hornblower / int_c00afbbd	comment	With Due Respect: Sometimes it's really meant sincerely (when addressing Pellew or similar good figure), but at other times the implications are clear, especially in "Mutiny" and "Retribution" when the lieutenants had to deal with their crazy Captain and weak First Lieutenant. The sarcastic "sir" is also used quite frequently, done by the character leaving a slight pause before the word or uttered with ever so slightly disrespectful intonation. A series-wide compilation would probably run some time. Anyway, concrete examples: Hornblower is puzzled by Captain Sawyer's sudden reinterpretation of his standing orders. Mr Bush tried it quite politely when Captain Sawyer was unjustly berating Hornblower, when he should have been praised. However, when Sawyer barked at him, Bush tried to take it back as well as he could. Hornblower wanted to settle an issue with his seaman Styles who was beaten nearly to death by Randall. By that time, Captain Sawyer was paranoid and unable to judge clearly. He told Hornblower that he was to squeamish and that he would not press charges. When Hornblower pulls respect on him, Sawyer gets super-angry and even more suspicious. When they defeated Spaniards and tried to establish conditions, Buckland was all to eager to accept their safe passage to Kingston and letting them have their ships. When Acting Captain Buckland insists they blow up the fort, sending one of them to a suicide mission, Archie Kennedy asks him absolutely bluntly: "With respect, Sir, what's to be gained?" Captain Hammond uses this respect Stock Phrase to challenge Commodore Pellew's accusations of Buckland. Hammond's plan is to get down Horatio, not Buckland.

Matthews replies that he knows damn well that Hornblower gave no order to leave without him and that Hammond is the only person who's let him down after being given a chance, so he really doesn't give a tinker's cuss what he likes or doesn't.

Horatio Hornblower / int_c12f0c4	comment	Outrun the Fireball: Horatio and Archie outrun the fireball from an exploding bridge in "The Wrong War". Wellard manages to escape from explosion in a tunnel of a Spanish fort in "Retribution". Hornblower outruns a massive fireball in "Loyalty". This explosion was huge and frankly, it's ridiculous that anyone near the fort might survive it. But even the bad guys who were not seen outrunning the fireball apparently got better as they resurfaced at the end of the movie. The book that the third series was based on, Hornblower and the Hotspur, featured a similarly massive explosion but with several deaths due to the raining debris.

As the First Lieutenant, he keeps the ship running smoothly so that Horatio only has to worry about the broader strategy. Matthews is the most reliable one of the lower deck characters. He's an experienced sailor and very caring to his fellow crewmen, and he actually has some naval and fatherly advice up his sleeve, even for young and competent officers. And he's never smug about it.

One seaman is jerking around like a plague victim, and all the rest of the crew are terrified of him because they are aboard of a quarantined ship. Hornblower coolly walks up to him, grabs him by the shoulders and smells his breath. Sure enough, he's drunk.

Horatio Hornblower / int_ec993b17	comment	Leaning on the Furniture: In "The Even Chance", when midshipmen Horatio, Archie and Clayton discuss Horatio's upcoming duel, they all lean on a cannon. They are teenagers, which might explain a lot; however, they are alone and it's used to improve the composition of the scene. Doing it in front of their superiors would get them to kiss a gunner's daughter very quickly. In "Retribution", Lieutenants Kennedy and Bush lean on a very high chair when they negotiate the conditions of a truce with Senor Ortega, a commander of the fort they captured. It's meant to show Senor Ortega who's got the upper hand, but considering that by this time they have very little respect for their Acting Captain, it could be done for Mr Buckland's benefit as well.

But he really does not like seeing Wellard abused in Series Two; this probably has a great deal to do with the suffering he endured as a midshipman. When Randall, one of the lower-deck sailors and below Wellard in rank, calls the latter "little boy" and mocks him, Archie gives him a pretty epic shout-down. And when Sawyer has Wellard beaten multiple times for no good reason, the rest of the lieutenants are angry at the injustice but he is positively seething.

The series also retains the detail from the first story, where the harbor rowboat that took Horatio to the Justinian was crewed by a pair of women. Although the books set later in Hornblower's life featured several prominent female characters, as a young officer he had virtually no contact with the opposite sex.
