He’s not wrong, I suppose. Historically, wasn’t pretty much everybody in Europe a bastard?

As you might deduce, in each episode Sharpe encounters bastards.

[/quote] Nah, he’s saying “bastud”. that’s how it’s pronounced up north and in parts of the midlands (Leicester, Nottingham). “Bastid” is more of a "Brummy (Birmingham) way of saying it.

Fun fact: Bernard Cornwell retconned Sharpe’s origins in the books so he could have Sean Bean’s accent; Sharpe was originally from London, but some time after Bean got the part Cornwell “revealed” that, although born in London, Sharpe had moved to Sheffield when small and grew up there.

I just want to say that Bean’s character in The Martian was spot on. I know several people, in the same industry, who are exactly like that. He did a great job.
