Aww, what a love Valentine's Day Gift! The gift of your sort of boyfriend who hit you over the head and landed you in this mess turning up! Just like Eastenders> :P

He might have brought a Valentine's gift with him! A nice rose or something. No wonder Archie took the hump ;)

Just like Eastenders
Oh gawd. You're not going to start writing Hornblower / Eastenders / L&O UK cross over fic are you?!

Violets are blue,
Roses are red,
I'm sorry, Archie
That I hit you on the head.

Roses are big,
Violets are small,
We found you again In El Ferrol.

Onions get chopped,
Roses get cut,
Good thing Mr Hunter
Was using his but.

Violets are damp,
Cactus are dry,
You look really good
For a starving guy.

You have my sympathies. Do you feel better now? Or shall I send Dr Clive along with a dose? ;P

Who's the other woman? Is she the Duchess' lady's maid? Please tell me she's a lady's maid, because it bothered me to no end that the Duchess travelled without one.

Now, that's what I call a grand gesture. Letting yourself get captured on Valentine's Day to be reconciled with your one true love!

re: lady's maid - I KNOW, RIGHT? I suppose the casting folks at ITV didn't feel like adding an essentially non-speaking part to the cast, just to preserve 18th-century notions of propriety, which they'd probably thought most of the viewers wouldn't know anyway.

Their timeline is going to give me HIVES, what with Cape St. Vincent happening in 1797, and the Quiberon debacle happening in 1795, and the order of the episodes being entirely backwards of that. I'm moving their bloody captivity earlier and shortening it, is what I'm doing!

To be fair, they had a point!

I wouldn't even bother trying to nail down a timeline. Forrester's own timeline doesn't really add up! And the timelines of the books and the movies don't really synch either. For the record though, Scaryfangirl has it all worked out here.

I've seen that timeline. It doesn't always help, if you've got external historical events in mind.

I got very spoiled by O'Brian, I really did.
