The entire Hornblower series is flat-out terrific, filling in a void in the swashbuckling genre. This episode, "The Frogs and the Lobsters" -- called "The Wrong War" here in the States -- is not the best of the series (there's stiff competition at that), but it's still an outstanding episode and a fitting end (for now) to the saga. Everything in the series looks right, even down to the little details; and besides being extraordinarily entertaining the "Hornblowers" smartly deal with themes like honor and integrity in a way that is thought-provoking and never quaint. Well-deserving of its emmy award for Best Miniseries. As Captain Pellew, the brilliant Robert Lindsay deserved a supporting actor nom as well.
