 One of the best. January 7, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This has to be one of my favourites of the Hornblower series. Hornblower and the others find themselves under the charge of a crazy captain. Mutiny is inspired after his harsh and cruel treatment of Wellard, a young midshipman. However, in other episodes, Hornblower has been my favourite character, but in this, he was taken over by Bush, beautifully played by Paul McGann. He appears somewhat heartless and weak, particularly when he fails to defend Wellard, but is later reveal to be loyal and determined. In this episode more is made of Matthews and Styles, played well by Paul Copley and Sean Gilder. I always enjoy these characters, which get better and better with every episode. Kennedy makes a welcome appearance as Wellard's defender, the only officer to do so, making him well loved by the audience. The two stars of the show have to be young Terrence Corrigan as Wellard, and of course, crazy captain Sawyer. Corrigan is wonderful. He handles some difficult and potentially humilating scenes with dignity and courage. Sawyer was horrifying and eventually pityed. Gruffudd as Hornblower, was, as usual, charming. But unfortunately, slightly overshadowed by an excellent supporting cast.
Any Hornblower fans must see this episode, one of the best. Again however, no extras on the DVD. I'd love to see cast interviews or a 'making of...' documentary.

This episode, with its partener 'Retribution' a close second, is my favourite out of all 8. It sees the return of our old friends Pellew, Matthews, Styles and, of course, Hornblower. Though absent from the book, a place is found for Archie Kennedy, and his cheeky smile really brightens up the screen. Paul McGann makes an excellent, and very welcome enterance as Lieutenant Bush. A tale of loyalty and mutiny follows, as they serve under a mad captain and unassertive First Lietenant. This is an interesting interpretation, but it stays within the bounds of the book, and really manages to flourish. A few unrealistic blue-screen effects, and one or two convictionless lines, fail to mar this great programme. Well done.
