Hornblower: Loyalty

Off the coast of Brest, in the Napoleonic wars, Captain Horatio Hornblower (Ioan Gruffudd) takes aboard a French nobleman who has to reach a secret rendezvous. Admiral Sir Edward Pellew (Robert Lindsay) has sent him, and enemy agents are already somewhere among his own crew. Andrew Grieve keeps the ship's decks cramped and the pace brisk, so every glance between sailors carries suspicion.
