New Horatio Hornblower episodes this week

A&E is presenting two new episodes of Horatio Hornblower this week, specifically tonite and tomorrow nite at 8pm (with repeats every two hours throughout the night and more repeats over the weekend). The episodes are Loyalty tonight and Duty tomorrow, and are probably related the way Mutiny and Retribution were last year. Both episodes this week deal with the early years of the Napoleonic Wars.

Both Ioan Gruffudd and Paul McGann (Dr. Who #8) are reprising their roles as Hornblower and Bush respectively, and a new addition to the cast is Ab Fab's Julia Sawalha.
