You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The series ran from 7 October 1998 until 6 January 2003, with [[Ioan Gruffudd]] in the title role. It was produced by the British broadcaster [[ITV Meridian]], and was shown on [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] in the UK and [[A&E (TV channel)|A&E]] in the US. It is often repeated on [[ITV4]].

==The film series==
The series consists of eight [[television film]]s, which are notable for their high production values. All were later released on DVD (with the original aspect ratio of [[16:9]] widescreen in Europe and [[4:3]] in the US). In the US, the series was retitled ''Horatio Hornblower'', and some of the films were known by different titles. The eight films cover the events of just three of the ten novels (''[[Mr. Midshipman Hornblower]]'', ''[[Lieutenant Hornblower]]'', and ''[[Hornblower and the Hotspur]]''), and various alterations and additions are made to the source material (e.g., the recurring characters of Lt. Archie Kennedy, Matthews and Styles).

* ''[[The Even Chance]]'' (U.S. title: ''The Duel'') (7 October 1998)
* ''[[The Examination for Lieutenant]]'' (U.S. title: ''The Fire Ship'') (18 November 1998)
* ''[[The Duchess and the Devil]]'' (24 February 1999)
* ''[[The Frogs and the Lobsters]]'' (U.S. title: ''The Wrong War'') (2 April 1999)
* ''[[Mutiny (2001 film)|Mutiny]]'' (8 April 2001)
* ''[[Retribution (2001 film)|Retribution]]'' (15 April 2001)
* ''[[Loyalty (film)|Loyalty]]'' (5 January 2003)
* ''[[Duty (film)|Duty]]'' (6 January 2003)

==Production==
Captain Pellew's ship, ((HMS|Indefatigable|1784|6)), is represented by the ''[[Grand Turk (frigate)|Grand Turk]]'', a modern copy of the [[frigate]] ((HMS|Blandford|1741|6)) built in 1741. To represent Hornblower's ship, HMS ''Hotspur'', the [[Earl of Pembroke (tall ship)|''Earl of Pembroke'']], a civilian ship, underwent some conversion. The Baltic trading schooner ''Julia'' and the [[brig]] [[Phoenix (tall ship)|''Phoenix of Dell Quay'']] were used to represent the smaller vessels. No real [[74-gun ship]] existed any longer at the time of production (the last one, [[HMS Implacable (1805)|HMS ''Implacable'']], was scuttled in 1949), so HMS ''Justinian'' and [[HMS Renown (1798)|HMS ''Renown'']] had to be recreated as models. For the first series a quarter of a 74-gun ship (one exterior side and three open sides to shoot live action on several decks) called the ''pontoon'' was built. Later live action on the [[quarterdeck]] or the [[gundeck]] below was shot on the actual [[HMS Victory|HMS ''Victory'']]. Eleven scale models, ranging from 4.5 to 7 m in length, were used for the battle scenes, the largest weighing 1400&nbsp;kg, and made with working rigging and cannons that were fired by remote control. Shooting locations included the [[Black Sea]], the [[Livadia Palace]], Portugal, and the former administration (Melville) building of the [[Royal William Yard]] and the [[Barbican, Plymouth]] in England.

==Awards==
* [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries]] (1999)
* [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Limited Series or Movie|Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries or Movie]] (1999)

==Series continuation==
[[Ioan Gruffudd]] had shown interest in participating in more ''Hornblower'' films.<ref>Jeff Jensen: [http://ew.com/article/2011/09/20/ioan-gruffudd-ringer-hornblower/ "Ioan Gruffudd on Sarah Michelle Gellar, 'Ringer,' and more 'Horatio Hornblower'"] from EW.com, 20 September 2011</ref> In 2007, he reportedly discussed the possibility of a big-screen version of ''Hornblower'', and had been attempting to gain the rights to the books by C. S. Forester."<ref>"Wenn": [http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/gruffudd%20plans%20hornblower%20movie_1022658 Gruffudd Plans Hornblower Movie] at contactmusic.com, 20 July 2007</ref>
