Bodyguard

Sorry DK, Game of Thrones, should have put full title. Stand off between two actors from both programmes. Different outcome though.

Enjoying this, as you say, where will it go next?

Makes sense now!!! Never watched Game of Thrones as I don't have Sky TV so have no idea about the programme other than having heard it mentioned quite a bit.

Cult viewing. It was a few years before I started watching, it's an acquired taste for some, lots of violence and sex, but the characters and story are gripping. A roller coaster of twists and turns every series. Based loosely upon things such as War of the Roses, Hadrian's Wall, some other aspects of history.

I have listened to the audio books, unabridged, and to be honest, they are not as good as the TV adaptation in terms of story. The sets, costumes, locations are very interesting in themselves, a whole tourist industry in Ireland! Some big name actors as well, Charles Dance, Diana Rigg, Sean Bean, Jim Broadbent to name a few. Series are often quite a low price if bought via iTunes, usually around 10 hours viewing with lots of extras. We don't have Sky either, so I am always playing catch up!

But be warned, as I say very violent and you wouldn't let your Granny watch the sex scenes!

Thanks for taking the trouble to explain but it doesn't sound like my sort of thing. Sounds like Lord of the Rings with sex!!!!

Erm.........yes! But the goodies die as well as the baddies!

enjoying it so far, glad they didn't try and make her too likeable a character, that would just have been unbelievable for a politician

Just watched the 1st 2 episodes on catch up😱, Mrs Durrell should be ashamed😨

Excellent series,  Bodyguard is dramatic and we'll acted.  Great storyline.

I believe Keeley Hawes shadowed Amber Rudd MP for a while, to get an understanding of a female politician .Guess if there's a dance scene in a future episode , she's had a nosey at Theresa Mays efforts .😂😂.

Thanks for the positive reviews folks. I will now watch via catch-up.
