Bodyguard

So many questions - so many possibilities!

I'm not convinced that the Home Secretary (Keeley Hawes) is actually dead?

Twists and turns with lots of sub-plots makes for an enjoyable show imho.

It does seem strange that such a high profile actor is only in two episodes. Will our hero get to the bottom of it before the security forces. Gina Mckee is also another high profile actor and I wonder if she will be made a scapegoat?

There was an interview with the writer, Jed Mercurio, in the Guardian today. He said he decided to kill off the main character half way through the series because people always assume they will still be there at the end! He said "I like to try and do things that move the story on, and with The Bodyguard I wanted to have this event mid-series that would completely alter the dynamic"

Very interesting David, but you know they say you should never believe anything you read in the Press! 🤫😁

I think I would accept that had it not been a interview. Mind you he could just be fibbing to keep us all guessing!

As I said earlier I've been recording the series to watch at a convenient time. Every episode has been great. I've just watched the penultimate episode today and am really impressed by the story line , the acting and the characters.  Really looking forward to the final episode on Sunday.

The plot thickens........

Really enjoyed the series and as K said, well acted. Written by the same team which did Line of Duty, I thought it would be good viewing and I'm not disappointed.

Have to admit, I didn't see that coming!

Anyone else expect to see the car explode as they drove off?!!

Good stuff Beeb 

We did!    Great series, was on the edge of my seat last night.   Definitely the best episode.    Well done BBC. 

I was glad it was not Gina McKee that was the baddie. Perhaps they have plans for her in the second series. I must say I was concerned as the car drove off at the end but I assume a second series would also include DS Budd? It certainly was edge of the seat stuff. At first I thought they were going to shoot him!!! I thought it interesting how the girl on the train with the suicide belt turned from being a frightened little girl to a serious terrorist!!!
