The Bodyguard

[Tyrion44]

Not a question, just want to say how much I am enjoying this programme. So pleased there have been no spoilers in the press. Reminds me of the good old days of radio and tv when a cliff hanger was just that.

[Zacs-Master]

It was a bit daft how they let him go off and do his own thing after the incident.

[retrocop]

More than a bit daft tonight and I was enjoyingmit thus far. A professional bodyguard attempts suicide with his Walther PPK loaded with blanks. The Suicide bomb carrier in custody ,Nadia,claiming her Muslim husband behaved in a sexist and bullying manner by locking her in the home whilst making his dodgy rv with suspect bomb makers.What is the Beeb thinking of?

[marval]

I look forward to seeing how they go with this.

I felt it was a bit strange this evening. Why didn't the policewoman take any notice of David?

[retrocop]

DS Budd is going to end in a whole world of grief if a connection is made between old army mucker, the rooftop sniper, and himself.

[bobbie22]

It's really good I think. The hour it is on passes so quickly. I can hardly wait to see the final part

[Ken4155]

Must admit to being a tad shocked when one of the main characters died - yes, we know who that person was but i am being sensitive to those who may have recorded it. It's just the type of guy i am:-) Read today somewhere that the Beeb have asked Jed Mecurio to come up with a script for a second series. Hope he obliges.

[retrocop]

I wonder sometimes how most viewers work out what all the acronyms that are constantly used mean. Too many in my opinion. Should have a glossary of terms . The Memsahib is always asking me what ARV,PPO,CPO,SO19 etc etc . Difficult following the plot when half deaf and explaining all these acronyms. :-)

"Read today somewhere that the Beeb have asked Jed Mecurio to come up with a script for a second series. Hope he obliges."

I would second that.

[Ken4155]

Meanwhile Series 5 of Jed's other little gem, Line Of Duty, looks set to be aired in early 2019 - fingers crossed.

^^^^^^^
Brilliant news Ken!

[retrocop]

Never watched Line of Duty but heard many good reports. Bit too late to try catch up but Bodyguard holds my particular interest at the moment.

[Ken4155]

If you ever do get the chance to catch up, retro, do so. Line Of Duty is class tv.

[retrocop]

Ken
Will try to do so but I try to limit my viewing of anything to do with "The Job" nowadays :-)

[chrissa1]

Line of Duty was/is fantastic!! I would advise anyone who enjoys these sort of series to look on eBay or whatever and buy the dvds.

Well surprised to see Keeley's character died. I am sure I was reading that she was looking forward to appearing in series two!!

[retrocop]

The Memsahib felt very cheated when Mrs Durrel got bumped off relatively early in the series. I couldn't believe DS Bunn was going to die at his own hands shortly after.

[retrocop]

Ah. Perhaps this is a cunning subterfuge. Home Sec isn't really dead but the security services want the baddies to think so. Then the baddies will blow their cover and be nicked. :-)

[Rosetta]

Its brilliant to have a tv series that has a great story line, strong characters and lots of twists etc. Retrocop, I would strongly recommend Line of Duty, even though you were in the trade

[-SharonA-]

Hope so Retro, as I like her character.
