Excellent start to this new series ,brilliant edge of the seat scenes on the train.I've never come across this actor before but he is very believable.I'm looking forward to tomorrows instalment.I suppose it should have been expected that it was good as its from the people who made Line of Duty ,one of my favourite series'

The car windows are bullet proof. The driver had his window open.
Brilliant series, great key actors.

I thought the car windows were not bulletproof but the armoured body of the car was. That's why he kept yelling at her to keep her head down below window level.

We were also yelling 'Keep your head down, you silly woman' when she kept popping up. grin

That's implausible that the driver would have his window down!

Especially as Mr Bodyguard keeps telling everyone what to do...

He's good, so is Mrs Durrells.

Really enjoyable and tense thriller. Can't wait for the next episode. Some great acting gives it credibility.

It is Gk - and I don't know why the windows weren't bullet-proof.

Still, it's what makes a thrilling story, DH is always telling me off for picking holes in these kinds of series.

Jalima but picking holes is part of the fun ... smile

Where was the helicopter - there is always a police helicopter circling over these movements of high profile politicians. Still it wouldnt make such a good story would it? I think its Ok. I'm not a fan of Keeley Hawes so pouty and pleased with herself.

I love Keeley Hawes. She's such a versatile actress.

Brunette10 Tue 28-Aug-18 17:31:48

Yes Teetime, I said exactly the same, helicopters would have been on the scene very quickly.

Jalima1108 Tue 28-Aug-18 19:38:47

Unless, of course, Gina McKee wanted to be rid of the Home Secretary …..

Jalima1108 Tue 28-Aug-18 19:39:37

and, of course, having his buddy from the war in Afghanistan as the would-be assassin was very predictable.

Did your friend see any of the filming?

No, she didn't Eloethan but she's away a lot.

I'm another who assumed they'd get into bed but not as early as the second episode - no decency these days! grin

I don’t suppose busy politicians have a lot of time for a “slow burn”!

Just watched last Sunday's episode of Bodyguard - wow! exciting stuff on all levels!. Can't wait for this Sunday.

Oh gawd I’m going to have to watch last nights episode again as there’s so many different threads running through this one . It’s obviously an inside job but can’t work out who yet and David’s deterioration is hard to watch. We can see now why the rumpy pumpy happened so early on.

Jalima1108 Mon 10-Sept-18 11:56:14

It was a bit early to write Keeley Hawes out - do you think she's still alive and been spirited away somewhere?

sodapop Mon 10-Sept-18 12:02:55

Yes I thought so too Jalima

Jalima1108 Mon 10-Sept-18 12:11:00

DH said 'I suppose you wrote the script as usual'

grin

What happened to the nice quiet bloke in the jacket and pullover, he suddenly seems to have become very Machiavelian!

kittylester Mon 10-Sept-18 12:28:04

We should form a partnership jalima!! DH says I'm too good at guessing what happens.

I think it's that much maligned phenomenon known as Women's Intuition!

ninathenana Mon 10-Sept-18 13:25:55

kitty I don't think we can claim that one.
DH is very good at it too.

travelsafar Mon 10-Sept-18 13:52:10

I fell asleep so have to watch it again!!!!

nigglynellie Mon 10-Sept-18 16:38:06

DH was convinced that she is alive. I pooh poohed it! I may have to eat humble pie!!!! grrrr!!!?

pollyperkins Mon 10-Sept-18 17:47:57

Whats the other thread called? Can't find it.

mcem Mon 10-Sept-18 17:59:17

I agree with jalima and think she's still alive!
