I think some very grumpy people with no appreciation for British humor have given The royal bodyguard a really bad review. It's not about what this series does not have (like making highly intelligent jokes) but about what it DOES have. And what it does have is fun and well I'll let you find out the rest for yourself. The actors are great and original. I must say i never liked MR Bean for instance. This series is somewhat similar to Mr Bean in the sense that it relies on silly happenings, but unlike Mr Bean, The Royal Bodyguard has silly happenings that could happen to anyone. It's great fun, and it's been a while that i laughed so hard. I gave it a 10/10 to compensate for the extremely negative reviews. I think it's more of an 8/10 :)

I really like The Royal Bodyguard. Nice lighthearted TV show that I enjoy. Over 2 million people out there must agree with me. Some people have said it is unrealistic but there aren't many programmes that are and isn't that the whole point? I have seen the first 3 episodes and am still enjoying them as much as the first episode.It makes me chuckle and that is something I need after a hard day, not coming in to watch miserable families going through a dreary day of their own! Too much misery for me! Please make a 2nd series and brighten my day. David Jason, you are still just as funny as ever and keep up the good work.

Watching David Jason on The One Show recently, he was congratulated on his ability to spot a great script; one that produced a character the British public would take to their hearts such as Del Boy, Granville, Pop Larkin, Frost and the like. When asked if The Royal Bodyguard would follow suit he seemed almost embarrassed and gave a rather mumbling response inferring that he hoped so.Clearly he knew what has become clear to all after just two episodes. This is quite possibly the lamest, least funny, most predictable and generally cringe-worthy "comedy" i have ever had the misfortune to suffer. The first episode was dire. More out of curiosity than anything else we gave the second episode a viewing; if anything it was even worse than the first. The thought of another four episodes is sheer purgatory and they will be avoided at all costs.It is so very sad that one of our most cherished and respected actors in the fields of both comedy and drama finds himself as the central figure in such banal rubbish. I sincerely hope that he finds another, more suitable vehicle to banish all memories of The Royal Bodyguard to the scrapheap...............and soon. It would be a terrible shame for this shambles to to be remembered as his final offering.The oft repeated Fools and Horses episodes never looked so good. Mind you, On The Buses looks good compared to this tripe!

David Jason is a hugely talented comic actor. Why, then, are the BBC demeaning him by giving him such a catastrophically idiotic, derivative and mirth-free script as "The Royal Bodyguard"? And who on earth gave this pathetic dross the go-ahead? This is real car-crash television: you can see the 'jokes' coming light years away. Throughout a conversation with a pianist at a grand piano, we all know David Jason's character will somehow mistakenly knock the piano cover closed. The lead-up to this century-old comedy non-starter is excruciating, though when it finally happens, it's still amazing just how limp the payoff is.Other 'highlights': he tries to eat a lobster but doesn't know how! He tries to attack a suit of armour!! He falls into some water!!! Ahahahaha haha hahahahaha!!!!! I could understand better if this mess was a one-off special for Boxing Day, when people are generally too drunk to get up and turn the telly off - but there's a whole series of "The Royal Bodyguard" on its way.... good grief! In conclusion: unbelievably pathetic, and a hugely embarrassing failure. If a 6-year-old had written this script for a school project, it would be returned with a red line through it. An insult to the abilities of David Jason and an insult to the viewer.
