Spoilers alert (if you've not already seen it)....
As I rarely watch BBC dramas I can't say if this, from Laura Perrins at The Conservative Woman, is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the much-talked-about The Bodyguard but it made me smile and it sounds like typical BBC drama to me.
It's just that so many people I know have been watching it and said they're finding it gripping. How tonight's episode hits them I'll doubtless hear tomorrow.
- Admit it, every girl wants her own Specialist Protection Officer.
- Indeed, the BBC can stick in as many women as they want as snipers, bomb disposal experts, or boss of The Bodyguard himself, but although this may thrill the feminists, it is not what brings in the viewers.
- You realise this is just Beauty and the Beast with guns, right? Can Julia tame Budd? That's the only question we want answered.
- OMG. You realise this the part where Budd runs across the stage and flings himself in front of the bullet coming Julia's way?
- BBC logic on the The Bodyguard. Unpaid internships cause Islamic extremism and terrorism. Genius.
- As I was saying: OMG. This is the part where Budd runs across the stage and flings himself in front of the bullet coming Julia's way?
- David Budd is a really crappy protection officer. I hope he was dynamite in the sack to make up for his awfulness on the job.
- If the BBC in The Bodyguard are going to make out traumatised war veterans are bigger threat to the UK than Islamic terrorism then they can f*ck right off.
Have any of you been watching it? Does "BBC logic on the The Bodyguard. Unpaid internships cause Islamic extremism and terrorism. Genius" and "If the BBC in The Bodyguard are going to make out traumatised war veterans are bigger threat to the UK than Islamic terrorism then they can gosh darn it right off" sum up tonight's 'message'?
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was the case but I have no intention whatsoever of checking it out for myself. There are limits beyond which this blogger will not go - and watching BBC drama is one of them! 😃
