The Royal Bodyguard

Famed British comedic actor David Jason (A Touch of Frost) stars as Guy Hubble, a bumbling palace guard who inadvertently saves the Queen’s life and gets promoted to be her private body guard. Hubble is such a bungling mess he makes Inspector Clouseau look graceful, but his heart is in the right place and his devotion to the Queen is unrivaled. It’s enormously entertaining to watch such a talented comic perform the physical comedy of the part. Even when the stories don’t work as hard to give him a reason to do what he does, Jason manages to find the funny in the situation and milk it for laughs with style and, believe it or not, grace.
