Anyone else watching?
Quite like it so far....

Ok if you don’t think about it too much.
Close protection officer leaving vehicle and subject to pursue gunman alone ?
Amber Rudd probably scratching her head wondering why she didn’t get such attention.Originally Posted by mindforge
99% of the population wondering why Theresa May does?

It's quite good.
No point being picky about dramas, if it was realistic no-one would watch it
I just get the feeling it’s gonna be another one of those dramas that is six episodes long but should have been four. The BBC seem to drag things out to fill air time these days, it’s the same with Keeping Faith.
Winter is Coming
I though it pretty good depiction of just how many agencies etc all treading on each other must be like.
I thought it was fairly good .
Watching it.
Not too bad.
Do these fine upstanding cabinet members really have this level of protection?
He didn't leave her alone, he left her with the team from the Range Rover, but it was a bit odd that he went into the building alone, I'd agree.
However, that was required for dramatic effect - He couldn't have had the chat with his shooter mate if another police officer was there.
It's TV drama, not a documentary.

Surely the backup vehicle should have shielded the subjects car when the sniper opened fire. For some reason they just parked behind and sat watching...
oh, and how did the sniper know the route that the subject would be taking that day?
All a bit hit and miss but quite exciting all the same
That will be revealed in a forthcoming episode.Surely the backup vehicle should have shielded the subjects car when the sniper opened fire. For some reason they just parked behind and sat watching...

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
From the very moment he was assigned you just knew he would...
...as would I given half a chance.
Quite nice, ditch the romance though I'd say.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
The armed response chaps must have thought the lorry driver and passenger were particularly tall .....
A reasonably entertaining watch.

Has Julia copped it?
The opening episode was very gripping. I've been watching it, don't quite know where it's going though.....
Leaving the car door open......
Are we looking at the new 007?
Good bit of entertainment but easy to pick holes, true life would not be interesting enough!
I think he ("Sergeant David Budd") sounds as wooden as a piece of 4 x 2 and looks like a Thunderbirds puppet. I think I am just about keeping up with the plot!

Really enjoying it, yes you have to take it with a pinch of salt however that's the same with all dramas. Spooks and the like were/are exactly the same.
The stand out question for me though - is he using any protection?
There is definitely something of the Thunderbirds about him!
I reckon Keeley would be great, yes!

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Most works of fiction require you to suspend common sense especially when you know it’s starting
to get a wee bit far fetched
I’m not convinced by it yet. It’s quite slow to progress, somewhat predictable and overall I’m not getting excited about the next episode. To be honest I’ve been picking it up on iPlayer as I’ve been elsewhere and enjoying Vanity Fair on the other side more, and I think I’ll give it one more episode before I save my bandwidth.
It’s quite captivating

There's a discussion on Facebook between two guys who have been protection officers and they're much less than impressed.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Why? Didn't they get to shag the Home Secretary? I wonder who the character of Juliua Montague is based on? Jacqui Smith, Theresa May or Amber Rudd?
Indeed...
I can't imagine a day in the life of a Protection Officer would really be very exciting viewing.
Look around, give the all clear, get in the car, drive somewhere, get out of the car, look around, give the all clear...
I'm sure it's a stressful job with lots to do, but few jobs actually make entertaining TV (I know mine isn't entertaining at all!) and, except for a few 'fly on the wall' documentaries (always edited down to the exciting/interesting bits and very often spiced with false jeopardy) few of us would bother watching such things.
A bit of conspiracy theory, drama with snipers in central London and bombs going off by leading Politicians, makes for entertaining TV.

Do you mind! I’m having my lunch!!
Maybe BBC just trying to push their agenda by portraying mentally ill war veterans as bigger threat to UK than Islamic extremism.
I’m quite enjoying it as another silly Sunday night drama with no basis in reality - it’s a bit silly really isn’t it?
As to ‘the next James Bond’ - we’ll, I can’t say I’m blown away by his acting skills, and even with his ‘ballistic vest’ on he still looks so slender and delicate I’m sure my 15 year old son could take him in a punch- up!

Yep, that's it, very clever...

I'm hooked, enjoying it so far.
Don’t think so...

They spend most of their time sat around in an office.
There’s a tea shop / cafe in a village on the Sandringham estate that seems to have a couple of all black Range Rover permanently parked there.

No nothing about the show, but it seems popular and a friend of mine is co-producer
To be fair, it’s a drama not a documentary....
