A brief guide to each episode of The Royal Bodyguard
Episode 1
It’s the Commonwealth Conference in Scotland, but there’s intelligence that suggests a planned assassination attempt on The Queen. Taking his new role very seriously, Hubble soon manages to upset foreign ambassadors, colleagues, hotel guests and even the restaurant pianist as he haphazardly carries out his security checks. An attractive woman spells trouble as he gives away vital security information – and soon has to go all out to save Her Majesty.
Episode 2
A routine shopping trip for a Prince turns into a potentially dangerous siege after a misunderstanding between Hubble and a member of the Prince’s protection team. As negotiations get underway Hubble only makes the situation worse. Despite this, he plans his own personal rescue mission.
Episode 3
Hubble enlists the help of his aspirant sniffer dog Winston as he continues in his new role of Royal Bodyguard. It’s The Queen’s birthday, but Hubble soon stumbles into calamity and is forced to take a few days' break at a health spa – where he comes across a familiar face and his planned relaxation is suddenly shelved. He returns to duty in time to oversee Her Majesty’s visit to an Oxford Museum, which is far from straightforward.
Episode 4
There’s been a burglary at the Palace and The Queen enlists Hubble to source its culprit. But there is more concern when it appears that the thieves were unwittingly assisted by Hubble, much to his boss’s joy. Guy’s endeavours to make things right put him in a sticky situation. David Walliams (Little Britain, Come Fly with Me) guest stars in this episode.
