David Jason returns to BBC sitcom land where he has had great success in the past.
He plays Captain Guy Hubble; an ex-guardsman who becomes the Head of Security at the Buckingham Palace car park.
He then gets promoted as the Royal Bodyguard after somehow saving the Queen's life at the State Opening of Parliament.
Geoffrey Whitehead is Colonel Dennis Whittington; Hubble's hapless boss. He knows that Hubble is useless but is unable to fire him because Hubble somehow manages to please the Queen.
You can immediately guess that Jason plays a cross between Johnny English and Inspector Clouseau with Whittington essentially being Inspector Dreyfus.
At 71 years of age, Jason is rather too old to play such a role and looks it especially as is makes demands on him physically.
It also did not help that the sitcom is so lame, predictable and lacks an ounce of originality. You know where they got their inspiration from and Jason is miscast.
