Paul Millar, Digital Spy, 27th December 2011Review: The Royal Bodyguard (BBC1)
Overall, The Royal Bodyguard will likely appeal to people I don't have anything in common with, in the same way the Last Of The Summer Wine entertained a certain demographic for years after it stopped being funny to most people. Maybe this sitcom will improve if the stories become more interesting and original, but I can't see it happening.
