David Jason believes royals will approve comedy

Sir David Jason believes his new comedy will meet with royal approval.

The spirit of Clouseau lives on in Guy Hubble (David Jason - looking a tad aged for some of these stunts, bless him), an incompetent chosen as head of security at the Palace. He got the job because he saved the Queen from a runaway carriage, having accidentally scared the horses in the first place. If your idea of hilarity is Mr Bean, or Jason falling through the pub bar in Only Fools and Horses, then look no further.

Inexplicably scheduled at an hour when the audience most likely to appreciate it has long been tucked up in bed, this exceedingly silly six-parter stars national treasure David Jason as Capt Guy Hubble, a lifelong soldier and ageing bungler promoted to head Buckingham Palace security. Fortunately, the world's terrorists display an incompetence that outshines even Hubble's ineptitude.
