o dear david jason

[mickrog]

I am a great admirer of David Jason, but whyever did he decide to appear in such a dire series as The Royal Bodyguard? It is a blemish on such a great actors career.

I was thinking the same thing, OH enjoyed it though :-/

[sherrardk]

I will delete it then - thought it might touch and go with it anyway!

[maggiebee]

Loved him in Only Fools and Horses and Frost. For that reason I decided against watching this latest offering. Preview clips didn't bode well.

[askyourgran]

i didn't watch it, but I thought the trailer shown earlier he looked a bit desperate, and sadly he's looking a bit old too.

[annadomino]

It showed him in such a bad light, worst thing he has ever done, please tell me that isnt his real hair ??

[hellywelly4]

He was on the One Show and it was suggested that he is like Inspector Clouseau. I'm afraid I didn't fancy it at all. Can't do with 'silly' things like that. Peter Sellars was a different type of performer.

[Everhelpful]

Should have been on at 4o'clock on Children's TV. Absolute garbage.

[Postdog]

he was rubbish in the christmas trailer too.

[rosyposy]

I don't think it is a series tho', just a one off (hopefully!) rosy

[mickrog]

its a six part series

[sandyRoe]

Towards the last episodes of Frost he looked too old to be a policeman. I'd guess royal bodyguards would be about half his age.
If there was ever a remake of Only fools he might play Grandad.

[louismum]

couldn't agree more

[AlBags]

Everyone over 70 in a lead role on TV has black hair .. didn't you know?!

It was funny in a Pink Panther sort of way tho. Love it or hate it : )

[carlton23]

It`s in 6 parts.

[mickrog]

its nothing to do with his age....he is still a fine actor and there are many more things he can and may do....it is just the very poor writing and conception of this programme that i find bad...the whole thing is diabolicle and should never have reached our screens.

[sandyRoe]

Actors have to call it a day at some stage. The actor who played Dixon of Dock Green went on til he was 80. That was probably a bit too long.

[rosyposy]

Oops sorry about that, mickrog and carlton, I thought I'd read that they thought it would lead to a series - pity I wasn't right tho'.it was dire, rosy

[AlBags]

Unfortunately .. the 'action' shots he seems to be doing in this series will probably kill him.

[Baldric]

Started to watch it---gave up---not good!

[Captin Kirk]

seemed to be a cross between Johnny English and Mr Tumble ... dire!
