I saw one trailer for it and decided not to watch so have no idea.

opps sorry just noticed that back to small print
much easier on the eyes and about the royal body guard i would say dire is a much to complentary word for it pants d.jason must be short of work!!

I've only seen the adverts, but I can tell from them it's utter rubbish.

I watched the first episode.
It should be on CBBC (if at all), but I think many children would also find it puerile dross.

[Jemisa]

I watched 10 mins of first episode, God what was David Jason thinking of? the Beeb should pull it its awful and I feel embarassed for D J.

No need to shout! I like it, quite amusing, Like a cross between Johnny English and Frank Spencer.

DJ now sadly far too long in the tooth to be a bodyguard.

Guess he must need the money.

[Ratty2E]

I've watched 2 of them in the vain hope it would get better....it didn't. I am actually finding myself embarrassed for dear old DJ what posessed him he can't be that desperate for money. I can't watch any more of it i just can't take the pain.

[mickrog]

TV at its worst.......cept if you include the soaps

[VHG]

Just watched it tonight (well 20 minutes of it) and it was awful.

After seeing David jason play a usually confident Del Boy it is sad to see him play an incompentent person who is always being told off and ridiculed.

I have to say he is also not very good (or too old) to play the slaptstick that much of the part requires.

He needs to find a part more approiate to his age. He may have been better as the "boss" with a younger actor (a Rowan Atkinson type) playing the bodyguard, like the "Johnny English" role in the Rowan Atkinson films. Aktinson is far better at this type of role.

The script is also pretty poor, makes you wonder how it ever got made.

I saw a bit of it and i thought it was utter rubbish, i wouldnt even say it was remotely funny,
