One bodyguard too many?

In a couple of week BBC1 will start showing Bodyguard the latest much hyped drama by writer Jed Mercuio. It stars Richard Madden as a soldier turned Special Branch bodyguard who finds himself protecting a Home Secretary (played by Keeley Hawes) whose polices he despises. Just as the first episode ends Channel 5 will be showing The Bodyguard the 1992 film starring Kevin Costner as an ex US Secret Service agent protecting a Pop star played by that real life one Whitney Houston. Houston's cover of the Dolly Parton song I Will Always Love You topped the charts around the world.
