Ciaran, Harry, and Michael sit down to discuss the BBC 2018 series Bodyguard for a new series for The Social Review covering British political dramas of television and film. In it we'll examine what they say about the politics of their time and today, as well as why the genre has come to be so dominated by the format of police procedurals.
In this episode we discuss: the snoopers charter, organised crime, and the humourlessness of BBC dramas.
