My interest in Bodyguard just went up 200%.
Keeley Hawes is definitely a plus point but I believe the supporting cast is full of great British character actors as well, hopefully Madden will be worthy of the material.
Have got it racking up and will catch it when it's close to the finish, binge it over a couple of weeks after we return from our holiday, off to Italy for 12 days in less than 2 weeks time.
That's good to know, I figured it would be worth a look with the pedigree involved.
That sounds lovely! Hope you both have a great trip there :-)
Any Bond locations planned?
Thanks, we fly to Milan and then we are taking in the Emilia-Romagna, Lake Como (Casino Royale) and Lake Maggiore are on the schedule as well as Modena and Palma.
I guess just Como would be it for Bond, we love Italy and have been quite a few times, Florence, Rome, Puglia and Sardinia and Brescia and the surrounding area.
Only done one of the lakes so far when we were in Brescia Lake Iseo not as famous as the 2 above and Garda but still utterly beautiful.
Right, Rupert Friend. He looks by far more the part than any actors mentioned on the last twenty pages.
I'm taking notes from this, @Shardlake! Definitely want to visit Italy at some point, but don't really know where to start.
I hope you share some pictures from the trip when you get back! Googling those locations, it definitely looks fantastic. :-)
I will indeed, Italy is just our favourite destination, there is also the food and the wine, you can't go wrong.
Great!
I really love Italian food; bad at making it, but still enjoy it, haha! Once read that dining in smaller family owned restaurants (in Italy) usually makes the better food experiences?
(Sorry for going off-topic, folks!)

Well Madden sure looks beefed up in these pics. I guess I owe him an apology : he does not need a claymore and a beard to look manly. That says he looks like a young Arnie.
I'm not convinced but because I'm a fan of Robb Stark I am open.
Have never heard about the guy before. Might be older photos, but he sure doesn't look 37!
I agree. He's a bit short and like Craig may have to put on the muscle in order to be convincingly lethal if selected. While that's perhaps ok in another series, I'd rather a future Bond have the height and physical stature so as not to have to resort to these techniques.
There's a fine line there, that's for sure. The actor can't seem too likable, neither can he look too unlikable. Difficult to comment on Barnes just on the basis of the photos, I feel. He looks decent in some.
He looks a bit too buff/rough for my taste. If people complain Craig is not refined enough I wonder what they'd think of Madden. Although it is a different character so his demeanour as Bond might change this perception.
Fair enough. I'm all for it if the actor is great enough for the role, but wouldn't mind a return to someone a bit taller either.
Peter Dinklage is a terrific actor.
I'm 5’10 myself, and I do feel short, haha!
