Sometimes TV shows come along and capture the nation. It happened with Line Of Duty, it happened with The Traitors, and it very much happened with The Bodyguard. Who could forget Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden taking centre stage in the high stakes political thriller, which aired way back in 2018?
