Despite horrific injury and traumatic surgery, Trevor survived - only to have to fight on as his boss's grief at the loss of his son turned into a desperate hunt for culprit and conspiracy.

Trevor Rees-Jones is clearly a man to whom duty and loyalty are paramount. He has no personal feelings about Diana, beyond describing her as "a woman you could take down the pub, and from me, that's a pretty high compliment". He rightly accepts no blame in her death, though he still feels responsible that it happened "on my shift". Vincent Franklin as Mike Travis MP, Minister of State for Counter-Terrorism, who grows increasingly resentful over being excluded from Montague's dealings with MI5.

Ash Tandon as DCI Deepak Sharma, a senior detective in SO15 leading the investigation into the recent series of terror activities. As things fail to add up, he becomes suspicious of Budd. The first is easy to understand. As Rees-Jones himself admitted, when it comes to emotions, he's "not that kind of bloke". But the second seems unbelievable.

While the world wept in August 1997, unwilling to believe that something as prosaic as a car accident could have killed Diana, Princess of Wales, the one man who knew the truth was in a coma in a Paris hospital, with only half a face and no tongue.

From the moment we met, the heavily built, but good-looking former paratrooper was distant and wary. Only when his co-bodyguard, Kez Wingfield, joined us did he loosen up. They were together in France, on the boat, in St Tropez and Monte Carlo and at the Ritz. Kez didn't want Trevor to go in the car with them. He had noticed that his friend "wasn't in love" with the driver, Henri Paul, and was stressed out with arguing with Dodi, so he thought it best that he go instead. He still wishes he had. We met in a London hotel room. I arrived early and walked in on a family conference. I told his mother how much I admired the way the family had coped - with the press, particularly with the pressure from Mohamed Al Fayed. It was nothing special, she said: "You cope in the only way you can, the only way you know how." The Bodyguard was one of the most iconic films of the 1990s and elevated Whitney Houston to being even more of a superstar than she already was. Michael Shaeffer as "Richard Longcross", an enigmatic MI5 agent working under Hunter-Dunn who becomes involved in a cat-and-mouse game with Budd.Frank, Rachel, Rachel's driver Henry (Christopher Birt), Rachel's son Fletcher (DeVaughn Nixon), and her sister Nikki (Michele Lamar Richards) then travel to Frank's father's home, which is a large log cabin in the mountains by a lake. Frank's dad, Herb Farmer (Ralph Waite) is a semi-retired attorney who welcomes the group to his home. At the mountain retreat, Nikki attempts to seduce Frank, and becomes angry when her advances are refused. Fletcher is almost killed the next day, when a bomb explodes inside the boat he had been riding in moments before. After finding footprints around the cabin, and finding the automobiles sabotaged, they realize Rachel's stalker has followed them. The film then follows Rachel Marron's life from performance to performance. Each performance features her singing a song (including Houston's hits I Will Always Love You and I Have Nothing) that reflects her emotional state. Frank Farmer successfully protects her from danger. Subsequently, and possibly as a result of his protection and the trust thus inspired, Rachel Marron falls in love with Frank, and, though he tries to keep their relationship professional, they sleep together. However, recognizing that their relationship puts her and her family in danger, he breaks-off the affair and heightens moves to protect her (many such previous moves were shot down by Rachel). Ironically, in an effort to separate Rachel from her own world, Frank introduces Rachel to his own father and personal life. As the story follows a number of potential stalkers, Rachel must put her trust in Frank ahead of her own selfishness and desire for success; as Frank must face the fact that the threat may not be what was expected. In the end, Frank's duty is fulfilled, having successfully protected Rachel, and they part with a kiss. Frank then moves on to his next assignment...to protect an archbishop. a b D'Addario, Daniel (10 October 2018). "TV Review: 'Bodyguard' on Netflix". Variety . Retrieved 10 September 2020.
