Is Keeley Hawes’ Julia Montague actually dead? Who removed the bullet from David Budd’s (Richard Madden) gun? And is there a larger conspiracy behind all the twists in BBC’s Bodyguard?

Unfortunately, Ted doesn’t turn his attention to the terrorist plot involving Home Secretary Montague, instead questioning Budd about an undeclared free breakfast.

In fact, Ted even calls Budd ‘Tony’, which is weirdly the first name of Chief Inspector Gates, who Ted interviewed about the same offence in Line of Duty series one. Strange coincidence, eh?

Bodyguard continues this Sunday at 9pm on BBC1
