Comic Relief 2019: Richard Madden, Joanna Lumley and Keeley Hawes star in raunchy Bodyguard parody

Richard Madden, Joanna Lumley, and Keeley Hawes all made an appearance in a Red Nose Day parody of Bodyguard.

The thriller was a ratings juggernaut for the BBC in 2018, with 10.4m people tuning in for the live finale broadcast.

Madden returned as PS David Budd, who was personally requested by a new prime minister to be her principle protection officer.

That prime minister happened to be Joanna Lumley, instantly turning the hit drama into a non-stop series of innuendos.

The highlight of which was when David enquired: “Do you require any assistance with your box, mam?”

Another twist up Red Nose Day’s sleeve was a surprise appearance by Keeley Hawes, who was revealed to be hiding in the trunk of the prime minister’s car.

“Do you know if I’m in series two?” she asked of David/Madden, who duly responded that her character was dead. “Am I?” she teased.
