BODYGUARD’s series finale is ver nearly here, and fans are praying they will get the answers to all their questions – in particular, who planted the bomb?
Ahead of the last episode of the thrilling season, here’s what we know about possible suspects and who could have been behind the attack?
When is the Bodyguard’s final episode on BBC One?
Bodyguard’s final episode will air on BBC One on Sunday, September 23, at 9pm and end at 10.15pm.
The Sun exclusively revealed the BBC have already extended the steamy drama’s finale by 15 minutes to make sure the high-octane drama delivers a suitably sensational finale.
The series thus far has had the nation gripped as episode five revealed that Julia Montague was secretly blackmailing the Prime Minister and bodyguard David Budd is now in possession of her “kompromat”.
Series creator Jed Mercurio revealed he’d be interested in returning to the political thriller but the BBC faces a fight to keep Bodyguard for season 2 as Netflix has bought the distribution rights.
Is Julia really dead?
Ahead of the explosive series finale, Personal Protection Officer David Budd, played by Richard Madden, is left more uncertain than ever about who he can and can’t trust.
We’re still no closer to knowing who set off the bomb and what exactly Julia knew that got her killed, however theories have emerged about how the BBC One show could end.
Fans have speculated about everything and everyone: from The Prime Minister ordering Julia dead because she uncovered his murky past to Julia faking her own death.
The latter theory was strengthened after eagle-eyed fans spotted that Keeley Hawes was listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB.com) as appearing in the final episode.
More Bodyguard
Who planted the bomb at Julia’s speech and what are the latest theories and clues?
MI5
Many people’s favourites for the crime, the security service have been behaving in a highly suspicious manner throughout the series.
Questions over their intentions were initially raised as they struggled to share information with the Met’s counter-terror police over the failed 1/10 bomb plot on the Euston-bound train.
Then there was the mysterious visit to the hotel of the man who identified himself to Budd as Richard Longcross – almost certainly an alias.
Longcross was later seen telling MI5 chief Stephen Hunter-Dunn that Montague had met secretly with the PM, causing Hunter-Dunn to react with anger and indignation.
It could be that MI5 have grown suspicious of the threat posed by Montague and fear being cut out of the loop over vital security issues.
In episode five we learned that Nadia, the would-be suicide bomber, and her husband picked up their explosive vest from Longcross.
Anne Sampson and the Met Police’s counter-terrorism force
Anne Sampson, who heads up the country’s counter-terror forces, was livid after Montague, who had grown tired of police failures to make progress on previous terror attack investigations, granted greater investigatory powers to the security services.
Mike Travis, who is promoted to acting Home Secretary in the wake of the bombing, then puts the Met back in charge of the investigations, pleasing Sampson.
It then appears she gives Travis a heads-up when MacDonald becomes a target of suspicion.
The Prime Minister/ Chief Whip Roger Penhaligon
No 10 is shown throughout the series as growing increasingly suspicious of Montague’s actions amid fears she is mounting a leadership challenge.
Roger Penhaligon is the Chief Whip as well as being Montague’s ex-husband – on several occasions, he demonstrates his hostile relationship with Montague.
Then there is the Home Secretary’s mysterious late-night visit to Chequers to meet with the PM.
Prior to the meeting, she demanded Budd call off all other protection officers on her case and that he drive her to Chequers himself.
Was this a request from the Home Secretary, or a demand from No 10?
We learned in episode five that No 10 was being blackmailed by Montague and she was in possession of a tablet loaded with “kompromat”.
David Budd
Could Budd, who is caught between his loyalty to his job and his anger at Montague for supporting military intervention overseas, have carried out the attack himself?
It is certainly possible especially when you factor in his enduring PTSD and nightmares, not to mention the horrifying moment when he choked Montague in the hotel.
Viewers were sent wild when Budd inspected the suspicious briefcase moments before the attack on Montague.
Despite giving it the all-clear and saying it contained nothing but documents, viewers were not shown the contents of the briefcase for themselves.
Could Budd have intentionally missed the bomb, or even planted it in there himself?
Chanel Dyson – the fired PA
One of the most interesting theories involves Chanel Dyson, Montague’s former PA who was fired early on in the series.
Clearly angered by her dismissal, she went to a reporter in the hope of smearing Montague and damaging her leadership aspirations.
Following this meeting, she was picked up on the street by a mysterious black Range Rover and, reluctantly, got inside.
Could Dyson be a double agent or have blackmailed into betraying her former boss?
Viewers were shown that Dyson has ties to organised crime, which would also be at severe risk if the RIPA-18 laws were passed.
Tahir Mahmood
Currently the chief suspect for police investigating the attack on Montague, Mahmood was only recently brought onto the Home Secretary’s team.
Moments before the explosion he made his way onto the stage near his boss and is assumed to have died in the blast.
He also received a telephone call just minutes prior to the blast from Rob MacDonald, which MacDonald claims was just him enquiring how the speech was going.
While police interrogated Nadia, they showed her a picture of Mahmood and asked her if she recognised him. While she said no, her eyes did appear to linger over his photo before flashing up to Budd’s.
The chances it was Mahmood have lessened slightly since it was confirmed the bomb was not in the briefcase he was carrying but under the stage.
However the bomb was only triggered once Mahmood went onto the stage and set of a pressure sensor.
Julia Montague
It sounds far-fetched, but what if the Home Secretary, desperate to push through her RIPA reforms, organised the blast herself to increase public and Parliamentary support for her heightened surveillance laws.
Her behaviour has been suspicious from an early stage. She was given an encrypted tablet device by the mysterious Richard Longcross in the hotel and has been reviewing secret dossiers on it.
Then there was her meeting at Chequers with the PM, as well as her desire to reinstate Budd to her protection unit.
Plus her desire to make a high-profile public appearance at St Michael’s flew in the face of the advice of her security detail, who were eager for her to avoid public places while the terror threat remained high.
Also, surely only someone high up in the intelligence community could have arranged for Budd’s house to be searched and replace the bullets in his gun with blanks.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
