EPISODE 1

The Limping Assassin

It’s the Commonwealth Conference in Scotland, but there’s intelligence that suggests a planned assassination attempt on The Queen. Taking his new role very seriously, Hubble soon manages to upset EVERYONE as he haphazardly carries out his security checks. An attractive woman spells trouble as he gives away vital security information - and soon has to go all out to save her Majesty.
EPISODE 2

The Siege of Blenheim Square

It’s the Queen’s birthday, but Hubble soon stumbles into calamity and is forced to take a few days break at a health spa - where he comes across a familiar face and his planned relaxation is suddenly shelved. Hubble returns to duty in time to oversee Her Majesty’s visit to an Oxford Museum, which is far from straightforward.
EPISODE 3

Season 1, Episode 3

A routine shopping trip for a Prince turns into a potentially dangerous siege after a misunderstanding between Hubble and a member of the Prince’s protection team.

EPISODE 4

The Royal Art of Blackmail

There's been a burglary at the Palace and Hubble is horrified to be shown CCTV footage of himself "helping" the thieves get away. He is sent to investigate and meets Sir Ambrose Hamilton, Surveyor of The Queen's Pictures and is immediately suspicious that it's an inside job.
EPISODE 5

The Perils of Attraction

In order to flush out a mole at 10 Downing Street, Hubble adopts a new persona and goes undercover as a woman. But his performance is perhaps a little too convincing when Roddy Finch, the office lothario, takes a shine to him.

The Princess is on her hen do. Hubble is put in charge of security and loses her after an aggressive assault from a gaggle of hen-nighters.
