"I'm going to meet Jed in a couple of weeks, to have a chat and see what's in his brilliant brain.
"So I'm like, what can happen next? You know, with David. Because he had a hell of a couple months there. Where do you go with this guy?"
"I also thought, maybe it's going to be like 'American Horror Story' where, in the second series, it's a whole different incarnation of it, and I'm a royal and Keeley is on my protection team.
"And you get all the rest of the actors back, and we all do different things. But who knows what's in Jed's mind. I'm very keen to hear.
"Also I think, you know, David Budd, he walks about London with a bomb on. I mean, everyone definitely knows his face now. He can't really slip back into police work again. What's his life like after that?"
"Yeah, a really contained little adventure. I think that's a brilliant thing.
"It's great, you've gone on a big old journey during that. And you go, 'Right, OK, that's great. Peace.'
"But I suppose it's the landscape of TV; maybe we're moving away from, 'Oh, it's good, let's make nine series of it.'
"Are we going, 'Oh, it's good, let's do something different next?' I'm just really glad it got people watching television, nationally. You know, lots of people watching the same thing."
'Bodyguard' was watched by more than 17 million over 28 days during its time on the BBC, making the programme the largest audience for a TV show that wasn't a sporting or national event since 2010.
