A gruelling initiation into one of the UK's toughest bodyguard training centres

The Excel Security Close Protection School is Britain's toughest, most intensive bodyguard training centre. Cutting Edge follows the gruelling initiation of a group of likely contenders (men and women) whose glamorous bodyguard fantasies are given a rude, reality shock by the likes of trainer Jim Brown.

“Ok darling?” Brown barks. “What you gonna do? What you gonna do? I’ve asked you to load! You don’t know what you’re doing, do you?” After signing an alarming disclaimer, the group practises anti-ambush drills, weapon training, hostage retrieval exercises and simulated crises all to the accompaniment of howls of derision and a stream of insults from the trainers. Cutting Edge probes the bullet-proof facade of the bodyguard and finds out what it takes to make it in this challenging profession.
