Gem suddenly change programming for Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard

Gem have cancelled The Closer tonight, to be replaced with the Whitney Houston Movie The Bodyguard. Rizzoli and Isles will follow at 11.10pm and then Friends.

The Bodyguard is about a pop singer who has been receiving threatening notes, and her manager hires a bodyguard known for his good work. The bodyguard ruffles the singer’s feathers and most of her entourage by tightening security more than they feel is necessary. The bodyguard is haunted by the fact that he was on Reagan’s secret service staff but wasn’t there to prevent the attack by Hinckley. Eventually the bodyguard and the singer start an affair, and she begins to believe his precautions are necessary when the stalker strikes close to home. It also stars Kevin Costner.
