The BBC Media Center has released an interview with the former 10th Doctor talking about his newest endeavor the "Spies of Warsaw"
David Tennant plays Jean-Francois Mercier
What attracted you to Spies of Warsaw?
Initially the attraction came because I know Richard Fell, the executive producer, and Coky Giedroyc, the director: Coky from the [BBC musical comedy drama] Blackpool, and Richard from The Quatermass Experiment, which was an extraordinary (and rather terrifying) live TV drama that the BBC filmed a few years ago. So, getting an approach from both of them – you kind of think, OK, I’d better take this quite seriously. I’d better have a good look at this. Also, the main character seemed like quite an unusual role for me. So that was an exciting prospect, too.
Were you a fan of Alan Furst, the US novelist who wrote the original book?
