David Tennant on 'Doctor Who' And His Sexy New Show
David Tennant has traveled far from the Tardis.
In the two-part miniseries "Spies of Warsaw" (9 p.m. Et Wednesday, BBC America), Tennant has left behind his "Doctor Who" trench coat and traveled back in time to don the colorful uniform of a French army officer circa 1937.
In "Spies," Tennant plays Col. Jean-Francois Mercier, a French intelligence officer in Warsaw who meets Anna Skarbek, a League of Nations official played by Janet Montgomery ("Made in Jersey"). They are instantly attracted to each other, but Mercier's clandestine investigations dig up disturbing information about the Third Reich's preparations for war, and all of his relationships -- personal and professional -- become fraught with danger.
Mercier "is a career soldier. He was decorated for what he did in the First World War and for what he's done since, and he brings all that with him," said Tennant, who played the lead role on "Doctor Who" for three seasons.
