David Tennant - Spies Of Warsaw
The Observer - "Whether playing Hamlet, Doctor Who or a French military attache, David Tennant inhabits a role so engagingly you simply have to watch."

David Tennant played the lead role of Jean Francois Mercier in an adaption of the Alan Furst's book The Spies Of Warsaw which was dramatised by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.

Janet Montgomery played Anna and the supporting cast included Ann Eleonora Jørgensen, Anton Lesser, Burn Gorman, Tuppence Middleton and Julian Harries.

Spies of Warsaw was a Fresh Pictures production co-produced by Apple Film Production for BBC Four and TVP in association with ARTE France and BBC Worldwide.

Spies Of Warsaw covered the years 1933 to 1943 and was a portrait of subjugated people who tried to resist the suffocating inevitability of Hitler’s regime.

Spies Of Warsaw was screened on Wednesdays 9th and 16th January 2013 in the UK on BBC Four at 9pm both weeks and was repeated on BBC HD on the following Saturdays at 11pm. It aired in the US on 3rd and 10th April 2013. Other countries (such as France) will also screen it. In Poland it started being aired on Friday 11th January (but was dubbed into Polish and was in 4 parts over consecutive weeks).
