DAVID TENNANT

LONDON — (AP) — David Tennant remembers seeing in the news the image of Alexander Litvinenko lying in a hospital bed. Tennant says they were motivated to get it right and felt the “weight of responsibility” of recent history. Litvinenko died in London after drinking tea laced with radioactive material in a hotel with two Russian men. Marina Litvinenko also inspired the dedication of those working on the series. Tennant practiced a Russian accent and phrases virtually with a dialect coach ahead of filming.
