Litvinenko

The first in a four-part drama based on the true story of the police investigation into the poisoning of the former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko.
In November 2006, the former KGB officer Litvinenko (David Tennant) is dying in a London hospital after being exposed to a mysterious radioactive substance. With only a few days left to live, he points the finger at the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. What follows is an investigation into the chemical attack on the streets of England’s capital, and a ten-year battle between Britain and Russia to find justice for his murder.
