Acorn Pre Order – The Darker Side of David Tennant in the Escape Artist

LONDON - Oct. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- David Tennant returns to screens in yet another riveting crime thriller, The Escape Artist. Now Tennant’s legions of fans, and fans of great British crime TV in general, can per-order their copy of the BBC’s accompanying DVD; and get capture The Escape Artist before an official release of 18 November 2013.

In The Escape Artist, Tennant continues his post-Doctor Who career with another blistering performance in a thriller; following his turn in one of the biggest television events of the year: ITV’s Broadchurch.

Here, the Scottish actor plays Will Burton, a junior barrister with more talent, intellect, wit and charm than any of his peers; one that has yet to lose a single case. Burton has a seemingly perfect life, complete with wife, child and idyllic country home.

This life has been built on his ability to defend clients in seemingly impossible situations and get them off the hook. But when his talent helps the prime suspect in an horrific murder trial to walk free, his brilliance comes back to haunt him in frightening and unexpected ways.

The Escape Artist is written by David Wolstencroft, the creator of the BAFTA award winning TV spy drama Spooks. The three-part series also features an all-star case which includes Sophie Okonedo as rival lawyer Maggie Gardner, Extras star Ashley Jensen as Burton’s wife Kate and Toby Kebbell in a chilling turn as shady criminal Liam Foyle.
