Litvinenko EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE | BINGE
Alexander Litvinenko (David Tennant, Doctor Who), a former Russian spy, Kremlin critic and British citizen, lies in a London hospital bed, his condition deteriorating rapidly. Detectives are summoned to take his statement - he claims to have been poisoned and points the finger directly at President Vladimir Putin. Litvinenko dies just a few days later, surrounded by his family. When it's confirmed that he had been poisoned with polonium-210 - the deadliest substance known to man - the gravity of the situation becomes clear. Facing an unprecedented chemical attack in the heart of London, the police race to seal off potentially contaminated sites, while detectives plunge into a high-stakes murder investigation, tracking their elusive suspects from London to Moscow. In a shadowy world of political power games and fragile international relations, and alongside his widow Marina's courageous and dignified fight for the truth, can the detectives find justice for Litvinenko's devastated family?
