Alexander Litvinenko details to DI Hyatt and DS Dawson how he's been poisoned, and the details surrounding why he's been poisoned.
I was keen to see how this was going to differ from The BBC's adaptation of The Salisbury Poisonings, a different, but very similar story, from the off it is very much the story from Litvinenko's point of view.
As ITV have done with several real life crime dramas of late, it feels very respectful, very factual, I understand that it had a graphic at the beginning saying that several scenes had been dramatised,
It's staggering to see just how much Tennant looks like Litvinenko, those haunting images of him wrapped in a blanket, in that hospital bed, chilling.
Quality acting from Neil Maskell and co, but once again it's another masterclass from David Tennant, The Doctor Who star is simply phenomenal, there aren't enough plaudits to apply to him, his acting is just captivating.
8/10.
