Doctor Who
David Tennant famously played the role of the Tenth Doctor in the BBC's hugely popular sci-fi series.

David joined the show in 2005, replacing Christopher Eccleston. He dazzled viewers with his phenomenal acting alongside Billie Piper and Catherine Tate.
Jodie Whittaker currently plays the role of Doctor Who and is the first woman to do so. She took over from Peter Capaldi in the 11th series in 2018 and is expected to leave the role following the 13th series.

Released in 2020, the three-part television drama miniseries revisits the 1983 arrest of Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen. The true-crime series was well received by critics who described the show as a "sensitive, finely worked drama showing the unrelentingly bleak reality of the monstrous narcissist". Critics praised the actor's interpretation of Nilsen, deeming his performance as "one of his best in an impeccable career".
Broadchurch
Much to the disappointment of its die-hard fans, the third and final series of Broadchurch aired in 2017. From day dot, the hit detective series had the entire nation hooked.
