MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! The Escape Artist
Sundays, June 15-22, 2014, 9:00-10:30 p.m. ET

David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) stars as a brilliant defense lawyer with a storybook family and a potent nickname, “The Escape Artist,” for his ability to spring the obviously guilty. Then he gets a trial that changes his life forever. This gripping legal thriller costars Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as the hero’s rival, along with a courtroom full of ambitious attorneys and one very unnerving defendant.

Other UK treats for PBS viewers include the second seasons of Last Tango In Halifax and Endeavour and comedy series Vicious starring Ian McKellern and Derek Jacobi.
