Elements of BBC2 in fall: 'Zinc,' 'Einstein'

July 10, 2008 In "Einstein and Eddington," due to hit screens in the fall, Tennant will play Arthur Eddington alongside Andy Serkis (the "Lord of the Rings" movies), who plays Albert Einstein in a drama that explores the relationship between two pioneering scientists, one British and one German, against the political backdrop of Europe on the brink of World War I. In "Fallen," the network will commemorate the lives of British servicemen and women who died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in an epic three-hour documentary that examines their lives and the impact their death has made on their families and friends.
