Boxing Clever: smoking hot David Tennant in Des — and Fantasy Ireland

Boxing Clever: smoking hot David Tennant in Des — and Fantasy Ireland

David Tennant stars as serial killer, Dennis Nilsen, in Des

David Tennant makes me sick. That amount of talent in one person is all the proof you need that God doesn’t exist. Or if she does, David Tennant is probably her son.

His latest outing has him playing Dennis Nilsen in Des (Virgin Media One, Monday 10pm and Virgin Media Player.) Nilsen, aka Des, was a brutal serial killer in 1980s London, strangling as many as 16 young men, stashing the bodies around his house and decapitating some of the corpses so he could boil their faces beyond recognition. Not the kind of guy you’d like to watch for three hours in a true-crime drama. Unless David Tennant gets his hands on it, and you can’t take your eyes off the screen.
