"David Tennant and Emily Watson have signed up to star in new BBC Two drama The Politician&amp;#039;s Husband. The three-part serial is written by Paula Milne (White Heat) and has been described as a &amp;quot;bookend&amp;quot; to her award-winning 1995 drama The Politician&amp;#039;s Wife.   Former Doctor Who star Tennant will play Aiden Hoynes, a senior cabinet minister and political rising star, while Watson - who recently won a BAFTA for her role in ITV&amp;#039;s Appropriate Adult - will play his wife and fellow politician Freya Gardner. The Politician&amp;#039;s Husband - directed by Boardwalk Empire&amp;#039;s Simon Cellan Jones - will explore the complexities of a political marriage and the consequences when a wife becomes more successful than her husband. &amp;quot;It is said that all power corrupts but the power balance within a marriage can be unspoken and subtle whereas the power games in politics are more overt and manipulatory,&amp;quot; said Milne. &amp;quot;The drama explores the personal realm of a political marriage played against the ruthless hubris of Westminster politics, and what can happen when those two realms collide.&amp;quot; Ed Stoppard (Upstairs Downstairs), Jack Shepherd (WyCliffe), Roger Allam (The Thick of It) and Oscar Kennedy (Great Expectations) will also star. The Politician&amp;#039;s Husband will be produced for BBC Two by Daybreak Pictures and begins shooting this month in London. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
