David Tennant has praised the script for his upcoming television film The Busby Babes, claiming that the program will hit an emotional chord with viewers.

The drama will tell the story of the 1958 Munich air disaster in which a number of young Manchester United players and journalists were killed during a failed airplane take-off.

Tennant will star as Manchester United assistant manager Jimmy Murphy and said that he took on the role due to the strength of the script, despite his lack of interest in the sport.

“I am famously not that much of a football fan at all, so when the script arrived I didn’t think that it was going to be for me,” Tennant told the Sunday Mail. “However, it really knocked me back and the emotional power of the story is what hooked me.

“The way I saw it was if it was affecting me, then it’s one that is going to get to everyone.”

The Busby Babes has yet to receive an official release date from the BBC.

United is based on the true story of Manchester United’s legendary “Busby Babes”, the youngest side ever to win the Football League, the 1958 Munich Air Crash that claimed eight of the their number and the extraordinary spirit of a city that rebuilt the team in the wake of the disaster.

David Tennant will star as coach Jimmy Murphy, alongside Jack O’Connell (Skins, Dive) as Bobby Charlton, the youngest of the Babes, and Sam Claflin (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Any Human Heart) as star player Duncan Edwards. Manager Matt Busby (the source of the team’s nickname) is to be confirmed. The film draws on first-hand interviews with the survivors and their families to tell the inspirational story of a team and community overcoming terrible tragedy.

The Munich Air Crash killed 22 of the 44 passengers onboard, including supporters, journalists and embassy staff.

Simon Heath, Executive Producer, World Productions, says: “Chris Chibnall has written an authentic and moving version of this heartbreaking story, which with the help of a great cast, we hope will be a fitting tribute to those who survived and those who lost their lives at Munich.”

Peter Salmon, Director, BBC North, says: “This was a tragedy that touched the lives of many people in Manchester both directly and indirectly. With its superbly talented cast and powerful script, I am proud that BBC North is supporting this project.”

United starts filming later this month in and around the North East of England. Written by Chris Chibnall (Law & Order: UK, Camelot) and directed by James Strong (Dr Who, Hustle), the film is produced by Julia Stannard (The History Boys, The Government Inspector) and executive produced by World Productions Simon Heath (Larkin: Love Again, Hancock & Joan) and Polly Hill for the BBC. Commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning and Janice Hadlow, Controller, BBC Two.

United is backed by Lip Sync Productions, Content Films, BBC North and the BBC.

World Productions is entering its 20th year with this new film. During that time, the company has made over 250 hours of drama, including Ahead Of The Class, This Life, The Cops, Party Animals and Outlaws.

Thanks to an awesome source, there is a new David project around the corner. However, since there is only so little information on it, we’re still classifying it under ‘rumored’ just in case.

According to Edward Thomas’ CV (Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane, Sherlock, etc) on Creative Media Management David will be starring in a period drama called “United”. It is directed by James Strong, who is also known for his directing for Doctor Who.

We’ll keep you all informed as we learn more about it!
