Not only do we get David Tennant (Doctor Who) as Hamlet, but Patrick Stewart plays Claudius in Hamlet from the BBC. They adapted it for TV from the modern dress Royal Shakespeare Company production. It appears on PBS' Great Performances tonight. Here's a taste:

Einstein and Eddington is a British single drama produced by Company Pictures and the BBC, in association with HBO. It featured David Tennant as British scientist Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, and Andy Serkis as Albert Einstein. This is the story of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, his relationship with Eddington and the introduction of this theory to the world, against the backdrop of the Great War.
The Doctor is IN! David Tennant who played Doctor Who in the famous BBC series, is being tapped to play a laywer on a new series. Can the Doctor save NBC? Hey, importing a Brit worked well for Hugh Laurie and House!
Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC's long-running sci-fi series "Doctor Who," is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC's hourlong pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer."
Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, "Rex" centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
David Tennant also co-starred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Plus, David is Scottish, although I doubt we'll get the treat of his native accent.
