In a Q&A hosted by Boyd Hilton, Alexander’s wife Marina Litvinenko was joined by co-producer Richard Kerbaj and director Jim Field Smith to discuss the making of the series.
In their discussion they speak about finding the right cast and the responsibility of making a series based on real people and events. Marina also gives her first-hand experience of the events surrounding her husband's death.
Livinenko starts on Thursday 15th December on ITVX, starring David Tennant, Margarita Levieva, Mark Bonnar and Neil Maskell.
