Doctor Who star David Tennant is due to star in the US version of Broadchurch.

The actor, who played DI Alec Harding in ITV’s Broadchurch earlier this year, is set to appear in the US adaptation being made for Fox.

According to Variety, Tennant will portray a similar character to DI Harding, an American detective who will lead the investigation on a case of a shocking murder that puts a town under scrutiny.

The Scottish actor has previously adopted an American accent when he starred in US legal drama Rex is Not Your Lawyer, but the show did not get commissioned past its pilot stage.

Fox announced it would be producing a US version of the Broadchurch in August. Filming is due to begin in January, with the series set to air at the end of 2014.

Here is David's American accent -
