David Tennant Lawyers Up

According to a number of sources, including EW, Dr. Who star David Tennant is taking the bar exam — fictionally that is — for a new series here in the good old US of A.

The show is called “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer” and it revolves around a top Chicago lawyer who suffers from panic attacks so he teaches his clients to represent themselves in court. Sounds like Monk in the courtroom and that could be great fun.

The pilot is being shot for NBC and they could use a big hit right now. I’d watch. Would you?
