David Tennant to narrate new documentary Trust Me - I'm A Robot

It has been announced today that David Tennant will be the narrator of a new documentary called Trust Me - I'm A Robot which will be broadcast on Channel 4.

Trust Me - I'm A Robot is part of a new Rise Of The Robots documentary season on Channel 4.

The official description for Trust Me - I'm A Robot is:
'David Tennant narrates this warm-hearted documentary giving a fascinating insight into a future of robotics we've never seen before.

We humans have a cultural fear of robots, bu eccentric Canadian robot inventor and puppeteer David McGoran is on a mission to fix this, by making a new kind of machine that moves like we do. A lovable robot that even people on the street will open up to.

Adopting the same techniques as Disney and Pixar, David designs a robot using the power of movement, to trick us into believing it has life.

Over the course of the film, David and his team attempt to create a machine that anyone would believe and trust and even let into their lives. But the real test comes when David abandons his new robot on the street of Bristol. Programmed with a simple quest - to find out more about humans - his robot films its own extraordinary adventure, as it tries to connect with humans in a whole new way.

Can David's little robot convince people it's real, and will they be brave enough to open up and tell it something about themselves?'

Trust Me - I'm A Robot is produced by Tuesday's Child. It is executive produced by Steph Harris and directed by James W. Newton.

No broadcast date has been announced yet.
