The Sentinels: WWI Drama with Sci-Fi Twist on BBC Four

BBC Four's 9pm slot tonight features The Sentinels, a riveting first world war drama with a sci-fi twist, based on a French graphic novel series. The story follows Gabriel Ferraud (Louis Peres), who, after being seriously wounded on the front line, is offered a top-secret treatment in Paris that could either kill him or turn him into a 'super soldier.' The plot thickens as questions arise about German knowledge of the trial and the true purpose behind creating the Sentinels.
