FARMER Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) possesses a rare gift for divining water in The Water Diviner (BBC2, 10pm, tomorrow) which he uses to irrigate the property he shares with his wife and three sons.
When the boys head off to war and perish in the ill-fated clash with Turkish forces on the Gallipoli peninsula, Joshua sets out to honour a promise to his wife to bring their remains back home, but the military isn’t always sympathetic to his quest.
It’s a heartfelt tale of broken men and redemption based on the book of the same name, although it does occasionally fall victim to heavy-handed sentiment.
