The Luminaries
BBC1, SUNDAY 19 JULY, 9PM
Credit to everyone involved for even attempting to dramatise Eleanor Catton’s epic and fiendishly complex 850-page novel, written from multiple characters’ points of view. It hasn’t always been easy to follow, but it’s been a fascinating ride. In this series finale, Anna Wetherell (Eve Hewson) is tried for murder, and her alibi Emery (Himesh Patel) is missing. So, Lydia (Eva Green) hosts a séance to make contact with him. HHH Boyd Hilton
