THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE, 9PM, SKY ATLANTIC/NOW
DON’T get hung up on the time travel logic in Steven Moffat’s six-part take on Audrey Niffenegger’s bestselling novel — Moffat might know a thing or two about time travel from his spell writing Doctor Who, but that’s not what matters here. It’s the relationship at the heart of this headspinning drama that’s important, between Clare and her husband, Henry (Game Of Thrones’s Rose Leslie and Divergent’s Theo James, pictured), a time traveller who can’t control when he travels. The main constant in his life is his wife, and the strength of the story is that their relationship is threedimensional and far from comfortable. For instance, Clare first meets Henry when she is six and he is an adult who knows he is going to marry her — and he’s naked when he arrives, because that’s how time travel works. That’s a tricky scene to navigate, but this show manages it and, from that point, a magical and unique story follows.
