THE CHILD IN TIME S U N D AY A P R I L 1 S T • 8 P M Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) returns to PBS in a new drama, The Child in Time, on Sun, April 1 at 8pm. The program depicts every parent’s worst nightmare, following Stephen Lewis (Cumberbatch) and his wife Julie Lewis (Kelly Macdonald; Boardwalk Empire) as they search for their fouryear-old daughter, Kate (Beatrice White), after she mysteriously disappears during a shopping outing. With the gentlest touch of the fantastical, this riveting story explores the twin themes of the title - childhood and time - leading to a conclusion that is as surprising as it is gratifying.
