Why Steven Moffat turned ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’ into an HBO show
“The Time Traveler’s Wife” into an HBO series because he’s a fan of the book.“It inspired the [‘Doctor Who’] episode ‘The Girl in the Fireplace,’” Moffat told The Post. “I had just read ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’, which I loved. And I said, ‘We should do an episode like that.’ And then, in [author Audrey Niffenegger’s] next book, she had a character watching ‘The Girl in the Fireplace’ on television.
