ITV viewers appeared to be rather disgruntled with the new series The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe as they claimed the character's accents were not a true representation of the area, but the writer behind the programme has since hit back. The real-life drama which kicked off on Sunday night (April 17) told the story of John Darwin's infamous fake death in 2002 that saw him and his wife Anne lie about his true whereabouts in order to claim £250,000 in life insurance.Although many were gripped by the intense portrayal, some viewers couldn't help but point out the fact that the John played by Eddie Marsan and Anne played by Monica Dolan spoke with "Geordie" accents.Given the fact that John and Anne lived most of their lives in Hartlepool, spectators found it incredibly strange.Defending the move, ITV writer Chris Lang has spoken about the accuracy of the accents and where the couple originated from.Jumping on Twitter, the writer penned: "It's lovely people are so passionate about their own accents! John & Anne of course weren't from Seaton Carew, they only moved there in 2002."He added: "They were both born near Blackhall & over the next five decades lived and worked in (to name a few) Newcastle, Chester Le Street & Durham."However, there was also another issue that he quickly pointed before the episode aired.He tweeted: "I'll say this now, and Ill say it just once, don't @ me that it's a bleedin' kayak not a canoe."Taking to Twitter, annoyed viewers aired their thoughts while labelling it as "insulting".One person wrote: "The thief, his wife and a canoe, so, why is it that ITV think people from Teesside speak with a Geordie accent.
