THE Thief, His Wife and the Canoe viewers all have the same complaint about ITV's newest true drama. The series was criticised for the actors' "rubbish attempt" at a north-eastern accent.
Based on John Darwin's infamous fake death in 2002, the plot follows John (Eddie Marsan) and his wife Anne (Monica Dolan) being wrongfully jailed claiming John's life insurance.
They were jailed for the fraud, with the extent of the parents' deception shocking the world. The real-life couple spends more than six years in prison after staging John's death and escaping to Panama to start a new life.
The show explores the extent of Anne's culpability and how much she was forced to go along with her husband's plan. .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
