The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe is an ITV drama that tells the story of John Darwin, a man who faked his own death in a canoeing accident off the coast of Hartlepool to escape debts of over £700,000. The series, written by Chris Lang and directed by Richard Laxton, is largely based on fact but parts of it have been dramatized.
The real-life story of John and Anne Darwin’s attempts to scam thousands of people is the basis for the show. The series is based on court documents and police reports, with none of the Darwin family involved in the production. The events of the series are so bizarre they seem implausible, but the true story behind the drama is still a fascinating subject.
The documentary “The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe: The Real Story” is accompanied by Eddie Marsan and Monica Dolan, who lead the true-crime drama as John Darwin and his wife Anne. The documentary tells the bizarre true story of the Canoe, while the drama is based on court documents and police reports.
The first episode of The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe concluded on Wednesday night, drawing the unbelievable story of convicted fraudsters. The series is available on ITV and ITV Hub, and viewers can catch the dramatisation of this famous real-life story on ITV and ITV Hub.
