When Julia Stonehouse tuned in to ITV’s new drama, she was horrified by what she saw.
Three-part blockbuster Stonehouse – watched by an estimated six million viewers each night this week – is based on the life of her MP father John, who attempted and failed to fake his own death after a mental breakdown in the 1970s.
Julia called the drama a “vicious attack” on her family that is “littered with falsehoods” about her father, who was mentally ill and addicted to mind-altering prescription drugs.
