Boisie Hannington is a key character in ITV’s Joan and some people might be curious about if he’s based on a real person.
This year we’ve been spoilt for choice when it comes to true crime dramas and ITV’s six-part series Joan is the latest one to have sparked viewers’ curiosity. Following in the wake of the release of Netflix’s Monsters, which focuses on a high-profile US murder case, Joan instead delves into the life of Britain’s most notorious diamond thief, Joan Hannington. The Joan true story is shocking and heart-wrenching as we see Joan (played by Sophie Turner) striving to make money to regain custody of her daughter and give her a better life in 1980s London.
