Take one con man. Add a dash of revenge. Then season with a little dark comedy, and what you have is the BBC’s much anticipated new show, The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies.
The fictional drama tells the story of Alice, whose husband vanished years ago with all her money – except, one day she spots him walking around Oxford under a new name. Now, he’s a successful scientist, and he has author Cheryl in his sights. What follows is a maelstrom of chaos, sneak missions and half-truths as Alice attempts to get her revenge.
