The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe final episode: When is it and how to watch?

ITV's The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe has had viewers gripped since it launched on Sunday, April 17. The new true-life drama, penned by Unforgotten creator Chris Lang, has a star-studded cast list, including Eddie Marsden, Monica Dolan and Karl Pilkington. You can read more on the cast here.

The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe focuses on how Anne Darwin became complicit in her husband’s deception as she started to convince the world, their family and friends, the police and insurance companies, that he had gone missing in 2002 whilst canoeing off the coast of Seaton Carew in Cleveland, where the couple owned two large houses with panoramic views of the sea.

The mini-series, however, is made up of just four episodes which have aired consecutively over the week. It means the final instalment is fast approaching.
