ITV have released a teaser clip for the premiere of drama The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, based on the shocking true story of a man’s conspiracy to fake his own death in a canoeing accident to make a life insurance claim.
The ITV drama stars Monica Dolan and Eddie Marsan as real-life Hartlepool fraudsters Anne and John Darwin, and hits screens on Easter Sunday.
The four-part drama follows the pair in the lead-up to their fraud conviction after John attempted to fake his own death in 2002 in order to secure insurance money to pay off thousands of pounds of debt.
