The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe writer Chris Lang has shared his "unexpected joy" after tuning into Channel 4's Gogglebox and seeing the cast's reaction to his latest television series. Chris, who is also the creator of Unforgotten, is behind the latest gripping drama that depicted the real-life story of John and Anne Darwin.
The ITV series, which launched on Sunday, April 17, focused on how Anne 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 series was told from the viewpoint of Anne as viewers found out how her husband's decision impacted her own morality. Following the final episode, writer Chris thanked fans on Twitter and wrote: "Thank you for going on the TTHWATC journey. I love writing stories that end in a very different place to where they started & that allow us to at least try to understand human nature a little better. Your responses suggest we achieved that."
