Black Doves has arrived on Netflix to huge fanfare, and viewers will instantly want to know if it's based on genuine experiences - here's where the inspiration for the show came from.
Imagine John Wick meeting Love Actually - the potential spawn would be Black Doves. Pull Keira Knightley from Love Actually and its London backdrop and turn her into a professional spy, and you've got the slightly festive, action packed series of the year. Helen Webb (Keira Knightley) is a quick-witted, dedicated wife and mother she's also moonlighting as a professional spy. For a decade, Helen has been passing her politician husband’s secrets to the Black Doves, the organisation who sent her undercover.
