ITV drama Stonehouse had viewers hooked by the end of Monday night's shocking opening episode - and it's no surprise fans are keen to know all about the real former Labour MP.
Starring Succession actor Matthew Macfadyen and Bodyguard star Keeley Hawes, the three-part series explores the rise and fall of John Stonehouse, who faked his own death in 1974.
The public and media presumed the 49-year-old politician had drowned at sea or had been eaten by sharks after a pile of his clothes were left on Miami beach.
