The Thief, His Wife And The Canoe (ITV), was a
brilliant drama born out of a true, but crazy, plot.
Eddie Marsan was impressive as John Darwin, but
the producers have found a gem in the excellent
Monica Dolan. Thoroughly recommended.
Mary Barks

Thoroughly compelling! Enjoyed so much. Monica
Dolan has to be congratulated as Mrs Darwin!
