The life and times of disgraced Labour minister John Stonehouse has been dramatised for ITV by acclaimed writer John Preston with BAFTA and Emmy award-winning actor Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Quiz) in the leading role and co-starring Keeley Hawes (Honour, It's A Sin) as Stonehouse’s wife Barbara.

The three-part drama, directed by BAFTA nominated Jon S. Baird (Stan & Ollie, Vinyl, Filth) with BritBox International as co-production partners, relates how Stonehouse, a high-flying member of Harold Wilson’s Government, vanished from the beach of a large luxury hotel in Florida in November 1974, leaving a neatly folded pile of clothes as he swam into the sea, intent on faking his own death.

Strictly embargoed until 8th December 2022.
