The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe

Reviews

  • A very British crime story, superbly told. There's nothing more intriguing than ordinary people doing extraordinary, or in this case, utterly witless, things. It invites the audience to ask questions of themselves, what they might do in different circumstances, and that leads you to empathy, morality, secrets, lies and all the good stuff. Britain currently leads the way in real-life crime dramas like this, and it should be celebrated .

  • This will stay with you long after the episodes end as you ponder all the questions the nation still has. It's quirky, off-beat, hard-hitting and truly memorable. Tied in with a jaunty soundtrack and ITV has really pulled off a winner.
