January 16, 2023 - 09:54 GMT Lily Waddell John Stonehouse's real-life family have spoken out about the drama starring Matthew Macfayden saying:"It's really disappointing." The real-life family of MP John Stonehouse have delivered their verdict on the new ITV drama starring Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hayes.
The lawyer felt especially let down with the Old Bailey courtroom trial being"overlooked". The Stonehouse scandal was on the frontpage of every newspaper at the time and sent ripples across the world with the extraordinary story of a politician who walked into the sea and vanished without a trace. "The most shocking [part of the story] is the callous way John abandoned his family," great nephew Julian told HELLO! “He was prepared to do what he did to disappear."Speaking to HELLO!, the author laid bare the heartache the Stonehouse family endured as a consequence of his great uncle’s actions and expressed his own disappointment with the ITV series.
Why was the courtroom drama side of the production a disappointment for you? It's a whole series of things. I think that the drama of the courtroom basically encapsulated all that had gone on… As part of Stonehouse’s defence, he attacked various members of the family and friends, including my father. There was a very dramatic time where they locked horns in court where he was cross-examining my father directly.
It was on the front page of every newspaper and it was like that for three years. It was on all the news programmes. It just didn’t go away. I remember coming home, stepping through photographers, they were crazy times. For a child of nine, you are very impressionable. Life seemed a little bit boring after all of that.
