Just watched: Stonehouse The outlandishly true story of rising Labour MP, John Stonehouse, who in 1974, found himself in a spot of financial and espionage bother. He is blackmailed—via a honeytrap—into spying for the Czechs, but also paid handsomely with large sums of money which he uses to splash out on a big house, fancy car and expensive private schools. Unfortunately for the Czechs, he turns out to be a horrible spy and can do no better than giving them information already broadcast on the television. When the gig dries up and the money stops flowing, John’s solution is to fake his own death by drowning on the shores of Miami Beach and then flee to Australia with the stolen identity of one of his recently deceased constituents. I have no idea what Stonehouse was like in real life, but here he is played to buffoonish perfection by Matthew McFadyen. Real life wife, Keeley Hawes, plays his fictional wife in a woefully underutilized role, in which she is fabulous anyway. This is three episodes of gloriously campy, tongue-in-cheek-fun, elevated by its exquisite ’70’s setting.
