ITV's gripping new drama The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe aired tonight.
In the first episode, viewers met John and Anne Darwin, a couple plagued by debt. Facing bankruptcy John decided to fake his own death using his canoe, much to the horror of his wife.
They successfully pulled it off and John went into hiding while Anne consoled her sons. However, some local viewers took issue with the accents of the characters.
