This Documentary of John Stonehouse, a government minister in Wilson's cabinet who went on the run and disappeared himself is truly unremarkable and touching the boredom meter bigly.
And also a bit of a muddle. With enormous holes. And maybe those holes were never resolved in real life.
Surely a forensic audit would have sorted the excessive spending, surely the wife would have copped to the said spending going way beyond their means: boarding schools, huge manors of houses, etc.?
There should have been floodlights around his corruption and his myriad bank accounts.
There was no one to engage with apart from the harried Harold Everyone was dislikeable and self-centred.
Wilson and his sidekick Betty, frantic to squelch the fraudulent idiot (and he does come across as a simpleton most of the time) are wonderfully cast and give it all they've got.. It leaves more questions than it gives more answer.
5/10. Extraordinarily ho-hum.
