Heads up:Emotional: Child endangerment, community betrayal — genuinely distressing.·Triggers: Depicts real case; media harassment of working-class family.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Sheridan Smith spent time with real Julie Bushby, who called the portrayal 'spot on' — though she initially refused to meet, fearing exploitation.

Cultural

The Matthews case was overshadowed by the McCann disappearance; this drama finally centered working-class victims of media frenzy rather than just mocking them.
