In the series, comedian Richard Gadd plays a fictionalised version of himself who gets stalked by a lonely and mentally ill woman called Martha, whom he meets while working at a pub.

It comes after Richard Gadd urged Baby Reindeer fans to stop trying to uncover the identities of the real people who inspired the Netflix show.
Fiona Harvey said she got “bog standard” grades in her law degree from Aberdeen University. “I got alright grades, not top of the year or anything,” she said.
When challenged by Morgan, she would not specify the exact grade and claimed she could not remember as the course involved 13 subjects. She claimed she went on to study politics after her law course.
