Is Black Doves based on a true story?

Black Doves isn't copy-paste a true story, but it inspired by a spy scandal that actually happened!

"I had been reading as well about those spy cops, those guys, and they infiltrated that environmental group and had ended up having children with it," Joe Barton said in an interview with Radio Times. "I was like, 'Okay, that idea, that duplicitousness of having a pretend marriage lasting years and years and years and then it’s disappeared.' That was really part of the inspiration for it as well."
