Among the millions of viewers lapping up every second of the Netflix hit Baby Reindeer are a select few for whom, in particular, the TV series is sending shivers down the spine.
For two weeks now, the seven-part mini series has held the number one spot in the Netflix charts, not least because the dark tale of the struggling stand-up comic and the woman who stalked him is based on a true story even more disturbing than the events portrayed on screen.
But, as the Mail can reveal, Gadd's self-penned show has also resurrected disturbing memories for those who have their own stories to tell about the woman. 'All hell broke loose,' says one who was there that day at Castlemilk Labour Club in Glasgow which has since burnt down. Over four and a half years, Gadd says he received 41,071 emails, 744 tweets, letters totalling 106 pages and 350 hours of voicemail messages from the older woman, whom he calls Martha in the show
The most prominent of those she targeted was the late Donald Dewar, who became Scotland's inaugural First Minister in 1999 and died in 2000 aged 63. 'Nobody could believe it when she even tried to put herself forward as a candidate for the Scottish Parliament and Westminster. But everybody knew what they were dealing with.'
Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd has been accused of 'unwisely' dating transgender actress Reece Lyons, above, at the same time as she also auditioned for a partBut Mrs Wray dismissed her within days after becoming alarmed at her behaviour and later became so concerned that she issued her staff with panic alarms. She says that, at one stage, the woman made a death threat against her late husband.
In real life, the woman falsely accused Laura and her husband of assaulting their son, Frankie, who was born in 2002 with a rare chromosomal disorder. The final straw, Laura applied for a restraining order, which was granted.While the woman had given Laura a hard-luck story, she was raised in the picturesque village near Stirling, where she descends from a long line of livestock farmers stretching back more than a century.
She has also posted photographs of herself in academic dress taken in Aberdeen's Seaton Park after her graduation ceremony. She says it took place in 1990 by which time she would already have been 25. It's not clear why she was so old when she graduated. This ties in with an account given to the Mail this week by a pensioner who lived next door to the woman for nearly five years in Glasgow who said she never went home and never received visitors.
'But then she started knocking on my door all the time. At first she asked for sugar, then it was teabags. She used to come up with all sorts of strange excuses for knocking. It got so bad that I'd have to pretend I wasn't in. I'd even park my car down the street so she couldn't see it.''Her flat was a shambles. You couldn't get inside for all the paper and books and the dirty dishes piled up. It was horrendous.
'I remember hearing her screaming down the phone at people and thinking I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her. It was terrible. I was very wary of her after that. She was volatile.' In the Netflix series, she is shown walking up the bar and boasting that she was a high-flying lawyer while claiming that she couldn't afford to buy a drink.Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning continued to ride the wave of Baby Reindeer's success on Netflix as they attended the photo call for the screening in LA yesterday
