Drama: Biographical

BBC One - The Hoax

Drama based on the true story of novelist Clifford Irving.

Drama based on the true story of Clifford Irving (Richard Gere), a novelist who convinces a publisher to accept a fake autobiography of reclusive billionaire aviator Howard Hughes.

The true story of how novelist Clifford Irving successfully sold his entirely made-up biography of tycoon Howard Hughes for millions of dollars.

In truth not authorised at all, but containing facts Irving unscrupulously went to great lengths to acquire, it still goes to publication. Obsessed by the project, and Hughes, Irving has to bravely call everybody's bluff several times in order to reach his bounty - the cheque.
