Netflix’s runaway hit series Baby Reindeer has been one of the most talked-about shows of 2024, but why are Martha’s email messages in the show spelt so poorly?Created by and starring Richard Gadd, the show brings his real-life experience of being stalked and sexually abused to screens, having previously told the story on stage in his acclaimed one-man show.Gadd plays a fictionalised version of himself named Donny who is obsessively stalked by a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning) after he befriends her in a pub.As their unusual relationship begins to develop, we see some of the litany of emails sent from Martha to Donny printed on the screen, invariably with very poor spelling.Reflecting the real-life circumstances of the events in the show, the email correspondences we see on screen from Martha are taken verbatim from Gadd’s actual stalker.In total, the woman sent Gadd a total of 41,041 emails, over 350 hours of voicemail messages, 106 pages of letters and many social media messages.It is not known exactly why the real Martha’s messages were composed with such poor spelling and grammar, although it could be said that it reflects her psychological state at the time.Others have speculated that the messages could be the result of dyslexia or a series of manic episodes.
