Mr Bates vs The Post Office
Created by James Strong
On ITV1
A tightly wound four-episode dramatization of institutional injustice that builds toward vindication, balancing the weight of wrongful conviction against the catharsis of exposure.
The story of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history, where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
