ITV's recent TV series, Mr Bates vs The Post Office, has been a major success and viewers have been gripped by the incredible true story about a real miscarriage of justice in recent British history.
Earlier this month, ITV released a brand new dramatisation about a real-life scandal titled, Mr Bates vs. The Post Office. Viewers were shocked by the mistreatment and injustices faced by the innocent subpostmasters during the scandal and the show caused an outcry from the British public. The ITV drama has caused major waves in the UK. Since its release, government ministers have made statements about how they plan to compensate the victims, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak revealed there would be mass exonerations for the subpostmasters, and former CEO of the Post Office Paula Vennells has handed her CBE back.
