A young Surrey mum, jailed when she was eight weeks pregnant with her second child. An innocent Hampshire grandmother who felt she had "no choice" but to plead guilty to false accounting. A cricket-loving father-of-two who threw himself under a bus after being wrongly accused of theft.
These are just some of tragic stories of the more than 700 sub-postmasters and postmistresses who were convicted of crimes related to the Post Office's faulty Horizon IT system between 1998 and 2015, whose heartbreaking tales of bankruptcies, suicide attempts and jail sentences have been told in a new four-part ITV drama, Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
