Post Office scandal: New TV drama tells story of ‘historic miscarriage of justice’
The Post Office Horizon scandal has been dubbed the most "widespread miscarriage of justice in British legal history".
Now it has been made into a TV drama.
ITV's ‘Mr Bates vs The Post Office’ tells the story of how hundreds of local post office branch managers were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting over a 15 year period.
Many were sent to prison, left financially ruined and dealing with the long-term impacts of having a criminal record.
