Wow, what a rollercoaster ride. This is the true story of how the Post Office, a part of government we all regarded like a comfy maiden aunt turned out to be a vicious cruel self protecting entity.
Toby Jones was suburb as Alan Bates, a dogged precise individual who refused to take the accusation against him lying down. The whole cast we utterly believable and I really feel this is deserving of the odd BAFTA or three.
I knew before this TV drama was televised about the appalling miscarriage of justice on these decent Sub Masters and Mistresses, but not in the detail this drama went in to. The duplicitousness of the Post Office heads must, if there is any justice, be bought to account for perverting the course of justice.
I really hope this wonderful drama goes some way into forcing the innocent into some form of decent compensation, but even that won't bring back the lives ended by suicide.
