EndedScripted showDrama

Mr Bates vs The Post Office tells the story of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. Hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system. Many of the wronged workers were prosecuted, some of whom were imprisoned for crimes they never committed, and their lives were irreparably ruined by the scandal.

Following the landmark Court of Appeal decision to overturn their criminal convictions, dozens of former sub postmasters and postmistresses have been exonerated on all counts as they battled to finally clear their names. They fought for over ten years finally proving their innocence and sealing a resounding victory, but all involved believe the fight is not over yet, not by a long way.

At the Royal Courts of Justice, Alan and his friends give evidence on behalf of their army of 555 subpostmasters. All hangs on whether nervous whistleblower Richard Roll can describe what happened behind the scenes at the computer giant, Fujitsu. Shockingly, the Post Office tries to dismiss the Judge for bias. But Alan's side is running out of money, and he is forced to settle. Jo leads the successful appeal to have their unfair criminal convictions overturned at last. But though the truth comes out, and their legal victory is complete, there's no money left for compensation for their losses.
