The PBS series Mr. Bates vs The Post Office will debut on April 7 at 9 PM.
When money started to seemingly disappear from local branches, the government-owned Post Office wrongly blamed their own managers for its apparent loss. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, and many were even sent to prison – leaving lives, marriages and reputations in ruins.
But the issue was actually caused by errors in the Post Office’s own computer system – something it denied for years. Revealing a shocking David vs. Goliath fight for justice, this is the true story of the decent ordinary people who were relentlessly pursued, coerced and controlled by a powerful corporation, and their ongoing battle, against seemingly insurmountable odds, to right so many horrific wrongs.
Toby Jones stars as the title character Alan Bates.
The cast includes Lesley Nicol and Ian Hart (among others).
