Mr Bates vs the Post Office

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Can someone summarise what this is about?

Post office accused a post office manager of fiddling the books and took action against the manager. Then transpires the PO accused many other managers of being on the take and again took appropriate action against them, who all pleaded innocence.
An investigation concludes it was a computer / technology issue within the PO system that was fucked.....
The sacked mangers took on the PO and won their case.

Of course what has to be remembered is what is termed compensation its really money Horizon took and which the Post Office pocketed. That money needs to be returned then on top you get compensation. Thats how justice works.

That was THE BEST OF TV. Sadly as awards are offered at the year end it may well be overlooked.
