The Reckoning

The Great Post Office Trial

In a follow up to the ten-part series The Great Post Office Trial, Nick Wallis explores how campaigners for justice around the Post Office scandal have been continuing the fight, and reveals startling new details on the story which have emerged in court.

Since the original series aired, the government has officially launch an inquiry, chaired by Sir Wyn Williams. But many are frustrated by what they fear is the inquiry's limited scope, and worry that the inquiry will not dive deep enough or hold individuals accountable. Some Sub Postmasters are also seeking further legal redress, and attempting to pressure the government to cover the Sub Postmasters' costs from the initial trial.

As the potential cases of miscarriage of justice work their way through the Court of Appeal, Nick discovers revelatory new documents which cast fresh light on what was going on inside the Post Office as the scandal unfolded.

And we hear newly emerged stories of more Sub Postmasters affected, as the full scale of the story becomes clear.
