Mr.Bates vs the Post Office was a 4 part series broadcast on consecutive nights. Each episode was approx 45 minutes long. I think it did a pretty good job in telling a complicated story which took place over 20 odd years. What is missing is what Fujitsu knew and what they told the Post Office over all that time. Hopefully the inquiry should bring some of that to light.

Despite a two-year inquiry and years of campaigning, it was the four-hour drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office that enabled the British public to pay proper attention to the unbelievable horrors of this story

"It did not mention an immigrant/ or racial angle on the story."

This has been brought up before. I have been following this story for a few years and have not seen anything to suggest that investigations were based on any racial reasons. If the system indicated a shortage it was 'investigated' and actions followed. Some of those people who were 'investigated' did feel that they experienced racist behaviour from the 'investigators'. That I can well believe.
