The Post Office Horizon scandal has been called the largest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
British actor Toby Jones has said he got to “play a hero” in the ITV drama series about the Post Office Horizon scandal.
Alan Bates addresses the media after former Post Office boss Paula Vennells gave evidence to the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry in May “He’s a hero and he doesn’t want any honours until he’s finished the job. And these are values that, I’m not going to say I grew up with, but I sort of remember being lectured about. About duty and about following things through.
“I think that there’s something in the country at the moment. There’s a feeling of disempowerment”, he said.“There’s a feeling of outrage, justly, and the story is told very clearly, and it’s by no means obvious. Computer software malfunction is not an obvious thing to make a drama about.”
