Mr Bates vs The Post Office: The Real Story on Channel 7 – Featuring an exclusive interview with Alan Bates, this film reveals the full shocking story depicted in one of the most talked-about dramas in recent times – a drama that inspired a nation to call for real-world action.
Described as ‘the widest miscarriage of justice in British legal history’, the Post Office scandal saw hundreds of local branch managers accused of theft and false accounting.
Lives, marriages and reputations were ruined. But the issue was actually caused by the Post Office’s own computer system. In 2009, Alan Bates started the fightback, leading an epic battle to right so many horrific wrongs.

Channel 7 let the Iddles story run well over time. This meant it cut into the Mr Bates story which in turn meant we couldn’t see all of it. We were out that night so we set record but got only part of it. Pathetic! When you advertise a programme to commence at a certain time keep to it.
Same problem! Poor scheduling by Ch 7 – so we missed the guts of the program. How about a repeat? And this time RUN TO TIME!!!
are you showing it again ed
It does not appear it is being repeated but is on 7plus
Yes,it was very disappointing having set record to only yet part of the program having put up with the ads.
