Mr Bates vs the Post Office, whose first episode aired on January 1 on ITV, unleashed the anger and sadness of 3.9 million viewers . The prestigious British actor Toby Jones (star of films such as Capote and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) gave a face and voice to the battle that Alan Bates waged against the UK government for two decades.
The sad thing is that that the BBC - particularly BBC Radio - has been reporting on this in depth for years, as has Private Eye, Computer Weekly etc.
