Surviving the Post Office

Overview

Actor Will Mellor, star of the TV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, takes a journey across England to meet some of the real-life sub-postmasters whose lives have been torn apart by injustice. After being wrongly accused of theft, many of the victims lost not only their savings but also their livelihoods. As the country wakes up to the full scale of the scandal, Will finds out what's happened to the people involved, as well as their families. He discovers that many of them want to take back control of their lives. For some, facing the past proves a troubling experience, while for others it heralds a liberating new step forwards.
