I just finished binging the 2024 UK mini-series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. It's based on true events, and I have so many thoughts!

Netflix EMEA Chief Puts ‘Mr Bates’ Debate To Bed: “We Absolutely Would Have Commissioned It In The UK”

Netflix's EMEA chief said the streamer would have commissioned 'Mr Bates Vs The Post Office' after success of 'Adolescence'

Deadline
Vu sur Arte, #MrBates contre le Post Office. Une mini série à la Ken Loach, opposant David contre Goliath, l'individu engagé pour le bien public contre la big corp, l'humanité contre la machine infaillible (non non il ne s'agit pas d'IA). 4 bonnes heures de visionnage avec de bons acteurs anglo saxons. Assez surpris que ça ne tourne pas plus sur notre réseau gauchiste...
#MrBates vs the #PostOffice. Is it any good? It doesn't really matter because the subject matter is compelling. Even if it were badly acted, it would be worth watching. Happily, it's given all the love it deserved and I loved it. https://www.tomliberman.com/entertainment/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office-review

Post Office: Husband of ex-boss Paula Vennells advised on Horizon 'bug'

So despite all the fuss, embarrassment and bad publicity the British Government can't end this fiasco in a timely manner. I would have thought a million pound settlement and a knighthood would have been a quick solution. #mrbatesvsthepostoffice #mrbates #horizon #bbcnews
Alan Bates says Post Office was run by 'thugs in suits'

He told the official inquiry that a "once great" institution had been "asset stripped" by former bosses.

'No sympathy for striking #doctors? Watch #ITV’s #Breathtaking and ask: have we paid our debt to them?

The Covid drama should do for #NHS staff what #MrBates did for #PostOffice victims. We made promises – I can’t say we kept them'

No sympathy for striking doctors? Watch ITV’s Breathtaking and ask: have we paid our debt to them?

The Covid drama should do for the medical profession what Mr Bates did for Post Office victims, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

The Guardian
Watching Mr. Bates Vs. The Post Office (not finished yet) and I keep shouting why there isn't an independent code audit of the version of the software that was running at the time? And don't tell me they don't have version control. If not they should be all in prison just for that. #mrbates
