BBC Documentary Exposes Ongoing Post Office Scandal

Will Mellor's new BBC documentary, 'Surviving the Post Office,' has brought renewed attention to the Horizon scandal, in which hundreds of sub-postmasters were falsely accused of theft and fraud due to faulty software. Despite the government's 2024 legislation to quash related convictions and promises of compensation, many affected individuals are still awaiting justice. The documentary reveals that the Post Office continues to use the Horizon system, which has shocked viewers and sparked outrage. Mellor aims to keep the conversation alive to ensure accountability and justice for the victims. The program also highlights the severe personal and communal impacts of the scandal, including financial ruin and health issues caused by the stress of wrongful accusations.
