"The Post Office, robustly defending its position was a big reason why this story did not get away." Katie Razzall is joined by Journalists Ian Hislop, Nick Wallis and others debate why it took a TV drama for a huge injustice to get the headline it deserved. A Post Office spokesperson previously has said: "We share fully the aims of the public inquiry to get to the truth of what went wrong in the past and establish accountability. It's for the inquiry to reach its own independent conclusions after consideration of all the evidence on the issues that it is examining. We are doing all we can to put right the wrongs of the past."
