Panorama did coverage of the scandal but I don’t think I was aware of it.

I believe it was a reshowing of a previous programme, not a brand new one for now
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

It was shown in April 2022.

I missed the drama about this. Is it available now and where do I find it? I now have a smart TV but haven't got to grips with all the various sites on it and, if I manage to find it, I'll need a PC expert to tell me how I go back to what I call the normal TV progs.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

My niece-in-law came yesterday and, albeit having a bit of trouble finding it, she did and I saw it. OMG! Today it's a chief executive from Fujitsu in both the enquiry place and with some MPs. That should be interesting to say the least.  :blush:

Today's breakfast TV had one of the sub-postmistresses on who was interviewed earlier last week with some others who were also wrongly accused. The heads who spoke yesterday at the inquiry were very sorry - yeah! I hope theirs and others heads will roll when it's over or preferably before then. As for the compo, well, it's anyone's guess when that will be paid and in what year. In the meantime, junior reporter GG will do her best to keep you abreast of how things develop.

Today's breakfast programme had another person who was one of several they interviewed the other week. As he was given a criminal record he couldn't get a job afterwards. The lawyer who is acting for some of them actually knew him as a friend. He's going back down to London to the rest of the enquiry and, said without any malice, wants to see Paula Vennells squirm in her seat when she's interrogated. He also said that there are many more victims out there that haven't come forward as some have already died, and some just can't face the trauma all over again. Personally, I don't blame them. More Fujitsu executives are testifying today.

I totally agree with your comments Goosy  lets hope more of these victims involved do come forward to claim what's owed to them and those who caused this in the first place get what coming to them

Today it's more bosses from Fujitsu, plus some employees who were, to say the very least, extremely disrespectful - nay - downright rude to one of the post office people who was portrayed in the drama and went to court. They called him a nasty man in an email. Would the mods allow me to do various anagrams of swear words? Thought not.

Today's breakfast prog featured a mother and daughter who each had post offices. They were both accused of fraud and told by the Post Office that, if they communicated with each other in any way, they would go to prison because they would be colluding together. This meant no cards, no phone calls or anything whatsoever. Her daughter became pregnant - she couldn't tell her mum, nor could she when her baby was born. Yet another heart-breaking interview. I abhor theft of any kind including plagiarism and would have preferred to go to prison rather than to plead guilty for something I'd not done. Easy said I suppose, but which ever way you chose your reputation would have been in tatters. Keep 'em coming BBC so as to maintain the status quo of immense public anger.
