Starts tonight on ITV. Toby Jones plays the sub postmaster accused of stealing money. thousands of pounds. money that had gone missing. Back in the day. Post office installed onto every sub post office the Horizon computer programme. When i worked there at Royal Mail. All the daily takings and transactions were done manually. every clerk did their balance sheets. money was returned to the safe and ready for the next day. there was virtually no chance of theft because the manager would check the balance sheets at the end of the week. Horizon was installed to do all this . But it was simply not doing it. postmasters and mistresess were charge with theft. And NO way of proving it. And they were led to believe that they were the only ones. its four episodes. Worth a watch i think.
