I've seen the first 3 episodes of Mr Bates vs the Post Office.  I was first made aware of the issue when radio 4 covered it here...

The Creator - This should have been great. A pretty decent story, great effects and the script wasn't bad. But it didn't click with me, as with others that I've read reviews from. I think what spoilt it for me was John David Washington - he's not a good actor and severely lacks any charisma. Another actor in the main role would have improved the movie immensely. Another movie he starred in, Tenet, was poor as well - may be that was him too. A shame as this film could have been an epic. 6/10

Agreed - I was soooo looking forward to The Creator, and came away from the cinema feeling deflated. Could & should have been much better.

One of the local post mistresses in my town was accused of swindling £74k, heads have to roll for this but I guess the guilty are playing for time.

Such an appalling abuse of power. Unbelievable really. Something you'd expect in a 3rd World country or despotic state, not the UK.

Second series of The Tourist on the BBC. I'm loving it so far, on a par, if not even better, than series 1.

Speaking of Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office, we've just finished binge watching the 4 episodes tonight. Great TV documenting an almost incomprehensible misuse of power. We now plan to watch "the real story" tomorrow night if we can find it.

Finished S02 of The Tourist. Pretty good but a slightly disappointing ending, with a hint of may be more to come.

We are about three episodes in. Getting a bit too silly now IMHO
