Join us on Tuesday 12th March for an exclusive panel discussion with the team behind ITV's Mr Bates vs The Post Office, reflecting on the extraordinary impact of the series.

Since its release in January 2024, Mr Bates vs The Post Office has already gained a viewership of over ten million and counting. But the ITV drama has done much more than just prove a ratings success; its retelling of the Post Office Horizon Scandal has stirred up so much public indignation that it's accelerated the cogs of justice for the wrongly accused postal staff.
 
Now, the creators of this remarkable series will pull back the curtain on how they brought this decades-long saga to screen, and reveal how drama can have the power to make lasting change in society.
 
Panel:
Patrick Spence - Executive Producer, AC Chapter One
Natasha Bondy - Executive Producer, Little Gem
James Strong - Director
Chris Clough - Producer
Monica Dolan - Actor
Polly Hill - Head of Drama, ITV
 
Chaired by Mark Lawson
