Will Mellor has said he was left 'fuming' portraying one of the Post Office scandal victims and has demanded action following the conclusion of a four-part ITV drama.
The actor has portrayed Lee Castleton in Mr Bates vs The Post Office. The new series features Toby Jones as the titular Mr Bates and tells the story of the Post Office scandal and the formation of the campaign group Justice for Subpostmasters Alliance, led by Alan Bates and his colleagues.
The real-life miscarriages of justice saw more than 700 innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses - the people who run post office branches - wrongly accused of theft, fraud, and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
