I binged it a while ago and absolutely loved it, so much so I might even watch it again, and I don’t do that very often.
I’m listening to that in podcast just now actually . Very interesting only on episode 8 . However just had the interview from the Federation of Postmasters Union leader . WTF , supposed to be there for support .

Post Office Scandal, I was initially interested because I'm a software Engineer, the insistent intransigence by Post Office that the Horizon software had no faults and then using this to prosecute innocence people is scandalous.
I'm waiting for the Public Enquiry to interview Gareth Jenkins, the Horizon software chief architect from Fujitsu. Who was the Post Office's expert witness at court.
Gareth Jenkins is yet to attend, using "the principle of privilege against self-incrimination":
"the principle of privilege against self-incrimination. Before we go any further, I should tell you that a witness at a public inquiry has a right to decline to answer questions if there is a risk that the answer to the question would incriminate the witness. In short, that is the principle of privilege against self-incrimination."

Interestingly.
Post Office Security, it seems, had to pay Fujitsu to access Transaction Audit files. '£1 million for 100 accesses'
David Smith, former Post Office Head of Change & IS.
"The immediate issue was that security had, I think it was the right to access the audit file 100 times in a financial year. They were currently using all of those opportunities. They were only resourced to deal with 100 accesses of the data. If you extended this to civil cases it needed more resource to process the data. I mean, this could be -- for some unknown reason, £1 million for 100 accesses"
I quite liked the first series.
I've just subscribed to Netflix so that MrsP can watch a new series called One Day. It has got good reviews.
We did watch Fool me Again. Michelle Keegan plays the lead character. It gets a bit predictable towards the end, and Keegan plays the same kind of character that she has played in her last few series.
Watch if you have nothing better to do.

The Legend of Robin Hood, a TV series form 1978ish with Diane Keen as Marion... most enjoyable with some silly fight scenes and unfathomable escapes, and the most unexpected dour ending. 7/10
Diane Keen, now you're talking. 😊

Post Office Scandal
"Without Prejudice"
Having read and watched a huge amount of the Public Enquiry witness statements and interviews.
The general theme for Post Office and Fujitsu witnesses at present:
Post Office seems to have believed the Horizon software had no accounting calculation faults when they made the prosecutions.
Fujitsu seems to have believed the Horizon software had no accounting calculation faults, only known faults, when the prosecutions were made.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I find this interesting due to being a software at the time, because my knowledge was that Windows operating systems and Visual Basic programs were seen as not being robust enough for use in business critical systems at the time, 1990's.
Also, I would like to hear a witness statement by an Escher Riposte representative, their software was apparently apart of the Horizon system.
The Public Enquiry continues on 9 April - 31 July 2024.

Oh, brilliant. Didn't realise they were making another. I loved it, and agree that it didn't seem to get discussed more.
