So now what?

Morning secret emailers

We reach the conclusion to the ten-part Radio 4 series The Great Post Office Trial at 1.45pm today. Part 10 is called “What the Hell Had Happened” and it brings us from December to this week. If you miss it going out live you can download or listen to all the episodes on the BBC Sounds app or on the GPOT home page.

There is also an omnibus edition of the second week’s broadcasts going out on Radio 4 at 9pm tonight.

The BBC has decided not to make it available on the usual podcast platforms outside the BBC Sounds app, but if you liked the series and think more people might like to listen, do share the above info.

After the weekend, at 7.30pm on BBC1, I’ll be presenting a Panorama programme called Scandal at the Post Office. We have a few extraordinary details on this story which I hope will provoke more questions at the highest levels of government.

Once Panorama has gone out I will focus on doing some journalism as paid for by secret emailers. I have been lucky enough to receive a significant number of donations in the past few weeks, and I intend to spend the rest of June putting that money to good use. Thank you to everyone who has ever contributed to the crowdfunding tip jar. It allows me to work on something I love doing, and I hope to deliver some results.

Thank you also for your correspondence over the past few weeks. A lot of interesting stories, documents and tip-offs have come my way. Some have nothing to do with the Post Office, but focus on other injustices. Others hint at new information, or a way of cracking open one of the many areas within the Post Office story which remain a mystery. I remain afraid that until senior people are compelled to give evidence, or they become sufficiently concerned about their public reputations to give their side of the story, anything I ever do will just be scratching at the surface. But you never know.

Thanks to everyone who has listened, contributed to and shared the The Great Post Office Trial over the past two weeks. I am hugely indebted to so many people it would be a mistake to try to list them all here. I’ll send out another note on Monday before the Panorama, and then, I suspect, attention will refocus on the government and Mr Scully’s forthcoming “reivew”.

Have a great weekend.
