Mr Bates vs The Post Office

Viewers were spoiled for choice when it came to British television this year, with incredible programs ranging from high fantasy to biting comedy and everything in between.

It's the end of 2024, a year that saw some of the best and worst British shows air and stream on PBS. Let's run down the cream of the U.K. crop for the year that was.

Mr. Bates (Toby Jones) and the subpostmasters' alliance finally got their day in court in the final episode of Mr Bates vs the Post Office, and while it was a big step forward, it wasn't the resounding victory we hoped for.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office sets an impossibly high bar before the subpostmasters find justice in the show's penultimate episode.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office starts widening its scope as the wheels of justice turn, and winning turns out to not look like much.
