Eastcoastmom, We’ve been out of town all day today, this is my first chance to get back at Fort, so I apologize for the delay in answering.
Alice and Jack is a 6 episode series. I think the 3rd episode is just ok, but as I said, I let it roll over to the next episode. It gets more interesting each episode and then intriguing. So, hang in there.

Yes! I wasn't sure after watching that first Nolly episode. But, I was surprised and delighted after watching the remaining episodes, especially the third one. If anyone is wondering what happened to Noele, "Nolly" after Crossroads, here is the answer. (with a lovely picture of her)

I wasn't sure at first about watching it but I am super glad I did! Helena Bonham Carter was magnificent.

Tomorrow (April 7th) in the formerly Nolly timeslot, 9/8c.: Mr Bates vs The Post Office, the show that was one of the most-watched drama premieres in the UK since Downton Abbey! (That could be because it pertains to the post office scandal that affected so many postal workers in the UK. Watch the Preview it looks good). Little guy vs the Giant. In Episode 1, mysterious financial losses lead the UK Post Office to fire and prosecute village Subpostmasters, who have no way to prove their innocence. Mr Bates Preview

First episode of Mr Bates vs the Post Office sure had me riled up. I kept thinking how could this happen? Which I guess explains how much I love Mr Bates for refusing to sign off on his daily tally, and refusing to pay the fines. But, this occurred in late 1990’s and many people were just not technologically familiar back then. The PBS newsletter link provided below gives some background information on how the postal system and Horizon worked back then. Unlike the US federal postal system, Britain’s Post Office is a state-owned private company. Self-employed branch managers (or Subpostmasters) work for, and are under contract with, the Post Office. The Horizon launch “to 13,000 busy, non-technical Subpostmasters was hasty, and training was inadequate for the scale of the transformation in the workflows involved,” reports The Guardian (UK). It was a time without today’s “social media” and technology serving as a platform to expose problems, injustices, or corporate dishonesty. Mr Bates vs Postal Office

Enjoyed the episode, and looking forward to the rest of the series.
