    I imagine the outcome would depend on the circumstances - an armed
    burglar who received a minor injury from a not-particularly-dangerous
    trap might get short shrift whereas a postman crippled for life by
    a bear-trap might get a huge payout.

    And unlike the sub-postmasters who were wrongly accused by
    the Post Office of theft and fraud. And whose ongoing plight
    co-incidentally is featured in a 3 part drama "Mr Bates and
    the Post Office"; which is being shown on 3 successive nights
    on ITV1, starting tonight at 9.p.m

    I stand corrected. . I only thought to click the +24 yellow hrs button on
    the remote twice, for some reason

    Fair enough. I wouldn't like you have missed one (but they're always
    available on catch-up, of course - ask Jeremy!).

    I deliberately eschew such possibilities

    But it is handy they're stripping it across the four days, rather
    than weekly as I'd probably forget to watch it.

    The coverage of the postmaster's stories is fine and problem free. Quite
    how they'll deal with management discussions and decisions apart from
    material that's already been revealed in Court is maybe another matter According to IMdB anyway, Vennells makes an appearance in unspecified
    episodes played by Lia Williams

    Although a lot of this material should already have been sub-judice
    well before now IMHO.

    ITVX is about as reliable as the Horizon system.

    I try not to use ITVX.

    ITV programmes are mostly available on Sky+HD catch-up (but most often
    only after broadcast) and (obviously) not those which are temporarily
    exclusive to ITVX.
