Summary

79% Informative

People with no connection to the Post Office have told how they became engrossed by the inquiry.

The inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal has been called the UK 's most widespread miscarriage of justice.

Some " superfans " avidly followed every step of the inquiry, both online and in person.

Ms Vennells , who had not spoken publicly about Horizon for almost a decade , was quizzed over three days in May in the most anticipated appearance of the inquiry.

Abi, whose grandad and aunt used to work for the Post Office , says she found it "quite bizarre" and "incredible" that a chief executive could claim "she didn't know so much" Pey Kan Su first heard about the inquiry when his wife mentioned the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office .

Paul Duckett , an expat living in Australia for the last 12 years , attended the hearings 29 times.
