Panorama reveals how the Post Office covered up evidence of miscarriages of justice.

Hundreds of postmasters were jailed or financially ruined after a computer system said money was missing from their branches.

But when did senior managers find this out, and did they continue to prosecute postmasters for stealing when they knew technology could be to blame? Reporter Nick Wallis investigates what could be Britain鈥檚 biggest ever miscarriage of justice scandal and uncovers evidence of a cover-up at the Post Office.
