Since then, legislation has been passed<\/a> by Parliament in an attempt to address the injustice, and plenty of other developments have ensued.<\/p>\n But would the team behind the drama consider continuing the story and dramatising these events, either in a second season or some form of sequel series?<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> set out to find out just that, speaking with producer Patrick Spence after the team behind the show were named the winners of this year\u2019s TV 100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When asked whether he would consider returning to the story in another drama, Spence said: \u201cNo. No, I don\u2019t think so. I think there\u2019s a documentary to be made.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope they\u2019ll do one of those Radio 4 things where they get the team together 10 years later and talk about making the show. But I think the role of drama in this is done.<\/p>\n \u201cI certainly wouldn\u2019t be interested in going back and telling this story again, because I think it\u2019s up to other people now to carry the baton. But I think there\u2019s an amazing documentary that could be made about this whole story and what\u2019s happened since.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cAlan [Bates] and Suzanne are going off to Necker Island as guests of Richard Branson. Alan was asked at one point, \u2018What do you want out of this?\u2019 and he listed all the things that he felt the Post Office and the Government should do.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then at the end, just flippantly, he said, \u2018And if Richard Branson wants to give me a holiday because I can\u2019t afford one, that would be great.\u2019<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAnd within an hour, I think, Virgin had been in touch and said, \u2018We\u2019d like you to be our guest on Necker Island.\u2019 So, we told Alan we\u2019re coming with him with a camera crew to film a documentary, which we obviously won\u2019t.<\/p>\n \u201cBut no, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a role for a follow-up drama. I think there\u2019s a role for a follow-up documentary, but I think now it\u2019s up to the Government, and I think it\u2019s up to the Post Office, and it\u2019s up to Fujitsu to finish this story.\u201d<\/p> Meanwhile, when asked the same question, writer Gwyneth Hughes concurred, saying: \u201cI think it would be hard to produce another drama because they just take too long.<\/p>\n \u201cBut yes, there\u2019s plenty to go at for documentary teams. I mean, there\u2019s stories falling out of the sky on this.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Amit](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/mrbatesvsthepostoffice01-6041f5c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"mr_bates_vs_the_post_office_01\\"\/")
