Monday, 20:30 on BBC One (except Wales)

What is wrong with the Royal Mail? Panorama investigates the service that gets around 5,000 complaints a day, and asks if our once-proud postal service is failing its customers.

Reporter Vivian White's bleak message is that 2010 will deliver yet more bad news for the Royal Mail, unless the posties and the bosses can get themselves sorted.

I'm surprised RM haven't tried to stop the programme through the courts.

Crozier threatened C4 last time - I'd be careful with the BBC though , wouldn't do to upset his Mandiness or His Gormlessness with funding issues or sales / privatisation could be a option .

Interesting

[POSTMAN]

Not sure whether it's dispatches stylee,well i hope not,the producer is on here and i spoke to her and gave her serious gossip and loads of info and was willing to spill the beans ITN stylee,but she felt uncomfortable that i wanted to do it anonymously.
We have the biggest postie site there is with all the info needed and she wasn't too keen on us.

[Stormproof]

Just seen the trailer for that looks quite interesting, just hope I can stay awake long enough to watch it next week.

[ExSG]

Jeremy Vine presenting the program?

Not much help there.

[Pat Ostman]

Presenting but not the reporter as usual.

Stormproof, where did you watch the trailer?

well yeah break your cover - is she going to get you a job as a runner for the BBC , the first rung of show business

Even Helmaul admitted RM would be doing handstands when the site went down - " We have tried to convince him that we're not his Nemesis but he won't have it "

[Martin Walsh]

It exposes Royal Mail in a big way similar to the dispatches programme but exposes the so called traffic loss as well as a few other issues.

It's ironic after the first ? Despatches Programme , Crozier was put in charge of letters . Sounds interesting .

[chewi]

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze tell it like it is. Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steviemac]

Not good timing for anyone, we want people to use us this time of year as we make a shed load of money. Whether programme is pro RM or pro workforce it will have some negativity in it and i wonder why Gvt allowing the only business they own and making a profit to be given a kicking at the busiest time of the year.
Get on the phone Mandy and air it after Crimbo

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze tell it like it is. Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no chance

The only thing royalmail can deliver on is a torrent of management ineptitude and failure and propaganda and management bonuses!. While cutting staff and demoralizing those that remain before the big cull for all that can sustain the RM propaganda!.
