In more contemporary media, only a handful of productions have sparked reactions as significant as Mr. Bates vs The Post Office, which rekindled public attention towards the Post Office scandal and subsequently prompted legal reforms after it was broadcast on ITV recently.
However, among films aiming to potentially match its impact in instigating real change is the recently premiered Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger, a follow-up to the popular Netflix movie from two years ago featuring Rory Kinnear as entrepreneur Dave Fishwick, based in Burnley.
Similar to Mr. Bates, the latest movie revolves around a blue-collar champion who is resolute on fighting for the rights of common folk against a substantial wrong – here, it’s the exploitative practices of predatory pay-day lenders preying upon financially struggling and distressed individuals.
And according to star Kinnear, he can see one or two parallels between Fishwick and Bates.
Dave seldom encounters a ‘no’ that he listens to, nor does he accept one; instead, it seems as if Alan Bates shared this unyielding spirit, refusing to succumb to obstacles or remain quiet.
In simpler terms, “When it benefits everyone as a whole and especially protects those vulnerable to overwhelming forces like large industries or businesses, one needs an unyielding individual.

Simultaneously, Jo Hartley, portraying Dave’s spouse Nicky in the movie, expressed her hope that the film would shed light on the matter of payday lenders and raise significant awareness about the underlying issues.
She expressed the hope that these institutions and entities, whatever they may be, would no longer be used by people.
I found myself spending a lot of time watching videos on YouTube. You understand, when people are barely managing to make ends meet, they’ll try to do whatever they can. Unfortunately, they often get ensnared in a harsh system that makes it difficult for them to repay their debts. I hope the film we’re making will shed light on this issue.
