Meet The Cast Of “The Gold”

A new dark comedy based on real events is set to premiere on Paramount+ and BBC soon. The show is titled The Gold, and it is inspired by a real-life robbery. Here’s a summary of what the show is about, according to What To Watch: “The Gold tells the story of the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery. On November 26 1983, six armed robbers set off to carry out what was meant to be “a typical Old Kent Road armed robbery”. However, when they broke into the Brink’s-Mat security depot near Heathrow airport they found gold bullion worth £26m. The robbers gained access to the warehouse, thanks to a security guard who was in on the crime, then poured petrol on the staff inside and threatened them with a lit match if they didn’t reveal the combination numbers of the vault.” The Gold is written by Neil Forsyth, who had previously worked on Guilt, Eric, and Ernie & Me. It will be directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Aneil Karia as well as Lawrence Gough. In an official article by the BBC talking about the series, Tommy Bulfin, BBC Commissioning Editor, said of the show: “The fact that we have assembled such a talented and exciting ensemble cast is testament to Neil’s incisive interrogation of one of the most infamous robberies in British history and the remarkable events which came in its wake. And to have the brilliant Aneil Karia join fresh from his Oscar win is the icing on the cake. The BBC One audience are in for a real treat when this hits the screen.” The show promises an impressive list of actors ready to breathe life into this intriguing series.
