Review of The Gold

The Gold (2023–2024)
10/10
At last the bbc produce a decent show with none of their agenda.
20 February 2023
Credit where credit is due to the bbc...they make too many crime dramas, which is great if you're into them.

This however, is another but based on a true story & told well. I'm not sure how much is true because a certain amount of artistic licence needs to added for entertainment.

Very well acted, especially Hugh Bonneville who is superb & Charlotte Spencer, though everyone else played their parts well.

My main criticism would be that I think the gangsters were portrayed wrongly, with a slight positive light, as they were definitely not nice people & not likeable in real life.

An event that changed a lot of things in everyday life from policing & corruption, banking & the fact that at one point, every bit of gold that was bought in the UK had some Brinks Matt gold in it, there's still a lot around even today! A lot of Docklands property was bought with the proceeds.

I recommend this 6 part series, it's a good watch & even better as this actually did happen & was it all recovered?
