BBC Launches Second Series The Gold Crime Drama

The BBC's critically acclaimed factual drama, The Gold, inspired by the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery involving the theft of £26 million worth of gold bullion, returns for a second series on June 8th. The new six-part series continues to explore the decades-long investigation, focusing on theories about the other half of the stolen gold not previously recovered, delving into international money laundering and organized crime. The series follows the Brink's-Mat Task Force as they undertake dramatic manhunts in what is the longest and most expensive investigation in Metropolitan Police history. Returning cast members include Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliott, Tom Cullen, Stefanie Martini, and Sam Spruell, with BAFTA-nominated Jack Lowden reprising his role as Kenneth Noye from episode three onwards. New cast additions feature Tom Hughes, Stephen Campbell Moore, Joshua McGuire, and others, expanding the narrative scale of the international crime elements. All episodes will be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer from 6am, ahead of the BBC One broadcast at 9pm on the same day.
