The Gold is inspired by the true story and theories of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery, which saw the theft of £26 million worth of gold bullion and the decades-long chain of events which followed.
The BBC One series picks up events after season one and the convictions of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold.
Season two explores some of the theories around what happened to the other half.
