News by : (Radio Times) -

It has allowed fans to dive back into the story surrounding the real-life Brink’s-Mat robbery, and the unbelievable aftermath which saw the criminal web surrounding it grow and grows, with more people brought into its orbit.

A number of the other major characters are also based on real-life figures, such as Jack Lowden’s Kenneth Noye and Tom Cullen's John Palmer.

But, when it comes to the real-life figures depicted in the series, what do we know about where they are now? Read on for everything you need to know.

Is Brian Boyce still alive?

Following the events of The Gold, the real-life Brian Boyce went on to become involved in trying to achieve justice in another major national story, the murder of Stephen Lawrence.

In 2012, he told the Evening Standard: "I think it's extremely important that all of those who killed Stephen Lawrence should be put before a jury in order that they can come to their conclusions. It's extremely important for us as a nation, which is now very much a mixed-race nation, that we take on the best traditions of British justice."

Where is Kenneth Noye now?

Two years later in 1996, Noye stabbed 21-year-old Stephen Cameron on a slip road off the M25 during a road rage incident. He subsequently fled to Spain and was located by police two years later in August 1998 following a manhunt. He was arrested that month and was extradited to the UK in May 1999.

The Ministry of Justice said at the time: "Like all life sentence prisoners released by the independent Parole Board, Kenneth Noye will be on licence for the remainder of his life, subject to strict conditions and faces a return to prison should he fail to comply."

The 78-year-old, who, according to the Mail Online now lives in Sevenoaks, in Kent, contributed to 'A Million Ways to Stay on the Run: The uncut story of the international manhunt for public enemy no.1 Kenny Noye', which was written Donal MacIntyre and Karl Howman, and released in 2023.

In 2015, Palmer was murdered in Essex, by being shot in the chest. Police said his shooting had "all the hallmarks of a professional hit", but to this day his murder remains unsolved.
