The Gold season 2 cast, filming locations and episode guide ...Middle East

Hugh Bonneville returns for a second round of The Gold as the hunt continues for those involved in one of the biggest robberies in British history.

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.

Neil Forsyth, the show’s creator, writer and executive producer, said: “This series follows the second half of the Brink’s-Mat gold and it’s also a story of the consequences faced by several of our key characters across the entire show.”

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.

Police realised they had only ever been on the trail of half of the Brink’s-Mat gold.

Season two explores some of the theories around what happened to the other half.

As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organised crime.

Hugh Bonneville stars as DCI Brian Boyce, who led the investigation into the Brink’s-Mat robbery.

Bonneville said of his character: “Boyce can be seen as a benign sometimes irritated figure, rolling his eyes at his two protégés, Jennings and Brightwell.

“His attitude changes, though, as he acknowledges in his own taciturn way that they are good at their jobs.”

The British actor, 61, is best known for playing the Earl of Grantham in the period drama series and films Downton Abbey.

He has also starred in the films Notting Hill, Iris, The Monuments Men, To Olivia and the Paddington movies.

On television, he has appeared in The Agency, Douglas is Cancelled, W1A, Twenty Twelve and The Silence.

Emun Elliott

Emun Elliott plays DI Tony Brightwell, who is part of the task force investigating the Brink’s-Mat robbery.

Elliott described his character in season two as “very much developed as a detective – he’s much more confident, much more self-assured, even more relaxed in his procedure and ability”.

He added: “His connection with Brian Boyce and Nicki Jennings is much deeper and stronger.”

The Scottish actor, 41, is known for playing for portraying Dr Christian King in Paradox, Richie in Threesome, John Moray in The Paradise and Don Logan in Sexy Beast.

He has also starred as Brance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Robert Weekes in Tell It To The Bees.

Charlotte Spencer portrays detective Nicki Jennings, a key member of the police investigation.

Spencer said: “Jennings in this series has got into her groove a bit more, she’s more comfortable with herself now and understands the job and what’s she’s doing.”

The British actress, 33, played Carly Kirk in Line of Duty and Charlotte Appleby in The Living and the Dead. She has also appeared in Sanditon, Baghdad Central, Ted Lasso and Us.

Tom Cullen

Tom Cullen appears as John Palmer, the only one to be found not guilty at the Old Bailey trial for his part in the Brink’s-Mat robbery.

Cullen said: “There’s quite a large leap in terms of John Palmer from series one to series two.

“We pick him up at his kind of zenith.

“He ran a very large timeshare business which we see the genesis of in series one but now it’s at its absolute peak and it was an incredibly successful business for a long time.”

Welsh actor Cullen, 39, roise to fame for his role in the 2011 film Weekend.

He has gone on to play Anthony Foyle, Viscount Gillingham in Downton Abbey, Mark Wells in The Five, Landry du Lauzon in Knightfall, Thomas Seymour in Becoming Elizabeth and Robert in Insomnia.

The cast of season two of The Gold also includes:

As season two of The Gold deals with the police’s investigation and pursuit of those involved in the Brink’s-Mat robbery there were multiple locations for filming.

Parts of East Sussex were used for some of the location shots, including the village of Firle. The coastal resorts of Hastings and St Leonards were also part of the scenery.

Disused Dorchester Prison in Dorset became the backdrop to recreate HM Prison Long Lartin.

Crews also headed overseas to Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands for scenes showing the hunt for John Palmer and to the streets of Madrid as the investigation became an international one.

“We were filming in Santa Cruz, which is the capital of Tenerife, because in the second series of The Gold, we go international in terms of storytelling.

Emun Elliot said: “Series one was very much London centric, although there was a tiny little bit where Jennings and Brightwell nip off to Sierra Leone for around a day and there’s a little bit on the south coast of Spain.

“This time, the story really expands in terms of scale, and we really go international as the money starts to find its way all over the globe.”
