The Gold - Season 1

Season 1

The Gold opens with the events of November 26th 1983, when six armed men broke into the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's Heathrow Airport, and inadvertently stumbled across gold bullion worth £26m. What started as ‘a typical Old Kent Road armed robbery' according to detectives at the time, became a seminal event in British criminal history, remarkable not only for the scale of the theft, at the time the biggest in world history, but for its wider legacy.

To Be a King

Six armed men have stolen £26m worth of gold bullion from the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's Heathrow Airport. First on the scene are Flying Squad detectives DI Nicki Jennings and DI Tony Brightwell. Back at Scotland Yard however, Flying Squad are not taking the case. Instead, long serving DCI Brian Boyce arrives from counter-terrorism to take charge of the investigation.

Unable to dispose of the bullion, robbery ringleader Micky McAvoy turns to Kenneth Noye, a businessman hiding a criminal sideline. Noye enlists Bristol gold merchant John Palmer to help disguise the gold and sell it back into the market.

Meanwhile, South London wheeler dealer Gordon Parry and the respected establishment solicitor Edwyn Cooper, set about laundering the proceeds from the stolen gold.

Bookish

London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.

Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.

Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
