The Gold
Available on BBC iPlayer
With the possible exception of the Great Train Robbery of 1963, no heist has captured the British public’s imagination more than the theft of £26m in gold bars (more than £163m at today’s gold prices) from the Brink’s-Mat warehouse in 1983. It has featured in countless documentaries, films and television series, most recently in Channel Four’s last year. This hasn’t deterred the, a six-episode, lightly fictionalised mini-series written and created by Neil Forsyth and directed by Aneil Karia and Lawrence Gough.
