New BBC drama, The Gold fills the 9pm Sunday evening slot left vacant by the highly anticipated Happy Valley finale and starts its run on Sunday, February 12. The drama is inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery when burglars got more than they planned for at the security depot near Heathrow Airport.
The six-part drama stars Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville, Dominic Cooper from Marvel's Captain America and Mamma Mia, Jack Lowden of Slow Horses and Sanditon's Charlotte Spencer.
Inspired by extensive research and interviews with some of those involved in the events, The Gold is a pulsating dramatisation which takes a journey into a 1980s world awash with cheap money and loosened morals to tell this extraordinary and epic story for the first time in its entirety.
