BBC The Gold: Viewers 'hooked' as they become fascinated by the real life events

The BBC's latest drama The Gold continued on Sunday (February 19), with the second episode hooking viewers. The series is based on true events that occurred after the world's largest robbery at the time.

The plot continued to unravel in the latest episode, There's Something Going On in Kent, as the police investigated the criminals involved in the crime. A network is established by the culprits to smelt the stolen Brink's-Mat gold, sell it back into the market, and launder the earnings.

In the series, Welsh actor Tom Cullen plays John Palmer, the gangland boss who ran several jewellery shops in the Bristol area. John was seen smelting gold in his garden shed in front of his wife Marnie J. A. Ryan. John said: "I'm making a new life for us The thing with gold is, if you have enough of it, it can buy you a life you don't have any business dreaming about."
