The BBC real-life drama, The Gold, has just screened its final, sixth episode on network TV and fans might be wondering if there'll be a follow-up to the drama starring Hugh Bonneville, Jack Lowden, Tom Cullen, Emun Elliott and Charlotte Spencer.
The action over the series has seen Bonneville's Brian Boyce and team chase the thieves who stole £26 million in gold bullion in 1983. And while the cops managed to secure convictions for eight people involved with the Brinks-Mat robbery, the detectives at the very end realised that half of the bullion was still missing.
Nicki Jennings and Tony Brightwell come to the realisation that solicitor Edwyn Cooper had said he had finished laundering the profits from the gold, he had only been working with £13 million - meaning there was £13 million worth of gold unaccounted for.

The trio then say they will start back at the beginning, looking into the "six blokes in a van" making it seem like there's a chance of another installment.
Also, at the end of the final episode, Boyce visits Kenneth Noye in his cell after he has been convicted to 14 years in jail for conspiracy to dishonestly handle the stolen gold and fraudulently conspiring to avoid VAT payments on the gold, and tells him to play his "one card" and reveal where the other half of the gold is. Noye says he will be "remembered" for what he did, making "one and a half ton of gold" vanish into thin air.
He says: "And having you lot run around like clowns. All that chasing, all that digging - for something that was never there. Yeah... yeah, I'll be remembered for that."
So there's plenty of the Brinks-Mat gold story still to tell, a second series has yet to be commissioned by the BBC, but the series' writer, Neil Forsyth has had a say. He said: “There is certainly still story to tell, so we will have to see what happens.
“For now, I’m just delighted with the reception that this series has received.”
“There was a lot of story and some fantastic characters that we just didn’t have room for in the show, which is one of the reasons that myself and the show’s researcher Thomas Turner have published a book called The Gold to give people the wider story."
The whole series of The Gold has been on iPlayer for the past six weeks, but came to an end on BBC One on Sunday, March 19.
