The Gold is a critically acclaimed factual drama inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink’ s-Mat robbery and the decades-long chain of events that followed. At the end of Series 1, following the conviction of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’ s- Mat gold, the police realised that those criminals only ever had half of it. Series 2 explores what happened to the other half, and the criminal fortune it created.

As the police investigation continues, it becomes a tense, high-stakes journey into international money laundering and organised crime. The police embark on dramatic manhunts as they desperately try to solve the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan Police.
