Speaking about the show, Hugh Bonneville said: “Gold is a mysterious metal. It’s been around forever, has survived every economic crash and adorns bodies all around the world. It’s synonymous with luxury and wealth. If you’ve got gold, you’re associated with the Midas touch. That’s the myth and the allure of this extraordinary commodity.

“So, when a huge robbery involving gold takes place, your imagination is immediately sparked. In series one we learned about the process of smelting, bringing the proceeds to market, laundering the profits of the sale, and the effect of that money on people and on the economy. Goodies and baddies, cops and robbers.”

Which actors haven’t returned for series 2?

The Gold has had a bit of a turnover in the cast for the second season. A handful of actors who had key roles in the first series have not returned for the new episodes.

It includes:

• Sean Harris as Gordon Parry (season 1)
• Adam Nagaitis as Micky McAvoy (season 1)
• Daniel Ings as Archie Osbourne (season 1)

Dominic Cooper will appear in a guest role as Edwyn Cooper in series two, having been part of the main cast in the first season.

What to expect from The Gold series 2?

The preview for the second series of the acclaimed BBC drama has been released. It reads: “Following the conviction of some of those involved in the theft and handling of the Brink’s-Mat gold, the police realised that they had only ever been on the trail of half of the Brink’s-Mat gold. Series two is inspired by some of the theories around what happened to the other half.

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