फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
A group of Armed robbers successfully rob £26 million worth of gold from Brinks Mat, expecting a much smaller haul, they face a major problem, how to dispose of it.
Without a doubt, this is one of the best things The BBC has done for some time, it is a quality production. Not one single dull moment, as one episode ends, you'll want to move on to the next.
Set over six parts, it's based on actual events, but of course dramatised, some of the changes seemed reasonable, some seemed to fit the present day climate and narrative.
The story is a compelling one, it makes you wonder if any of the jewellery in your home is part of that haul. This is an exciting, surprising and fast paced series, it is brimming with tension, suspense and drama, several moments will have you on the edge of your seat.
The acting is first rate, this is a cast list to savour, Hugh Bonneville is phenomenal, he truly is one of the best, star quality comes in the form of Dominic Cooper, great to see him in a made for television role.
9/10.

#thegold #thegoldtvseries @bbciplayer - 6 episodes about 1 hr each - binge watched this too - I thought it was the lead up to the robbery but it's after and how the police go about trying to catch the robbers - based on facts about the Brink'sMat robbery in 1983 - well acted and worth watching if you're interested in this - I remember the robbery but couldn't remember anything about it so I found it interesting to watch and of course I didn't know the outcome ! It shows the arrogance of the nouveau riche criminals and frustration with the still prevalent class system which they just can't quite be accepted into - also shows the links with them and the Masons and how corrupt it all is especially when top police are involved - hand shakes and favours to look after each other - apparently a lot of policing methods were changed after this event and you now have to reveal if you are a mason in the police - give it a go ! £26 million was robbed which in today's money is approx £101 million !! @bonhughbon @jack.lowden @emunelliott_ @charlottelouisespencer @stefaniemartini @sean.gilder @dominiccooper #crime #drama #robbery #police #themasons.
Overall not a bad drama except for some very clear facts. Kenny Noye was not a slick 'business' type. He was a rough villain, successful yes, but not the slick geezer they portray he was an hard man. John Palmer, who I met once had a high pitched, soft Birmingham accent, not the West Country twang portrayed here (just view the YouTube videos). Marnie was a Bristol girl an did have a Bristol accent. A couple of parts of the story could have been highlighted that are missed, the van that the bullion was stolen in could hardly move because of the weight of gold. Noye did fly to Jersey to buy a gold bullion bar to get a receipt to cover his tracks but he was already under surveillance. John Palmer two Rotwieller dogs that guarded the 'Battlefields' Coachhouse were named 'Brinks and Mat' they were not friendly. The money from the Brinks Mat robbery coincided with the new prediction of Ecstasy coming from Amsterdam, new music from Manchester and Ectstasy created a huge influx in drugs into the UK. The Leah Betts death and the Essex Boys murders are all connected to the Brinks Matt money in a linear way.
First Hugh Bonneville is brilliant in this . Races along often , you get an episode that's a bit of a filler not here . Full of interesting characters and compelling plot. Plus amazing cars from my youth . Highly recommended for anyone of a certain age who was around when the job happened . It's frightening the. Corruption Within the police which hasn't changed much to this day . My only reservation was the portrayal of Keneth Noye as a bit of a cheeky cockney but in truth he was a nasty thug who went on to kill a young boy in cold blood. But that said it is an entertainment series and not entirely based of fact .
For once we get a BBC police drama that is not stuffed with the latest modern cliches to make it more 'now' and 'authentic' and in which the direction, script and acting are not noticeably produced by the same sausage machine. In many respect The Gold really is several cuts above yer standard BBC fare. But it does have its flaws.
The first of these has been highlighted by other reviewers: for some reason the 'villains' - Noye and Palmer in particular - are sympathetically portrayed as somewhat loveable characters who just happen to be on the wrong side of the law. They were nothing of the kind: partners, mistresses and associates are on record that both were hard, violent, cruel and ruthless.
Noye is still alive. Palmer was murdered at his home in the south of England, the victim of other gangsters he had upset once too often as he made his fortune, reputed to have been £300m.
Noye was acquitted of murdering an undercover police officer but later jailed for a 'road rage' murder. Noye was - make that is - not a nice guy and certainly not a man you would care to cross.
Such characterisation of villasin is not new, of course, and Tinseltown and television have long used that schtick to sex up their cops and robbers drama. A good example which comes to mind is 1967's Bonnie And Clyde starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway which portrays the couple as rather glamorous and heroic. In fact, their short criminal career was sordid and tragic - but that doesn't sell as well.
A second flaw of the BBC's The Gold is more serious as in a sense is it possibly more dishonest: the role of Britain's 'Establishment' is highlighted and the vicious, soulless way it looks after its own.
That is certainly the case and corruption in various police service, a main them of The Gold, is not a scriptwriter's fancy, included just to jazz up his drama. It was then and apparently still is rampant, not just in the police but in other corners of British society.
The Gold's portrayal of it, though, is what is dishonest: both Noye and Palmer, and a third villain who was a crucial element in the scheme to get rid of the gold stolen at Heathrow Airport and launder the proceeds are consciously shown partly to be motivated by sticking one up the Establishment, if kicking back at 'the system'.
From what we know of both men that is just not true: both were motivated purely by greed. They were not 'victims of the system' who were, like some kind of latter-day Robin Hoods, turning on it and giving as good as they could get.
The theme of 'a - potentially - good man' being held back because he 'didn't go to the right school' or something along those lines is perpetuated by the uncorrupt and uncorruptible copper Brian Boyce who is the nemesis of Noye and Palmer. He was a good enough enlisted man to be considered as officer material but he wasn't because he was from the wrong social drawer (runs the drama).
This second flaw does not, though, spoil a very good piece of drama. It is a flaw nothing more. The acting throughout is top-notch, there is none of that silly grandstanding which wrecks an otherwise police procedural, and the cinematography - hand-held cameras making this seem much more of a documentary than it really is - comes off well.
If only the BBC had the courage to free itself of its self-imposed restraints and make more of this kind of drama. We can hope.
