Dramatisation of the Brinks-Mat gold robbery On 27/02/2023 at 18:25, Derry Alli said: Watched "The Gold" over the weekend on iplayer. 6 x 1hr episodes around the Brinks Mat robbery and subsequent actions of those involved. Quite an enjoyable watch, I'd recommend it. I've watched this over the past few days - I enjoyed it, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I always think British gangster films go a bit into self-parody when it's about cockney geezers but this one didn't and was really well acted and written - by a Scottish guy I think. Great soundtrack as well. I did have a couple of reservations about it The story of the robbery and subsequent cover up is really fascinating, I don't think it needed a major character made up (the lawyer played by Dominic Cooper) and added into it. I understand why they created the detectives, in a drama you are going to need characters to focus on and real life major police investigations are cumulative efforts not individual ones. So I think creating them was fair but Cooper was a bit much of an insert. There was loads of social/political commentary about class and England and the establishment etc. and it was clear that the Cooper character was created to allow these points to be made. I think every show about the UK in the 1980s does this now, it's almost ret-conned in. I'm not sure it really fits and making Kenneth Noye and some sort of class warrior is a bit much. He was and is a pretty brutal criminal. The show also didn't make that clear how many people have been murdered over the gold - it showed the taxi driver Brian Perry being killed but a few others have been over the years, including John Palmer and Gordon Parry. Overall a really good show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, one of the builder for Palmer in Spain was wearing a United top. Spoiler I loved the court scene where he pulled them all out to the Manor in the middle of the night. I hope that was a true reenactment of what happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet I'm still finding wee bits that I've missed as I tend to focus on background characters/reactions once I know what the main character is saying off by heart. Watched one the other night and heard a quiet belter from Tommy I had never heard before - the pub breaks into song again and Tommy is slightly in the background looking raging and I caught "Bloody hell, singing again!". Absolutely brilliant wee bit. It's such a gem of a show. You're bang on about discovering things on repeated watch - I've recently introduced the missus to the joy of the show and just noticed that sometimes when Phil & Nige leave the pub there's a call coming through on their radio, and the NATO phonetic call signs spell out swear words. I only picked it up when one of the call-signs went on a bit, and when I played it back I heard Alpha Romeo Sierra Echo Hotel Oscar Lima Echo Sierra. Going back, it started on series one, episode one with Tango Whisky Alpha Tango Sierra. There's one that stops at Foxtrot Uniform Charlie... I'm easily amused by the little things... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Documentaries where somebody is being interviewed but the director is unable simply to point the camera at them. So every few seconds we get a brief closeup of their eye or ear while they're talking. True crime shows are notorious for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
