BBC One’s The Gold hits its fifth episode this Sunday, tightening its focus as police and rival factions close in on the final stretch of the Brink’s-Mat fallout.
The global manhunt escalates. Old names are re-emerging. Some are running. Others are consolidating. Boyce, played by Hugh Bonneville, is drawn back into a long-unfinished rivalry that tests his limits as much as the law’s.
With one episode left, the series is shifting into final position. Momentum is with the investigators, but the reach of the stolen gold remains deep. Key players are split across borders, alliances are shifting fast, and every decision now carries weight.
The series has held its slot across five weeks with, smart casting, and a structured build around one of Britain’s most infamous heists. Dominic Cooper and Jack Lowden lead a cast tracking both the scale and cost of the operation.
Episode 5 airs Sunday 22 June at 9pm on BBC One.
