Television writer and creator Neil Forsyth joins us today to discuss his brand new crime drama series ‘The Gold,’ out in Canada on Paramount+.

“I think the big thing is just doing your research. I think putting the work in, we did six months of full-time research, and then it was ongoing from there. It didn’t end. So we trolled through newspaper archives in the 1980s, piecing together a very complicated story of lots of disparate events and then jigsawing it together, lots of interviews. I tracked down Brian Boyce, whom Hugh Bonneville plays in the show, who was the lead detective in the Brink’s-Mat task force. He’d never spoken to anyone at great length. He was hard to find, and when I found him, I then had to persuade him to talk to me. So I spoke to him maybe a dozen times while I was researching the show.”
