Six armed men steal £26m worth of gold from the Brink’s-Mat security depot and set about trying to dispose of the bullion. DCI Brian Boyce sets up a task force to investigate.

The Gold Season 1 is inspired by the true story of the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery that took place in London. Armed men broke into the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport and inadvertently stumbled across gold bullion worth £26m. What started as a typical armed robbery became the biggest theft in world history at the time.
