WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode 1 of The Gold.  Writer and executive producer Neil Forsyth had his work cut out for him when adapting the larger-than-life true story of the Brink’s-Mat robbery. Too big for a single film adaptation, Neil decided this vast web of characters, plot, and conspiracy would be best told as a drama series. In this conversation, Neil talks about Episode 1 of The Gold and the decisions he made weaving together countless hours of research with compelling character arcs and dialogue to create this pulse pounding drama.
