The real story that inspired the BBC drama, The Gold On Saturday,
26 November 1983, an armed gang stole gold bullion worth almost
£26 million from the Brink's-Mat security depot near London's
Heathrow Airport. It was the largest robbery in world history, and
only the start of an extraordinary story. For forty years, myths
and legends have grown around the Brink's-Mat heist and the events
that followed. The heist led to a wave of international money
laundering, provided dirty money that helped fuel the London
Docklands property boom, caused seismic changes in both British
crime and policing, and has been linked to a series of deaths that
continued until 2015. The Gold is the conclusion of extensive
research and includes exclusive testimony from one of the original
robbers who gives his version of events for the first time. The
result is the astonishing true story of the robbery of the century.
