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.

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.
