Last
week, my brother and I caught up with White Gold, a show about three
wheeler-dealer window salesmen in Essex in the 80’s, on iPlayer. Written by
one-half of the team behind The Inbetweeners and featuring two of the four lead
actors from the show, it’s also about half as good as The Inbetweeners.
The
main issues with the show were that it tried too hard to be funny, and Ed
Westwick (Chuck Bass from gossip girl)’s character was a deeply smarmy, dislikeable
bloke. I think the cover of the DVD pretty much tells you all you need to know
about this show:
I miss Simon Bird. So much.
