Al Lowe Huff drags in a portable smelter -- and Dave gets high off the fumes -- for The Gold, a six-part scripted story about the 1983 Brink's Mat robbery in the UK. We're talking about proportions of process-iness, the class struggle in South London, and how much BAFTA-bait monologuing is too much, before we go Around The Dial with The Other Black Girl, Harry Wild, Whitstable Pearl, and Cagney & Lacey.
