What is The Curse (UK TV Series) About?
The Curse is loosely based on the infamous Brink’s-Mat robbery of 1983 in which over £26 million worth of gold bullion, diamonds, and cash was stolen from a warehouse near Heathrow Airport in London. The incident has been described as "the crime of the century".
The gang of robbers who pulled off the crime thought that they were going to steal around £3 million in cash. However what they found instead was 3,000 kilograms of gold bullion and stole £26 million worth of gold, diamonds, and cash. The robbers were quick to realise they'd executed a heist for which they are drastically under-qualified.
The Curse takes a great deal of inspiration from this real heist and makes it fit for a TV comedy-drama. With the gorgeously rendered visuals along with its fitting 80s soundtrack featuring the likes of Talking Heads, Cult and Talk Talk, viewers are immersed in London of that time.
Who is in the Cast of The Curse
The cast of The Curse is an energetic mix of well-known British talent along with a handful of up-and-comers. Those familiar with the BBC Three’s People Just Do Nothing will recognise many of the faces.
The Curse is focused upon the gang of robbers is firstly made up of cash-strapped cafe owner Albert (Allan Mustafa) and his wife Natasha (Emer Kenny of Eastenders and Father Brown fame). They are joined by their friends Sidney Wilson (Steve Stamp), Big Mick Neville (Tom Davis) and Phil Pocket (Hugo Chegwin) in the attempt to rob the warehouse where Sidney works.
Final Words
Seemingly out of nowhere, Channel 4 has produced one of the best British television productions of recent times. The Curse has stylised shooting, detailed set design, and clever dialogue, viewers will certainly be forgiven for picking up a certain 'Guy Ritchie-esque' vibe.
