Preview: White Gold

This sitcom has been dubbed an Inbetweeners reunion by some - although as it only unites two of the four main cast members it is a bit of stretch.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 24th May 2017

Comedy by Damon Beesley of The Inbetweeners fame, with James Buckley and Joe Thomas (also of The Inbetweeners fame) reuniting as double-glazing salesmen. It's set in the 80s, so the nostalgia is as thick and gloopy as a Starbar. If you like your dialogue from the Guy Ritchie school of verbose mockney geezerish, then you're in luck, as their swaggering boss Vincent (Ed Westwick) forces it right down your throat every second he's on screen. A truly punchable show.

White Gold preview

Men behaving Badly in a period piece? White Gold could be the British answer to Mad Men... or The Wolf Of Wall Street? The Wolf of Westcliff, perhaps, given its setting in Essex in the the world of 1980s double-glazing salesmen.

White Gold: Inbetweeners double-glaze UK in the 80s

Stars of The Inbetweeners and Gossip Girl have come together to flog windows in a new TV comedy that perfectly captures the cash-flashing, un-PC 1980s.

White Gold review

If you've never seen The Inbetweeners, you'll find this comedy hilarious. But if you have...

White Gold: The new Inbetweeners

The "white gold" of the title refers to "the dirt-cheap white plastic bits that go round your windows" and the show is both something of a labour of love for [writer] Damon Beesley, whose own father Dennis was "a slightly deranged double-glazing salesman... like having Del Boy for a dad" and an entertaining take on 1980s excess.

The Comedian's Guide to Survival review

Inbetweeners star James Buckley plays a failing performer in an unfocused tale that falls short on laughs.

The Comedian's Guide to Survival review

James Buckley plays real comedian James Mullinger in a British film blending fact and fiction, with comics appearing as themselves. Trouble is, it's not funny.
