Press clippings
The charmless, 80s-set Essex double-glazing sitcom continues. Sam deals with a lecherous client, Lavender is ripped off by some Irish Travellers and Swann continues to pout furiously. It might be intended as a parody of 80s attitudes but White Gold is too keen to have its cake and eat it to really convince.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th March 2019It seems strange that this 80s-set comedy is back.

Westwick denied the claims and was not prosecuted due to insufficient evidence, allowing him to resume his role as uber-double-glazing salesman, Vincent.
