White Gold: Gossip Girl star doesn't fit 1980s Essex
"Chuck Bass! It's Chuck Bass!" was my principal reaction to the first episode of new BBC comedy White Gold. And it was hard to get beyond that.
Chloe Hamilton, i Newspaper, 25th May 2017White Gold, BBC Two review
Sleaze and sharp practice in the exciting world of double glazing.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 25th May 2017White Gold review
It's hard to see the joy in watching three hours of awful people being awful, but it wouldn't be the first time we've been asked to do just that. Here's hoping the groundwork done here was worth it, and that's not the case this time.
John Moore, Cult Box, 25th May 2017Preview: 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 2017Comedy 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.

Craig McLean, Radio Times, 24th May 2017Ed Westwick on new BBC sitcom role
The former Gossip Girl star on his illuminating transition to comedy, starring now in the new sitcom from Inbetweeners creator Damon Beesley.
Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent, 24th May 2017White 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.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th May 2017White 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.
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 24th May 2017Damon Beesley on his dad, the Eighties and his new show
Damon Beesley's new comedy explores a heady world of sex, drugs and insulating glass units.
