The second season will be filmed in Essex later this year and is set to air on BBC Two in 2018. Season one of <em>White Gold<\/em> was BBC Two\u2019s biggest comedy launch of the year, and the second highest comedy of the year on BBC iPlayer. The story follows charismatic but corrupt salesman Vincent Swan (Westwick) who fell from grace as he lost his job, wife and house in his bid for professional glory. He attempts to recover his losses with one final gamble in a race to placate the tax man.<\/p>\n<p>Shane Allen, the controller of comedy commissioning at BBC, said, \u201cVincent Swan charms his way back on screen alongside this outstanding ensemble cast for another [season]. The reaction to the first [season]\u00a0has been terrific, with an enormous audience boost from the iPlayer box set release. In [season]\u00a0two, the swindles spread abroad to cover the Spanish timeshare apartment gold rush.\u00a0Expect to see Ed Westwick in some tight swimming trunks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Damon Beesley, writer, director and co-founder of Fudge Park Productions, commented, \u201cIt\u2019s both an honor and a pleasure to be working with the BBC again on a second [season]\u00a0of <em>White Gold<\/em>. I like to think of it as selling them a [season]\u00a0two conservatory to go with their [season]\u00a0one patio doors. I\u2019m especially looking forward to watching re-runs of <em>Top of the Pops &#8217;85<\/em> for \u2018research.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Holland, the controller of BBC Two, added, \u201cI am delighted <em>White Gold<\/em> is returning to BBC Two next year. The first [season] was a great new tone on the channel and I can&#8217;t wait for the audience to see where Vince&#8217;s schemes and capers take us next time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The comedy series White Gold from Fudge Park Productions has been commissioned for a six-episode second season by BBC Two, with Ed Westwick, Joe Thomas and James Buckley all continuing in their roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":7764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[753,1264,1265],"class_list":["post-7763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-two","tag-fudge-park-productions","tag-white-gold"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>More White Gold for BBC Two - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"More White Gold for BBC Two - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The comedy series White Gold from Fudge Park Productions has been commissioned for a six-episode second season by BBC Two, with Ed Westwick, Joe Thomas and James Buckley all continuing in their roles.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-06-29T15:21:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-06-29T19:24:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2015\/09\/White-Gold-BBCWWLATAM-517.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/\",\"name\":\"More White Gold for BBC Two - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-06-29T15:21:34+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-06-29T19:24:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2017\/06\/29\/more-white-gold-for-bbc-two\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"More White Gold for BBC Two\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
