It's by The Inbetweeners creator Damon Beesley and is being described as the “Wolf of Wall Street in Essex”.

White Gold is set in 1983 and tells the story of charismatic salesman Vincent Swan.

The BBC have said: “Smart, handsome and cocksure, Vincent will happily break the rules if it guarantees a sale.

“It’s a story of dodgy shenanigans, scams and petty rivalries – alongside free-flowing drugs, cash and sex".

Shane Allen, Head of BBC Comedy Commissioning added: “I’m delighted to be back in the ring with Damon as I absolutely adore his writing.

"These characters jump off the page and get you in a headlock.

"The story-telling combines raucous knockabout humour with a really powerful and emotionally engaging undertow.’”
