The Curse - Season 1

It's the early 80s, and times are hard in London's East End. But when Albert and his gang of small-time crooks get a lot more than they bargained for, life is set to change forever...

News of the robbery spreads far and wide. As the oblivious gang try to work out an even split of the gold, the police start to sniff around for clues. Will Sidney give the game away?

Mick sets about hiding the loot, while Albert and Natasha get an offer they really can't refuse. The gang escape to a safe house, but things take an unexpected turn.

Albert throws himself into smelting gold as fast as Billy can sell it on. With cash rolling in, some of the gang are invited to meet mysterious money launderer The Baptist. But cracks start to show.

Living it large with nightclubs and gold Bentleys, Mick and Phil are starting to draw unwanted attention. Meanwhile, Sidney's getting death threats. As the net closes in, is time running out?

The police are getting close, and Ma McTavish is breathing down Mick's neck for her share of the gold. Time to make a run for it. But how? Well, Albert has a plan - and this time, it might just work!
