Viewed: Series 2

With its second season (that I honestly wasn't sure would ever materialise after production was cancelled indefinitely following false sexual assault allegations against lead actor Ed Westwick), White Gold remains one of the more entertaining Britcoms currently running - a hilarious, bawdy, and sharply-written comedy greatly benefitting from a talented cast. It's always nice to see Inbetweeners alumni James Buckley and Joe Thomas doing something in a similar vein to that timeless series, and the show was even directed by long-time Inbetweeners writer/producer Damon Beesley. The period setting of White Gold further establishes itself as unique in the current television landscape (particularly in the field of sitcoms), and I still enjoy seeing '80s England being so lovingly recreated from top to bottom. The most notable twist of this second season is newcomer Rachel Shenton as Joanne Scott, a no-nonsense type who really gives the boys a run for their money. (Also, Lauren O'Rourke remains something of a comedic dark horse as long-suffering receptionist Carol.) Of course comedy is subjective, and not everyone will take to this show, but for my money, White Gold is fun and funny viewing. Not essential, but it's worth the time if you've got it.
