5.0 out of 5 stars Bring back Band Of Gold!!, 30 May 2002
What can I say? I am over-obsessive about 'Band Of Gold'. It has to be one of the best TV series to this date. Kay Mellor has once again struck us with her witty and powerful writing, and Geraldine James has given another wonderful and memorable performance. Along with that, the rest of the cast of absolutely brilliant aswell! These stars include Samantha Morton, Cathy Tyson, Ruth Gemmell, Rachel Davies and the 'singer-fantastic' Barbara Dickson!

Gina Dickson (Ruth Gemmell), is roped into the world of prostitution, after she becomes in debt with banks, and chased by a loan shark. With the help of Carol Johnson (Cathy Tyson), Gina soon finds her live changes dramatically, when the worst thing that can happen to a prostitute, strikes! Written by Kay Mellor, creator of Fat Friends and Playing the Field.

As I said, I am obsessed, because I have the video, two novels based on the two series and a companion to the three series. I was very disappointed when I found that Band Of Gold II has been deleted from the UK, and Gold was never released! They should bring out a three-video cassette called 'Pure Gold', which contains every series made!

If anyone wants to talk 'Band Of Gold' please contact me. If anyone wants to sell me a copy of Band Of Gold II then once again, please contact me!

In conclusion, 'Band Of Gold' is pure genius!

5.0 out of 5 stars WHERE IS THE SECOND SERIES????, 25 Oct 2001
By za_janice (Cape Town - South Africa) - See all my reviews
I saw this first series on TV but missed one or two episodes so I ordered the double-video from Amazon. Brilliant! I know Barbara Dixon can sing, I didn't know she could act so well. Everything in this drama is good...well-written, superb acting by all. Very authentic. (My guess is that Americans, for example, will find the accents a bit difficult to follow at times!)I saw the second series (which I think is titled just "Gold") but missed a few episodes as WELL!! So to echo the reviewer from Georgia...where is it? Or do we just wait and wish? Would appreciate any info. from previous 2 reviewers if we do get lucky.
