YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Celebrity Gold Digger The new BBC drama everyone is talking about By You Magazine - November 13, 2019 We’re in peak TV season at the moment, so you’ll be forgiven for cancelling all social plans for a cosy night in front of the telly instead – especially as you’d be in great company thanks to all the incredible shows that have already been released this autumn. BBC From the launch of new streaming services like BritBox and Apple TV, which has brought us the brilliant The Morning Show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, to the BBC drama that has already become the talk of the town despite having only premiered on the channel last night: Gold Digger. The six-part drama, which first aired on BBC One on Tuesday 12 November, stars Emmy winner Julia Ormond as protagonist Julia Day, a wealthy woman who finds herself completely alone on her 60th birthday, having recently split from her long-term husband (after he cheated with her best friend) and been cancelled on by all three of her children. She acts alongside The Punisher‘s Ben Barnes, who plays a Benjamin, a young man in his 30s who Julia falls for after the pair meet at a museum. They embark on a romance but as the plot evolves, Benjamin’s insincere intentions are brought to light. BBC Writer Marnie Dickens said of the drama: ‘Gold Digger is a contemporary relationship thriller about second chances, family and betrayal. It tells the story of Julia Day, a woman turning 60, feeling increasingly adrift from her children and like she’s not sure of her place in the world any more. ‘Then she meets Benjamin. This younger man makes her feel seen for the first time in years. Their romance changes everything.’ But things soon take a dark turn when the past catches up to them: ‘When I came up with the idea I knew the past would play a major role,’ Dickens added. ‘It would almost be a character in itself.’ Similarly, Ormond said of the show: ‘Each member of the Day family has a slightly different memory of this trauma that is personal to them. But they are each affected by it in some particular way – it stays with them as a family until they’re able to unpack it.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR 50 of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of all time Shirley Ballas ‘ Strictly gave me back my hope’ Davina McCall discusses how men can help women going through the menopause Popular in Celebrity TV chef Gino D Acampo on Sardinia Sophia Loren and scary salads May 25, 2017 The Evergreen Goddess Exercise guru Diana Moran on looking fit and July 10, 2017 More more Julianne Moore November 13, 2017 Author Jill Mansell on designer notebooks commissioning art and the family January 16, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES Kelly Hoppen on vodka vintage finds and being a April 4, 2018 ‘ I have no regrets’ Millie Mackintosh on divorce debt and reuniting May 20, 2018 EMOTIONAL TIES TV presenter and tennis player Annabel Croft shares her July 1, 2018 Stella Parton ‘ Dolly and I have always been close’ August 12, 2018 Anna Friel on getting jeered in the street shared parenting with September 23, 2018 Queen of primetime Charlotte Riley on juggling rising stardom with pregnancy October 21, 2018 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
