The BBC has up a very good three-part documentary series on the history and love of gold:
As the paper-money financial world is revealed to be fictional, people have been rushing to invest, once again, in "real" gold.
Nick Rankin unlocks the history and enduring fascination of the rare yellow metal that has been integral to economic exchange systems for millennia.
From King Midas to gold-rushes, from bling to Wall Street, this three-part series takes in the global realities and rich symbolism of the coveted mineral that shines on us all.
