Production has resumed on the second series of White Gold, following the dismissal of sexual assault allegations made against its star Ed Westwick.
The BBC Two series – which is set in the 1980s and also stars Inbetweeners actors James Buckley and Joe Thomas as double glazing salesmen – has started filming once again (reports Chortle) after production was initially halted in November last year as Westwick dealt with accusations of sexual misconduct, which he had always strongly denied.
The actor was accused of sexual assault by three women but each case was dismissed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney in July, and no charges were brought against him.
In August, Westwick confirmed to TMZ that he would be returning to acting following the dismissal of the charges.
He said: “I’m delighted that everybody got it right. I’ll be back to work very soon.”
Also in August, Westwick’s White Gold co-star Buckley posted this picture to his Instagram page, and now it seems series two is all-systems-go again.

While Westwick will be back to film the second run of White Gold, he was previously edited out of BBC One’s Agatha Christie drama Ordeal by Innocence while he dealt with the accusations.
The airdate was pushed back from Christmas to Easter, with the cast reshooting scenes with Christian Cooke, who replaced Westwick in the role of Mickey Argyll.
