FAKE OR FORTUNE?
TUESDAY, 8PM, BBC1 FACTUAL
Paintings by famous artists can go for millions at auction and there are people up and down the country unaware that they may have a valuable work of art on their wall!
Since 2011, Antiques Roadshow host Fiona Bruce and art dealer Philip Mould have been investigating the mysterious origins of intriguing artworks in BBC1’s Fake or Fortune?, which is back for its 10th series this week.
In four new investigations, Fiona and Philip once more use old-fashioned detective work and cutting-edge science to determine whether they’ve unearthed priceless masterpieces - or cheap copies.
In an exclusive interview with TV Times, Philip, 62, tells us about being an art sleuth.
Could you have predicted you’d reach 10 series of the show?
Never! We always wondered whether we could bring art history to BBC1 but our very first programme - centred on French artist Monet - seemed to strike a chord with people. That’s when we realised it is possible to bring complex, academic subjects to a big audience if it’s presented with an intelligent and light touch. It was a really exciting moment.
What’s the appeal of the show?
