anyone record it too ?

great program aswell


During a 17-year-crime spree, 84-year-old George, his wife Olive, 83, and their 47-year-old son Shaun systematically deceived art experts and collectors with a series of forged art works that Shaun knocked up in his garden shed in Bolton.

Even though Shaun had never spent a day at art school in his life, he was able to produce a sculpture of a faun that went on display credited as a long-lost Gaugin.

Even more convincing were the stories George would come up with to explain to experts how a 3,000 year-old Egyptian statue, valued at a shade under ?500,000, just happened to come into his possession.
