“An engrossing trip through art history and Churchill’s life”

Fake Or Fortune?

“Fake or Fortune? is a reverse treasure hunt, beginning with a prize before working backwards to double-check its genuineness. It’s a paean to crossed Ts, dotted Is, and rational scholarship. Nothing untoward to see here: viewers in search of drama or scandal should certainly look elsewhere. But for those seeking an hour’s diligent reprieve from a world that can feel ever-more unpredictable, Fake or Fortune? is the real, soothing deal.”
Emily Watkins, The i

“”This was one of the best episodes of Fake or Fortune? but also one of the most frustrating. The detective work done by the programme was thorough, with presenters Philip Mould and Fiona Bruce travelling around the country to gather the evidence. The search was compelling, and the stakes felt high.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph

“This was an engrossing trip through art history and Churchill’s life.”
Carol Midgley, The Times

“As always, the real interest in this show lay in the clues picked out by discerning eyes. Art dealer Philip Mould pointed out how dabs of blue were smeared onto the green mass of a tree in the background, giving the impression of sky shimmering through the leaves – a trick typical of the British Bulldog himself.”
