Fake Or Fortune? ABC, 9.35pm

-

This is one detective series that is fascinatin­g viewing. The art world is a haven of secrets, lies and fakes, but presenters Fiona Bruce ( AntiquesRo­adshow, pictured) and art dealer Philip Mould are here to uncover the truth. FakeOrFort­une? returns for a seventh season, investigat­ing more cases of art world mystery, trickery and fraud. Delving into history and using cutting-edge technology, the duo traverses the globe in their search for answers. Tonight, they ask whether a still-life painting by William Nicholson, bought in 2006 for £165,000, is real or an elaborate fake. The painting depicting a water jug and pears looks serene, but this investigat­ion is anything but.
