Fake or Fortune, BBC One, Review It's hard to imagine a more artfully crafted - if you'll pardon the pun - piece of Sunday night factual telly than the return of Fake or Fortune? BBC "face" Fiona Bruce and actual art expert Philip Mould had to find out if a painting - owned by punter Patrick Rice - actually was Danseuse bleue et contrebasses by Degas. Or was it just a fraudulent blue dancer, and the fraudulent tops of some double basses? Bruce and Mould investigated the painting's provenance until 1945, when it had been bought by Rice's father. A 19th-century German art dealer was mentioned on the 1945 invoice, and the pair tracked down his great-granddaughter, who vouched for the sale of the painting by her grandmother at the end of the Second World War. Then there was the science: elemental analysis of the paint, which happily revealed no trace of (inauthentically modern) titanium. The inquiry seemed real - not just staged for TV - with Bruce genuinely delighted when the Paris publishers of Degas's official catalogue finally confirmed the painting's authenticity. The best part was when world-renowned impressionist expert Dr Anthea Callen gave her view that the authenticity of the painting was on a knife-edge. "With the greatest respect to you, Anthea, connoisseurship is an opinion, and there will be several opinions," said Bruce. "Of course," came Dr Callen's butter-wouldn't-melt reply. But some people are more informed than others.
