Quite an amazing programme about the 'Artful Dodgers', a forgery team who fooled the world of experts.
An eccentric family - a father who loved telling stories and a son who was a fantastic artist - together made just amazing copies of long lost masterpieces.
They were only rumbled when a spelling mistake was made in one of the pieces....I guess they're eccentric all right!
But deep down there was a different motivation than your typical forger - they lived in squalor and poverty - instead it was the thrill.
