Cursory

Viewers might feel slightly over-exposed at the moment to the crisp Italian pronunciations of Fiona Bruce, and the rather more maundering utterings of 'provenance' from her tv walker, Philip Mould.

Series 7 of Fake or Fortune is being repeated in prime time, while Series 8 seems to be getting an August burn-off at tea-time on Sunday.

Last night's repeat, first seen in September 2018, seemed immensely lazy to fans of the show. It was about a possible Giacometti sculpture. It was authenticated and auctioned back in February this year - but all Fi and Phil could manage in terms of an update was a short caption and voiceover.
