Flemish Old Master

Fiona and Philip visit a church in Port Glasgow to investigate whether a mysterious work depicting Christ after the crucifixion could be a lost masterpiece by one of the great painters of Northern Renaissance art.

Art historian Ian Macdonald thought there was something special about the painting, but he died in 2021. Now his widow Marjorie is taking up the case with the aid of the Fake or Fortune? team. Can they find the answers Ian was looking for?

Armed with a file of research and a list of seven suspects, they follow this ecclesiastical whodunnit from Scotland to Belgium, into the beguiling world of Flemish art that was once the most accomplished, and prolific, in Europe. In one of their toughest investigations yet, the team discover why it's so difficult to identify the artists behind Flemish masterpieces, and they use dendrochronology - the science of dating wood - to try to find out when the picture was painted.

Unknown Serial Killers of America

Each year the FBI estimates between 25 to 50 active serial killers hunt their prey in America, taking the lives of hundreds of innocent people annually. Often these killings keep a city on edge, a heavy fear permeating the night air before these predators are taken off our streets. Just ask those who lived through the terror of The Night Stalker, Son of Sam or The Grim Sleeper. And years later the public still can't seem to get enough of their stories which continue to be retold in documentaries and limited series. Yet for every Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy who became part of the zeitgeist and remains with us like a dark specter, there are hundreds of other unknown serial killers whose horrific actions were just as terrifying, if not worse. This new series will profile these unknown serial killers who operated in silence. Their murders haunted law enforcement, who were unable to connect all their sick dots, as more innocent lives were lost until the killers were eventually caught.
