The Art Of The Matter
Wednesday, 18 February 2009 21:00 FIVE

While buying second-hand furniture from elderly couple Anita and Brian, Archie spots what he thinks is a genuine Banksy on the wall. On learning the potential worth of the piece, Archie buys it from Anita at a fraction of its value and opens his own art gallery to showcase the work.
At the launch party, Archie meets art lover, Willoughby, and auction house rep, Henrietta, who claims she can get Archie more for the Banksy at her auction. As Archie considers Henrietta's offer, Jamie feels guilty about making fast cash out of Anita and Brian and decides to give them more cash. But, at their house, he's shocked to discover that Brian is an expert in faking art.
Jamie arrives at the auction warehouse too late to stop the sale but just as he manages to tell Archie the Banksy is fake, DI Murray turns up with fraud investigator, Willoughby, on the trail of art fraudster Picasso, who he now thinks is Archie. Archie realises he must get the Banksy back from the buyer before they discover it's fake - and before he's branded a major criminal.
Jamie breaks in and steals the piece but when Brian and Anita dump all their other illegal paintings at the warehouse, Archie must flee with all the evidence. As Jamie and Archie are pursued along the M6, it looks like Archie's luck is about to run out...
