Written by Rumpolecreator John Mortimer, this ITV series dealt with the high-rolling, high-risk world of art and auction houses.
Richard Wilson – forever remembered as Victor Meldrew – played Ben Glazier, an internationally acknowledged authority on Renaissance painting with a fine line in pinstripe suits and very nice ties. Jan Francis (Penny from Just Good Friends) costarred as Maggie Perowne, Head of Old Masters at Klinsky’s Auction House.
Robert Lang played the chairman of Klinsky’s, Lord Bernard Holloway, with Susan Engel as his wife and Marsha Fitzalan as his mistress, Camilla Mounsey.
Episodes were filmed in London, New York and Moscow.
The supporting guest cast included Sir John Gielgud, Dame Thora Hird, Ian Carmichael, Keith Barron, Phyllida Law, and Martin Clunes.
