"Secrets and Seduction at a London Auction House" was the tagline for this 90's drama / comedy series, while the premise might not sound riveting stuff to many, this short lived series was helmed by two enigmatic, well loved national treasures Richard Wilson and Jan Francis, along with being created by John 'Rumpole' Mortimer, it certainly wasn't for the lack of producers trying something a bit different.
This is episode one and it was originally broadcast on Monday 10th January, 1994 and on ITV and guest stars Sir John Gielgud. Under the Hammer only managed to survive one series and there were seven episodes in all.

What a gem of a series. Until an hour ago I ah no idea of its existence. Back in the early 1990's I was working all hours I could for a deposit on a flat. I am familiar with Rumpole which I enjoyed but this very good. Thank you for sharing.

I don't even remember this series. I really enjoyed it and a lovely cameo from the wonderful Alfred Burke.

Thanks for this Major D! I still don't know how, but I completely missed this programme when it was aired. The lovely Jan, plus the bonus of the wonderful Richard Wilson. Great stuff! Cheers.

Superb acting & quality story aside, I've an admiration for forgers of beautiful art, they are still artisans regardless of their reputation. What is worse is a fake painting, or a rogue art dealer, who knowingly takes thousands/ millions for a painting when they know full well the provenance of the painting. Caveat emptor is the maxim that should never be overlooked, when handing over hard earned money.
