The Original

From homage to director's cuts. Why are originals prized over copies? Writer Alkarim Jivani investigates. From 2008.

Duchy Originals, Levis Originals - they're part of the daily marketing blitz.

But an original Van Gogh . . . that's special.

Writer Alkarim Jivani explores why we prize originals over copies and considers the homage, the tribute, the director's cut, restoration and renovation along the way.

Producer: Simon Elmes
