A four-part series in which Angus Deayton probes the art of deception.
The first programme delves into the minds of real-life tricksters to find out the truth about lies. They include a man who lived a lie as film director Stanley Kubrick, a compulsive scam merchant who posed as a football club's financial saviour and a con man on the run from the police.
