5/9. Greece. Until recently, the Greeks, though proud of their history, have mostly taken their rich heritage for granted or not had the money or the will to look after it.
Now the situation is changing. The Greeks are fighting to protect their past as never before: they have started to crack down, not just on smugglers but also on museums that may, knowingly or not, have disputed treasures in their collections. Rosie Goldsmith tracks down the politicians, police and archaeologists pursuing the looters, as well as the smugglers and dealers trying to avoid them. Producer Rosy Voudouri Repeated on Monday at 8.30pm
