Fake Britain reveals the extraordinary amount of fake electrical cable being found in the UK, and puts some of it to the test, with alarming results. There's a look at how the trading standards and police teams in the Midlands are cracking down on the huge trade in fake and smuggled cigarettes, and how people are being conned into believing that works of art they bought as antiques are anything but - because they have been made recently in Chinese factories!
