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.

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
