| | Eagle-eyed viewers of the BBC's long running Fake or Fortune presented Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould were stunned this week to find that several episodes containing some of the show's more high-profile gaffes were missing from BBC iPlayer.
The programme, which sees Bruce and Mould work with art collectors to ascertain whether their pieces are genuine or fake, has been a ratings hit for the Beeb but there have been several mistakes incorporated into episodes.
In 2015, Fiona and the team famously tracked down an original Winston Churchill oil canvas painting only to conclude the episode on the understanding it was a fake.
The painting, which was owned by Charles Henty, depicted a picturesque scene of a medieval village in the south of France.
It was discovered in the coalhole of Charles' family home in London (which had once been owned by Churchill's daughter, Sarah) in the 1960s and was painted in Churchill's style but had never been authenticated.

The presenters failed to authenticate a genuine Winston Churchill painting
Episodes where gaffes occured have seemingly been removed from BBC iPlayer
After tracking down the village of St-Paul-de-Vence, Fiona and art expert Mould tried in vain to authenticate the sunny image with collector David Coombes stating categorically that he did not think the picture was by Winston Churchill.
Five years later, British artist Paul Rafferty uncovered a 'smoking gun' in the form of a thumbnail photograph Churchill painting the scene leading for the painting to be authenticated.
Just a year before the episode aired, a Churchill painting sold at Sotheby's for ?1.8 million.
Another famous episodes in which the presenters authenticated a Monet painting which was later confirmed as a fake has also not been uploaded to the platform
In the 2011 episode, the team battled to have the Bords de la Seine ? Argenteuil authenticated as an original Claude Monet only for them to be refused by the Wildenstein Institute
One of the most famous episodes in which the presenters authenticated a Monet painting which was later confirmed as a fake has also not been uploaded to the platform.
In the 2011 episode, the team battled to have the Bords de la Seine ? Argenteuil authenticated as an original Claude Monet only for them to be refused by the Wildenstein Institute.
None of series 1 of the program has been uploaded to BBC iPlayer.
A BBC spokesperson said: 'All the decisions featured on Fake or Fortune are made in good faith by experts in the field based on the evidence available at the time of recording.'
An earlier version of this article may have suggested that the Lucian Freud painting which featured in an episode of Fake or Fortune was not genuine. We are happy to clarify that is incorrect and it has been officially authenticated as a genuine Lucian Freud.
