What happens
Extraordinary Portraits is a BBC Television series produced by Chatterbox Media, in which members of the public who have a notable achievement are paired with an artist to have their portrait painted, or in some cases drawn, photographed, or sculpted. It first aired on 14 February 2022. The first two series were presented by Tinie Tempah; series three to five by Bill Bailey. All the sitters in series three were related to the NHS, to mark its 75th anniversary. An exhibition of works from the first two series was held at Turner Contemporary in 2022. From 13 March to 6 April 2025, during Bradford's year as UK City of Culture, an exhibition of the portraits from series four was held at the city's Loading Bay venue. Series four and five were filmed at Kelmarsh Hall in Northampton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
