BBC One
on BBC One London

There are many different ways to spend E500 on art. For the BBC collection, the Marchioness of Douro decided to commission a portrait of herself. But what kind of portrait, and who should she choose to do it?
She seeks advice from George Melly , one of Britain's most portrayed men, photographer John Swannell , cartoonist
Ralph Steadman and painter Linda Atherton. Does she make the right choice? In any case, who ever likes their own portrait?
