Bill Bailey matches extraordinary NHS workers with some of the UK’s best portrait artists. In this episode, hospital porter Holly is matched with classicist painter Mark.

Holly joined the NHS as her way of giving back to the service that saved her eight-year-old daughter’s life when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Award-winning artist Mark Draisey also had a change of career when, in 2016, he reignited his love for portrait art after a 30-year career as a caricaturist and illustrator. Show less
