A week-long series of five programmes hosted by Miranda Sawyer that follows six people from Londonderry, Northern Ireland as they go on a tour in search of art for their own exhibition.

Tonight's opening programme films the six, none of whom is a recognised expert, talking about their personal art preferences and conducting a tour of the city and its many murals.
On the first leg of their tour they meet leading Irish artists such as Catherine Harper, who uses bogland materials in her sculptures, and Dorothy Cross.
A series of short films, shown throughout the week, gives the reactions of artists and Londonderry locals to the group's selections.
