The Edwards and Adebanji

The Edwards family has worked for the NHS for almost as long as there has been an NHS.

Grandmother Bea came to the UK as part of the Windrush generation and was employed as a health worker. Her daughter Gerrie has been a matron for 36 years and brought her whole family into the service: Calvin, her husband, retrained as a mental health nurse at the age of 49, and their three daughters all work for the NHS in Nottinghamshire. Rhishana, the oldest, is a senior assistant in recruitment, Brianna is a paediatric critical care nurse, and Samara, the youngest, a student nurse.

To do this family justice Bill Bailey has matched them with Adebanji Alade, the London-born, Nigerian-raised President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. No stranger to creating epic works of art, Adebanji is tested to the limit as he strives to capture The Edwards' enduring commitment to caring for people, which is almost as long-standing as the NHS itself.

Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live is an Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase.

Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
