Rolf Harris invites three professional artists, Emma Knowles, Tom Wood and Felicity Gill to paint the portrait of Carry On legend and EastEnders star, Barbara Windsor. The Theatre Royal Stratford provides the location for the sitting where the artists have only five hours to capture Barbara before completing their portraits in just two weeks.

Artist Emma Knowles has been painting professionally since 1989 and works in acrylic on canvas describing her style as free, expressive and intuitive. Tom Wood divides his time between teaching art in Hong Kong and painting in his studio in Halifax. He works in mixed media and incorporates symbolic images into his portraits. Felicity Gill works in oils and can take up to three months to complete a painting.

Rolf follows the brushstrokes to finishing touches as the artists undertake their celebrity challenge. The finale takes place on the set of EastEnders, where Rolf reveals the three very different portraits to Barbara. However, she is only allowed to choose one of the portraits to take home to keep. Which one will it be?
