Duration: 45 minutes

Series following the fortunes of amateur and professional artists from all over the United Kingdom, as they battle it out for a spot at the Show Me the Monet grand exhibition and sale at the Royal College of Art in London, where members of the public and the art world alike will bid to buy the best of the art work on show.

Contenders could stand to make some serious cash, but first they need the seal of approval from three of the art world's toughest critics. To win a spot at the exhibition and the chance to sell and make some money from their work, hopeful artists must first face the Hanging Committee, where their hopes and dreams could be made or dashed.

Will Ronnie Shahmoon, a sufferer of Parkinson's disease, succeed with his art work made out of plugs and sockets? If it connects with the judges it could win him a place in the grand exhibition at the Royal College of Art.
