Extraordinary People is a channel five series documentary, following the lives of unique individuals, with either a medical condition or an unusual ability.
The programme explores their lives and their achievements. Each hour long episode follows their day to day activites, painting a picture for the viewer of the routines they undertake due to their illnesses/conditions, and how they have perhaps overcome their difficulties.
It is a touching and moving documentary which would be classed as Observational as it chronologically follows each person, but most importantly it is styled as Poetic as it documents topics of human interest.
I have watched many episodes of the series shown on Channel Five. They are certainly interesting as they do follow bizzarre conditions which seem so extraordinary to the viewer.
It is a rather positive for the audience and is a documentary which doesn't exactly target a specific age group as lots of people watch the programme.
