Extraordinary People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Extraordinary People is a television documentary series broadcast on Five in the United Kingdom. Each programme follows the lives of people with a rare medical condition or unusual ability. Such examples are people with rare illnesses that they have survived, such as rabies and eye cancer. Many of these do activities previously thought impossible for people of their condition.
