Has anyone been watching this on Channel 4?

 

For those that don't know it's a programme challenging prejudice by pairing up someone with a facial disfigurement and someone obsessed with cosmetic surgery. So far there has been two episodes, and basically the person with the disfigurement tries to steer the other away from surgery. Half way through there's a guy (forgett his name) who has a severe disfigurement who asks the general public why people like him arent in TV or Movies which on the first episode was fair enough. However in the recent one he sets up a "Freak Show" ans stands in a tent so people walk in and he can ask them what they think "Is he a freak?" and "Why can't people like him be in movies." Obviously they have a chat and say he isn't a freak and that people have to be beautiful to be on TV (nicer put though) apart from one woman who walked in screamed and left (genuinly).

 

Now I have my opinions but I'd like to hear yours whether you have watched it or not.

 

Shoot.

I watched that movie, The Elephant Man, the other day, and about half way through it suddenly struck me that, in truth, the elephant man looks nothing like an elephant. I

i know the guy adam who was posing in the billboard as david beckham, really great guy and a wrestling fan, met lita at a luchagors gig with him last year. takes his disability in his stride and a complete extrovert which i think is fantastic; he's also done loads for anti-bullying campaigns and such, lovely chap.

I honestly thought this was going to be about The Undertaker and Michelle McCool for some reason.

 

In which roles though? I'm not sure I could allign them quite so quickly.

How is it presented, because when programs like this come along I can just think of

That Calexico (I think) song in that always makes me think of Dead Man's Shoes. And Olivia Colman doesn't look too bad there, but she looks pretty awful in more recent stuff.
