Beauty (ITV1 2004, Martin Clunes, Sienna Guillory)

Drama. Tom Fitzhenry is a recluse whose unappealing looks have caused him to withdraw from society and live alone in his large manor house with just his two ageing servants for company. When extensive plumbing work is required the plumber and his beautiful daughter Cathy come to stay while the work is being carried out. Tom falls for Cathy and she in-turn sees past his physical appearance and brings him out of his shell. Martin Clunes wore prosthetics to ugly-up his appearance.
