A new British reality TV show, which will film two people -- one disfigured, the other attractive -- living together in a house full of mirrors, has been branded a "freak show" by critics.

In each episode of Channel 4's "Beauty and the Beast," a different pair will be followed by cameras both inside and outside the house, to explore how people's lives are shaped by their looks.

"Channel 4 pledged an end to this kind of voyeuristic programing when they announced the finish of Big Brother," said Vivienne Pattison, director of campaign group Mediawatch UK.
