In a world where attraction is often based purely on looks, and social media encourages us to choose a potential date in a split second, judged solely on someone's appearance, Sexy Beasts uses Hollywood prosthetics to transform people before they go on a first date, taking their real looks out of the equation. Using personality alone, can they find that elusive spark, and meet 'The One'? In this episode, Bethany the witch gets to date Ricardo the purple-headed alien, Scott the little old man from Essex, and the 6ft 7in tall creature known as FrankenJosh. Will her swing date be dreadfully misread by one of the boys? Can she find true love whilst being hurled around on the dodgems, whilst confused members of the public look on, wondering what a witch is doing there in the first place? The real faces of the people involved are only revealed to everyone in the show and to us at home after all the dating is done. Having picked her favourite, will he be the kind of guy she normally goes for when she sees him for real, or has dating someone without knowing what they look like led her to choose someone different to her norm, and could this be love?... Susan Calman narrates.
