This four-part series features a clinic in Yorkshire “far away from the pricey clinics of Harley Street and Hollywood” (as narrator Lucy Beaumont puts it, as if introducing a fairy story). Here top surgeons and doctors are available, free of charge, to help people find ways of either adjusting their looks, or building the confidence to literally face the world.

First to be welcomed by a homely receptionist were Mia L, Mia R and Terry. Mia L’s severe alopecia had resulted in complete hair loss, which a “friend” remarked made her “look like an egg” (Mia has apparently since made some new, rather more supportive sounding friends).
And then we fast forward 18 months as the trio make their way back to Yorkshire for the big reveal – just like the before and after shots on Interior Design Masters. Though Terry likens this part of the process to Stars in Their Eyes (“this evening, Matthew… Terry has turned up”, as he amusingly put it), his transformation was indeed astonishing.

An underlying message here is the paucity of availability on the NHS for these sorts of treatment.

This one was precision tooled to bother the tear ducts, complete with tinkly piano soundtrack and the sort of warm interactions between staff members that you find on For the Love of Dogs with Alison Hammond.
Or, as Terry puts it: “I have to love myself before anyone else is going to accept me.”
‘Love My Face’ continues next Thursday at 10pm on Channel 4
