Anyway… Joseph Merrick looked like this:

Which was rotten luck. To add insult to injury, in a fit of historical cruelty, the programme makers decided to digitally remove his deformities and, based on the phsyical features of his living relatives, re-create his face as he would have looked:

‘Uglier than the Elephant Man’. Great. If anyone wants me, I’ll be selling my bones to Michael Jackson.
