Jess: My New Face, BBC3
Inside America's Toughest Jail, Sky One
What a difference perspective makes. If Jess: My New Face had been called The Girl With The Weird Head, Help I Look Strange, or one of those other shock titles that BBC3 is supposedly going to phase out (according to its controller recently), it would have been quite another programme. But instead of being an uncomfortable voyeuristic experience, by letting 17-year-old Jess Lee tell her own story it became a nice little insight into how appearance and self-image are connected.
Lee was an engaging narrator. "The bad news for you," she began, "is that you're going to have to watch my ugly mug for an hour."
