Beauty (2004 TV Movie)
9/10
An excellent watch.

Tom is a British aristocrat, a reclusive one and one that's given up hope of love. Not blessed with good looks, or a good heating system, his world is turned upside down when a plumber arrives, plus one.

I don't know why, but I always considered this the weakest of the trio of Trapped episodes, how wrong I was. The Trapped scenario works perfectly in this modern day retelling of Beauty and The Beast.

They managed to pack so much content into the rather limited time allowance of just 45 minutes.

It's funny, it's poignant, it's moving, the acting is spellbinding, Clunes as always is magnificent, he commands every single scene he appears in.

Guillory and Kelly are awesome as father and daughter, and I absolutely loved the charming double act of Peter Vaughan and Gwenllian Davies, they are fabulous.

Cristian Solimeno plays the part of jerk Ryan well, I think this was just before he'd become well known on Footballer's wives.

Loved it, 9/10.
