Video: "Beautiful People" (1.02): "How I Got My Nose"

by

Olivia Colman, Layton Williams and Luke Ward-Wilkinson

Like last week, we're once again excited to be able to share with you folks the latest episode of Beautiful People, the British comedy currently airing Stateside on Logo (our parent company).

This episode involves young Simon auditioning for a plum role in the school play, and is seriously 25 of the most brilliantly camptastic minutes of television I've seen since Solid Gold went off the air. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Enjoy, and let us know what you think!


For more Beautiful People goodies, check out the show's page on LOGOonline.com.

    I watched this episode a few weeks ago and decided it was probably my favorite episode of anything I've ever seen.  The big musical number medley, in particular, is brilliant.

    The musical number is great and so is the climactic hommage to Carrie. But what I loved most is when Simon's mum slugs the teacher.

    Agreed!  The musical number gave me goosebumps and made me wistful, but the mum's instantaneous reaction to the teacher in defense of her boy made my jaw drop, and made me clap.  Definitely my favorite moment!

    in Logo's editing of this episode! Hacking off the rest of the big song-and-dance medley was inexcusable. Rather than cut out some of this show's brilliant moments, I'd much rather see Logo schedule the show in a 45-minute timeslot so that they can fit in all the commercials they want. They're already airing Daniel Leary's "Mores For Gays" vlog in a 15-minute timeslot - the two could easily be paired up to make up a one-hour programming block.

    And for those who'd like to see the number as it was meant to be seen, check it out here.

    Full, unedited, and uncensored shows are available there.

    Don't blame LOGO, they're beholden to sponsors.

    I can understand Ianto and Gwen just fine on Torchwood, but I'm missing a lot with these people.
