Sexy Beasts

The show's format involves one eligible single (male or female) and three possible suitors, all four of which have been made over with prosthetic makeup. Each "beast" will then go on a date with the singleton. Over the course of the show, two will be eliminated, at which point their make up is removed and their real identity is revealed for the first time. The remaining person is then chosen as the winner to go on a second date.{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/sexy-beasts-tv-review-another-bonkers-bbc3-programme-9122227.html|title=Sexy Beasts, TV review: Another bonkers BBC3 programme|work=The Independent|date=12 February 2014 }}

Double Toasted was highly critical of the show; calling the dates shallow and finding the makeup unnecessary. They took issue with the entire premise with Chris Herman suggesting that the series should have centered around those associated with furry fandom.{{cite web|url=https://doubletoasted.com/shows/old-movie-review-sexy-beasts-review-danny-brown-as-guest-the-sunday-service-live-530-pm-cst/|title=THE SUNDAY SERVICE - Guest Danny Brown joins us as we review 'Old' and 'Sexy Beast'.|website=Double Toasted|date=July 25, 2021|access-date=July 29, 2021}}
