No, but I did watch something similar on the BBC.

There's an article about the mask here.

Unfortunately the "get the mask" link tries to take you to the original
program information which used to be here, but the Beeb don't keep info
about old programmes around for very long.

The BBC have a rather odd way of dealing with "not found" errors - they
take you to a different page without mentioning that the page was not
found. This can be quite confusing when you've come to the page through
a stealth link like that on the TLC page.

More info from the guys who developed the mask can be found here
