Yea Big Red. Probably one of my favourite episodes. Chilling and yet confusing the way the corner boys say they won't rat on anybody, and the guy who was shot won't tell the police who did it.

Just watched the one on the most hated family in america and I'm completely disgusted! I have so much respect for Theroux for not punching one of the family members square in the jaw.

Anyone watching Louis Theroux and the Nazis on TV3? Unbelieveable.

Just watching the episode about pedophiles on RTE2.. hadn't seen it before now. The behavior of the guys and the staff seems awfully overplayed.

It's such a delicate issue though.. moreso than any subject he's dealt with so far. Some of the pateints seem to really want to better themselves.. it's hard to form an opinion on the whole thing overall really.

I am quite a big fan of his documentaries, and finds he deals with some awkward situations so well.

Yes, he mentioned this in a brief interview on Xposé a while ago. He wanted to do it after seeing TV3's 'The Truth about Travellers' programme apparently.

His early stuff "weird weekends" are fantastic. A real look at the underbelly of the US.

I can't find any info about a repeat. It's on the BBC iPlayer though.. you can probably watch it if you use a UK proxy, which afaik is legal enough

yeah, he has a few new shows in the pipeline. There's some info about it in this thread. The Lagos episode is new and aired for the first time on Sunday night

New program was great.

New episode airing on Sunday 3rd April 2011 - "America's Most Hated Family.. In Crisis"

Following up on his hugely popular and acclaimed 2007 documentary The Most Hated Family In America, Louis Theroux returns to Topeka, Kansas, for a second visit to the Westboro Baptist Church.

But, four years on from Louis's last visit, there are signs of disarray in the Phelps clan. A series of defections of family members has shaken up the church. They've been at the centre of a landmark Supreme Court case and, possibly because of the resulting attention, their beliefs have become increasingly bizarre.

Should be good.. His first show about the WBC was one of the more interesting he has done, imo

Excellent. Loved the first one.

I love Louis, did you see the one where he tried to get an interview with Michael Jackson and was refused, but they agreed to be interviewed by Martin Bashir like a week later?!

but we got big bad joe instead!!what a pri*k he was!!!

Big fan of Louis - have just been on a binge of his older docs that I hadn't seen in a while. Rewatched the "Louis and the Nazis" doc the other day - I forgot how ballsy he can be when he's put under pressure by potentially quite dangerous people. Looking forward to the new one on Sunday.

Setun

Enjoying it so far! He's being quite interrogative and a bit more aggressive than usual with his interviewing style.

That Jewish clip the ex-filmmaker guy just showed him is insane! They're absolute lunatics.

Is it just ther publicity they love or are they just nuts?

I think that the two go hand in hand for them, and they both exacerbate each other
