Line 23: '''''When Louis Met...''''' is a series of documentary films by [[Louis Theroux]]. The series was originally broadcast on [[BBC Two]] from 2000 to 2002. In the series, Theroux accompanied a different British celebrity in each programme as they went about their day-to-day business, interviewing them about their lives and experiences as he did so. Theroux's episode about [[Jimmy Savile]] (''When Louis Met Jimmy'') was voted one of the top 50 documentaries of all time in a survey by [[Channel 4]].<ref name="IMDBJimmy">{{~~citation~~cite web ~~needed~~\| url=https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000124764/ \| title=Channel 4's "50 Greatest Documentaries" \| publisher=IMDB \| date=~~October~~18 April 2011 \| access-date=20 March ~~2023~~2015}}</ref> In another episode (''When Louis Met the Hamiltons''), the [[Conservative Party (UK)\|Conservative]] [[Member of parliament\|MP]] [[Neil Hamilton (politician)\|Neil Hamilton]] and his wife Christine, were arrested during the course of filming following allegations of indecent assault; these were subsequently found to be false.
