'''''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">{{citationcite web needed| url=https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000124764/ | title=Channel 4's "50 Greatest Documentaries" | publisher=IMDB | date=October18 April 2011 | access-date=20 March 20232015}}</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.
