Line 30:

'''''When Louis Met...''''' is a series of documentary films made by [[Bafta]] award-winning film-maker [[Louis Theroux]]. The series was originally aired on [[BBC2]] 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. His episode about the DJ and charity fund-raiser [[Sir Jimmy Savile]] ''(When Louis Met...Jimmy)'' was voted one of the top fifty documentaries of all time in a survey by Britain's [[Channel Four]]. In another episode ''("When Louis Met...The Hamiltons")'', the disgraced [[Tory]] [[Member of Parliament|MP]] [[Neil Hamilton]] and his wife Christine were arrested following false allegations of indecent assault during the course of filming.

The show did not return for a third series because Theroux admitted that he had difficulty in finding people to appear. <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/2522191.stm Theroux quits award-winning show]</ref>
