'''''When Louis Met...''''' is a series of documentary films by [[Louis Theroux]]. The series was originally broadcast on [[BBC Two]] from 2000–20022000 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 [[Jimmy Savile]] (''When Louis Met Jimmy'') was voted one of the top 50 documentaries of all time in a survey by [[Channel Four]]. 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. The show did not return for a third series, and Theroux said that he had difficulty in finding people to appear.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/2522191.stm |title=Entertainment &#124; Theroux quits award-winning show |publisher=BBC News |date=2002-11-28 |accessdateaccess-date=2014-03-06}}</ref>
