Brown Sugar Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Just wanted to know if anyone else here watched Louis theroux's weird weekends, I know most of them are quite old but he has made some recently new ones, so, what do you guys think and if you haven't seen any, it's definitely worth it they are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnorg Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I love him. The bit he did on the Phelpses (I assume it was on this show) was great. No angling, no skewing of facts - he just told their story like it was and they turned out to be batsh*t insane. I also enjoyed the episodes on hunting in Africa and the criminality in South Africa. Great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3minty3 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 He did alot of BBC specials quite recently which I loved. My favourites were "Louis and the Brothel", "Behind Bars" and "Gambling in Las Vegas". He's also making another 10 episodes of these specials, 3 of which have already been broadcast.

They were called "A Place for Paedophiles" and "The city addicted to crystal meth". I only watched the last one. As for the other episodes the only one I know of that might be coming out soon in "law and order in lagos". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Pink Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Scott central up in this thread! Love Louis Theroux. Behind Bars was amazing. Amazing how open and blasé some of the inmates spoke of their crimes and how some of them just seemed to accept their fate. Some of it was sad other parts where just "wtF?!" This one was mental!

rhyn Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) he has made some recently new ones, so, what do you guys think You sir, have just made my week. Also in reference to the video above, that is the most I've ever seen Louis lose his cool. Edited August 10, 2010 by rhyn SRS Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIKKS66 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Love his documentaries, or the ones I've seen anyway. The wrestling one was pretty funny. Haven't got round to watching the Phelps one yet but I'm sure it's the same old sh*te ya hear from those bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
