    Louis has gained access to a Californian mental hospital housing convicted paedophiles.

    Has He Gone Too Far?

    Presumably it's actually a lot less "dangerous" for him than some of the previous ones, unless he goes in dressed as a schoolboy.

    Although tbh, I think he's a massive twat, so I don't really care.

    California isn't THAT far away. I got a plane to LA last year. It was a trek, but quite doable.

    "Why do you want to have sex with kids?"

    "I think they have right purdy lips."

    "You realise that makes you a paedophile?"

    "Yes, I'm in a mental hospital for paedophiles."

    "Back to you in the studio."

    There was a two hour documentary on the other day called Deliver us from Evil, it was about paedos and the church, quite interesting, the paedo who was interviewed on there was quite disgusting, it was almost as if he found his actions funny in some way or another.

    I think the producers of his shows include that in every press release, as he drifts further and further away from the micro-reporting that once made him interesting and entertaining. He's now sinking in generic 'controversial' topics which are too wide-sweeping for his style of effectively letting his subjects interview themselves.

    Louis Theroux could talk to a shit shoveling farm hand and he'd make it riveting television.

    His programs are always superb stuff. Just a shame the Michael Jackson one fell through thanks to Bashir, that one would have been legendary I am sure.

    Yup, me too. I've got most of his stuff on DVD and always enjoy watching it. Hope tonight's episode is up to his usual standard.

    Anyone claming LT's work is documentary material == nutter.

    Anyone claiming LT's work is not entertaining == nutter.

    He can manage to provide insight into the people he's talking to, that's interesting enough.

    Will I be able to watch this on BBC i-player? I think my roof aerial needs adjusting as I've been having trouble receiving BBC channels lately.

    Actually, it seems to be very much the case here. It's showcasing what Louis is very good at.

    This is really fascinating.

    Yep, better than expected - he seems to be focusing on individuals rather than the wider issue, which is absolutely where he works best.

    I know they have only chosen to show the ones who were willing to talk to the camera... but it is uncomfortable just how open and honest some of them are about their crimes. But I guess that's all part of the process.

    Paedophiles are ignorant of aspect ratios, it's a well known fact.
