A heart-warming one-off doc on Louis Theroux and the various people he's filmed through the 'When Louis Met' documentaries - all of which are linked below. In this recently produced programme, he's interviewed (for a change!) along with the people he met previously - including clips of the documentaries that were filmed from the experience. Louis talks on his personality plus his time with everyone, and is interspliced with various critics quotes on him / his documentaries.
