When Louis Met... is a series of documentary films by 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 Jimmy Savile (When Louis Met... Jimmy) was voted one of the top 50 documentaries of all time in a survey by Britain's Channel Four. In another episode ("When Louis Met... the Hamiltons"), the Tory MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine were arrested during the course of filming following allegations of indecent assault which were subsequently found to be false. The show did not return for a third series; Theroux said that he had difficulty in finding people to appear.
