found it on their site now. But no iplayer video, even though I seen it advertised? maybe you have to watch on the day of the ad

Is iPlayer not the thing on their digital Tv interactive service? You press the red button on your remote.

legend thanks.

top notch show, as usual from Theroux (I highly recommend his book as well)

San Quentin looks like a genuinely hellish place

as Johnny Cash sang:

San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.

repeated bbc2 24th january at 11.20 approx.

How often does Theroux do these documentaries? I've enjoyed the 3 i've seen.

He has done loads of them "Most Hated Family" in America I think was his best. It was insane how close he gets to this tight groups that usually abhor outsiders. His Vegas one was good and his plastic surgery one was like car crash TV. Didn't wanna watch t but loved it! Not...that I...love...car crashes!

He used to have a whole series of Weird Weekends where he'd just spend a couple of days doing different things. Remember when he met Jim 'll Fix it! that was kind of creepy! Most of them are on...certain sites.

Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends was where he went round the US meeting various crazies - in his book "Call of the Weird" he went back to revisit a lot of them to see what had happened to them in the meantime (partly out of guilt that he had ridiculed some of them in the series).

He then did a series called "When Louis met..." where he hung out with the likes of Anne Widdecombe (Tory battleaxe), the Hamiltons (publicity-mad corrupt politicians) and Jimmy Saville (mad as a bag of hammers)

all of these are superb and well worth picking up if you can get hold of them.
