Anyone else here love his programmes?
There's a new one on this sunday, "A City Addicted To Crystal Meth", should be good.
I think he's great the way he conducts himself around the people he meets and considering some of the places he's been.

It was from the "When Louis Met..." series. He stayed with him for a while, and yes he is rather an odd character, lol.
The Chris Eubank one was well funny, and the Hamiltons one was a quality programme.
I highly recommend this box set, they're all on there

I really like his methods. He doesn't conduct himself as a normal journalist interviewer type, and he comes across very naive, which allows whoever he is interviewing to speak more freely, and in the case of celebs, it panders to their ego's and they almost try to shock, cos of his naive approach. However I think he is FAR from naive, and is actually a very very clever and calculating man, who is very good at what he does and acts his part very well indeed.....

As above great viewing.
Did anyone see the episode where he went to a prison for paedophiles. I don't know what he thought he'd get out of that one, but imo I didn't think that one was right. The cunts who were living there should have all been put into a small room and gassed.

Yeah i saw it and thought he presented it really well. He's not afraid to be blunt with his questions.
You might not agree of housing paedo's in that facility but the programme was still good.
Going to watch the crystal meth one, im sure itll be interesting.

And about the bluntness, don't you think he comes across as being a bit nieve (sp?) about things in a funny way. He's the best person to do the off the wall documentary's anyway

Do you think he's naive or is he asking the questions he thinks the viewers would want to know?
But yeah, that place must cost an absolute fortune, and only 1 person had ever been 'rehabilitated' back into the community anyway.

I don't think he's naive, it's just his mannerisms when he approaches people with his questions which makes me think "if he acts naive he'll be safe". If that makes any sense, don't want to come across as contradicting myself? ![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
He's obviously a clever bloke who can place himself in any given situation asking the most awkward questions and not get any major grief about it.

As said, he puts them at ease, and poses his questions in a non-threatening manner, so people tend to open up more, even if they set out to try and resist.
He's as neutral as he possibly can be around people, and makes sure he's never too judgemental, just factual.
I think he's brilliant myself.

Until I got involved......

He's good, I remember the wrestling thing he did, and another about a dominatrix type thing where the woman wanted to truss him up and 'broaden his horizons' with a big dildo!

I liked the one he did in Harlem on the Black Supremacists/Nationalists/Racists, whatever you want to call them. Was pretty shocking some of it and i imagine intimidating in some of the situations he was in.
Watching this one now, should be good.

Yeah, his wifes been at it for about 27yrs or something?
Cant beleive the human body can withstand that abuse.
This is the reason Sudafed only sell the 'congestion relief' (containing phenylehprine)
![](http://www.superdrug.com/content/ebiz/superdrug/invt/40975/40975_l.jpg)
and started withdrawing the 'decongestant' (containing pseudoephedrine)
![](http://www.allcures.com/images/products/39370.jpg)
because people make speed and meth from it. Might still be on sale in smaller packsizes, im not sure.
I thing pseudoephedrine has been Prescription-Only in the USA for longer than here, then again, its piss easy to get prescriptions there.
