New Louis Theroux BBC Two Sunday

[Bob The Skutter]

Heads up for Louis fans, new Louis documentary this Sunday. Should be interesting and fun as always.

Louis Theroux – The City Addicted To Crystal Meth

Sunday 9 August
9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO

Louis Theroux visits Central Valley, California – home to some of the most impoverished rural towns in America, where crystal-meth addiction is among the most prolific in the USA.

In Fresno, Louis finds a community ravaged by this cheap and highly addictive drug. It is hard to find anyone whose life hasn't been touched by this drug in one way or another.

As he infiltrates the town, Louis comes face to face with meth abuse as addicts invite him into their homes. He becomes surrounded by the madness of daily addiction and the meth-addled confusion which is breaking this society apart.

Don't forget frightfully depressing. This one looks to have the right mix.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I enjoyed the one he did about the most hated family in the US.

 

[Ethros]

Me loves a bit of Louis

Can't wait

 

[Captain Shaw]

I can't wait always enjoy his shows.
I have just seen the one with the most hated family in the US on you tube.
God i swear there all drugged up.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^ I keep recommending them to a friend, but he's yet to get round to them. But he never misses a Ross Kemp one.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Uch, that sounds like it's going to be even uglier than his usual stuff...

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Just a reminder, it's about to start.

 

[Holdfast]

These are usually pretty good, but hasn't he done a crystal meth one before?

 

[StolenThunder]

I thought it was interesting. Not as eye-opening as some if only because of my limited experience in drug rehab, but well worth watching.

 

[Deckerd]

I think he's trying to become a 'serious' journo.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Well, that just as hideous as I thought it would be. Meth is really a terrible, terrible drug.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

I think he's trying to become a 'serious' journo.

Well to be fair he was always a "serious journo" he just did it in an odd way about off beat things.
I just think he was more disturbed by all this than he anticipated. The whole people literally caring more about their drugs than kids and the brother and sister having sex thing was fairly disturbing, and you're talking a full city of it?

 

[Ethros]

It was an ok episode, bit of a poor mans version of the Philadelphia one a while back.

Much prefer his Weird Weekends from back in the day. I was watching the Thai Brides one the other day, so funny

 

[Captain Shaw]

Is this a one off or is there another program on sunday?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

one off as far as I am aware.
