If you didn't see this last Sunday on BBC2 then make sure you get it on Youtube.
The Great Louie Theroux meets the Phelps family. Otherwise known as the most hated family in America. He's really one of those human beings that we'd be screwed without like Stephen Fry or Penn Jilette. His ability to get under people's skin without pissing them off or getting thrown out of the community is brilliant.
The video isn't really that terrifying or offensive because this lot are such a fringe group. Plus they're leader is gonna kick the bucket soon and in addition to that the family members are discouraged from having relationships or reproducing. Dispite this the documentary is still fascinating, Louie is still one of the few documentary makers (along with Morgan Spurlock) who can hold my attention for a whole hour.
