When Louis Met... is a series of documentary films by Louis Theroux. The series was originally broadcast on BBC Two 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.

Theroux's episode about Jimmy Savile (When Louis Met Jimmy) was voted one of the top 50 documentaries of all time in a survey by Channel 4.[citation needed] In another episode (When Louis Met the Hamiltons), the Conservative MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine, were arrested during the course of filming following allegations of indecent assault; these were subsequently found to be false. The show did not return for a third series, and Theroux said that he had difficulty in finding people to appear.[1]
