Louis Theroux spends time with ex-Conservative MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine, a couple whose names have rarely been absent from media headlines in recent years. While Louis is in their company, newspaper and TV interest intensifies with accusations of a serious sexual assault, from which the Hamiltons were later cleared. With the press camped out of the couple's doorstep, Louis gains an insight into living in the full glare of the media spotlight.

one of my favourite bits is when she uses the flowers sent by Audrey from coronation street to pose with for the photo call
Made 4 years before I was born I didn't really know who these people were, but Louis not only intrigued me but invested me. These guys are weirdos to the Nth degree, and their old rich ways of talking are bloody fascinating.
“It’s a permanent source of regret that the one thing I’ve never been involved in is a sex scandal.”
This is the one. The episode of When Louis Met that you could hook to an IV drip and put into my veins. Everything about When Louis Met The Hamiltons is bizarre, off-the-wall and feels like a scripted drama with the amount of plot twists involved (although it’s anything but).
Max Clifford even gets a mention due to the allegations levied against the Hamiltons. Given that the disgraced Clifford got his own episode of When Louis Met, it looks like this is when the Louis Theroux Cinematic Universe started coming together. Neil’s banner problem is also an unintentionally brilliant laugh, and is so reflective of when the internet was in its relative infancy.
Anyone up for petitioning Neil and Christine to do Posh Nosh on YouTube?
this episode, unbelievable. louis theroux is so dear to me, i love him and all of his docs, but this one in particular was so fun. his face when he finds out theyre being arrested is crazy
Louis Theroux is the best interviewer of our (different generation to me though icl) generation without a doubt.
also he was looking so fit in this omg
