A hugely enjoyable 4-DVD box set and a must for all Louis fans. Including:

WEIRD WEEKENDS: Porn, Head for the Hills,Swingers, Black Nationalism, Wrestling, South Africa,Thai brides, Gangsta Rap.

Plus : WHEN LOUIS MET: Jimmy (Saville), Paul and Debbie (Daniels and Magee), Chris Eubank, Ann Widdecombe,and the all time classic......THE HAMILTONS!!!!......also included Louis and the Nazis, Louis and the Brothel and TV Nation clips.

Louis uses his none- judgemental style to win over his subjects in most cases, allowing them to open up and expose their, eye-popping, cringeworthy, hilarious and blood boiling lives to the viewer. Louis' ability to contain his views is admirable, whilst slipping in the odd,brilliantly timed witty remark that has become his trademark over a decade of broadcasting.
His time spent with Great British oddities like Jimmy Saville is engrossing and makes for fantastic viewing. Watching Anne Widdecombe squirm over questions about her sex life is uncomfortably compelling, whilst Louis good fortune at having full access to Neil and Christine Hamilton as a sex scandal and media frenzy surrounds them is startling. A fact not lost on the Hamiltons.
Louis is such a likeable guy and his subject matter at times, astonishing. A great body of work. If this genre is your thing,then you need this collection.
