    The woman laughingly saying "you're afraid of him, aren't ya?"
    Uh, yeah. He just smashed a window in order to get close enough to attack a random person. Chimps are one of the few animals that are intelligent enough to be capable of cruelty, and if you've ever seen the results of a chimp attack, it is absolutely brutal.

      The worst thing is that chimps are very unlikely to harm you if you're actually in their habitat as a human. If you watch that Chimp netflix documentary and interviews with scientists and producers who made it, it shows they'll pretty much ignore you if you're in their habitat. Take them out of it and keep them confined and they're very different. Moral of the story, let them be what they are and they're fine. But that leads back to their intelligence, they fully understand keeping them captive is wrong. They fully understand if you're in their environment and mean no harm, they'll ignore you.

      I hear the story about chimps.. the one chimp used to have an owner. .. the owner would come give him birthday cakes and not get one for all the other chimps. One day the other chimps, saw the cake that wasn't for them, got jealous and fucked the chimp and the guy up I believe. Chimps are capable of some pretty intricate emotions, violence and reason for said violence.

    Louis is a clever interviewer, he'll often asks questions that seem stupid but he does it to provoke some kind of a reaction. He'll also often not say anything in response to his questions, so that the person he's interviewing feels compelled to keep talking and possibly reveal stuff they wouldn't ordinarily say. The clever part is knowing when to use these tactics.

    Louis Theroux is such a good interviewer and how he stays so calm is incredible. He also points out the flaws in the arguments of small minded people so easily and is so polite even when being put in danger and being told terrifying things.

    I love Louis Theroux to bits. He puts himself into life-threatening situations that make you wonder whether he is a slave to entertaining his viewers - or whether he truly has a death wish? He never shows he's scared of any of the crazy places he visits (Johannesburg - jeezus?!!!) and he is so polite and self-deprecating he doesn't really upset anyone, not even that crazy Wesboro' "church" mob who invited him back three times. It's hard not to be impressed by this lovely man.

      I do not think that what she meant by the term 'slave' is we are all 'slaves' to money and our government. Or being owned by someone and you are forced to work for next to nothing daily (That still actually sounds the same as being owned by our government and being slaves for them to take our money)
      I think she was using the word slave as a term more like 'he is a slave to entertain people who watch his documentaries' or a slave to the rush/high/excitement one might get out of being in a dangerous situation for his job.'

      He tried to get back in touch with her. He did a book years later that revisited a lot of people involved with his weird weekend interviews, especially in the states.
      Its called 'The Call of the Weird' as he felt drawn to go back and revisit these people (especially as it would make a good book).
      He asked around a few brothels (as you do) and I think he just missed her at one by a week or so.
      She was getting thrown out of them for getting drunk or high and being rude to clients and pissing off all the other workers.
      She did not seem like she was well liked amongst her peers or employers (especially when off her face).
      Her and Luis did seem to have rapport and chemistry (who know what Luis might have done in the name of research if he didnt have a GF at the time) but she wasn't a nice person from the sounds of it from other people's accounts of events.

    In that Pedophile episode, Louis found that one of the pedo's had a picture of a young male dancer in tights on his wall and pointed it out to the staff. The pedo said: "I just like the shape of the dancer" or something like that. Yeah right... So Louis brought it up to the staff and the staff all of a sudden decided it was inappropriate and they decided to take it down. Yeah, no sh!t it's inappropriate. That whole episode was an uncomfortable watch, but that stuck with me as it showed how something can seem right from the people inside a situation and then an outside person gives a completely different perspective on how wrong something actually is.

    Louis really reminds me of my brother (also a journalist).

He's nothing like that in reality, he's a very normal and goofy person lol, but he has the technique for interviewing people and getting their real selves to come out. It takes real talent and intellect to be able to turn that on and off.

    As an avid self-proclaimed Documentary Geek, Louis is one of my favourite documentary makers. He rarely goes in with the killer questions although sometimes, he has no other option, taking the 'Are you a p....' question he asked Savile as a prime example. He generally always goes in with a softly softly approach, allowing people to feel comfortable with the conversation whilst gradually giving the more and more rope on which they inevitably hang themselves with. Likewise, if he's covering topics such as Mental Health or Mothers who struggle to bond with their children, his level of empathy without being either patronising or judgemental is joy to watch. I call him a fence sitter and that's how all good Documentary makers should be, leave your own opinions and judgements at home, no matter how strongly you feel about the subject and allow them to take the narrative in their direction.
    I did shake my head however when he did the Documentary on Scientology. I've seen 100's on that cult and every one turns out the same; Scientology just put up a brick wall and no matter what, no one can even ask intelligent questions let alone get a vaguely intelligent answer from them. They cost John Sweeney, an equally fantastic Documentary maker/Investigative Reporter his career on the BBC in the early 2000's. he self funds a lot of his work now and is doing some great work.

      Oops. We moved to Johannesburg three years ago. The Westrand, known as the Woesrand. But we travel all over Joburg, and make sure to try not to travel at night after 10. Having lived in " safer" places, Cape Town and the Garden Route, we've adapted very quickly. I think I would be more scared to stay in some American cities, where the gangs, religious fanatics and neo Nazis are.
      Also, we have fallen asleep here, forgetting to lock the back and front doors, the first time we forgot to lock our balcony door in Lakeside, Cape Town, an intruder came in over an 8 foot wall with glass embedded in it - luckily one of my daxies who was sleeping in the bed woke up and set the others off, and I think the intruder should have applied to the Olympics, because he cleared that wall in one giant leap!

    The commentary is interesting. However, I note that they made at least one mistake. They said that Jimmy Savile was a 'convicted offender'. He was never convicted, and he died unprosecuted. While Theroux did ask Saville about rumours at the time, there was no substantive evidence in the public domain, and Theroux has subsequently lamented that he failed to press Saville and fell for his eccentric character act.
