It's on now. I'm not sure what an American would think of it but I'm enjoying it.

Pretty ruff place. It's funny how the police and the locals exist together.
There's also a 25 year old girl on 25 bags of brown a day.

apparently, he documented the whole thing using only the word "fuck"

That was a really good documentary. That place looks like dalston and hackney which are pretty violent areas, but nothing like phillys 30 to 40 killings a month. Hard to imagine what it must be like to have to live in a place that has random driveby shootings, drug dealings and prostitutes outside your front window.

reminded me of liverpool - except that if you had a gun in liverpool someone would steal it, and the code of silence/"no snitching" thing is replaced with "keep spouting incomprehensible gibberish until they give up".

Yep, Toxteth in Liverpool is the scariest place I've ever been. Beats London hands down for shit hole factor.

I like Theroux. Mostly know him from Michael Moore's TV Nation, where he infiltrated and reported on weird sectarian communities like nudists and nazis.
Especially his report on nazis sticks out, where his obviously jewish ass was somehow able to penetrate their inner circle, and expose the utter retardedness unhindered.
Nice to see him active again and will look out for this one. Thanks for the heads up.

i don't know what motivates him to continue reporting on all the crooked shit in this world but i'm glad he's taken up the challenge.

He actually isn't Jewish and he says that on the documentory. But that was the most interesting one i have seen. All of his stuff is brilliant though - look out for one with Jimmy Savile. That was pure comdey gold. "The Dutchess"
