Just seen an ad on BBC2 as I was in this topic. Apparently Louis Theroux is off to see the Westboro Baptist Church next week. That should be... interesting.

Louis Theroux did a follow up called America's Most Hated Family In Crisis. It airs on BBC sometime early April. The blurb on the BBC site says a couple of the daughters featured in the first documentary have since broken away, and that the family has gotten even weirder (yes, weirder) since the 2007 doc.

I think she is, I remember him talking about it on the radio and it sounded like one of the daughters was the focus of the whole thing.

I caught the end of Fern and there was some sort of blind date game featuring dogs and at the end Fern said they had booked the new couple a restaurant and a hotel. How forward of her.

It's most certainly got a lot better. Wouldn't say it's spectacular, however.

The No campaign. The fact they are actual posters is appalling really. It's phenomenally misleading and scaremongering in it's rawest form.

Between the horrid posters and the immediately-debunked £250m quote, I don't understand why the no campaign even exists if they're having to make up their entire platform out of thin air. Are they just being contrary?

FPTP entrenches the Conservatives and Labour. It also keeps the parties together, without it you'd see splinter groups forming inside both - Think of how the far right in the Tories are aligned much more with UKIP than they are the Lib Dems, or how you can still point to Old and New Labour inside the same party. It's worth a lot of money to certain people to keep it as it is, so that money gets spent.

Pretty much. They don't want to engage in the actual argument so have decided instead to muddy the waters as much as possible.

Normally I don't do follow-ups. But I'd made an exception in this case because of an e-mail I'd received from one of the fire-breathing young zealots I'd interviewed on my first trip, announcing she'd left the church. She cited our conversations as one of the influences.

She had now changed her life, found a boyfriend and had zero contact with anyone still inside the church, including her family. A little research revealed that several others I'd met on my first visit were also now apostates. This included Steve's own daughter, Lauren.

On one of the review shows on Radio 4 someone literally described it as poo poo. But from the ads it does look pretty decent so I'm going to watch anyway.

You're in luck then, if the pilot's anything to go by, it's exactly the same as it. Down to the sleazy character going after the klutzy new staff member, the wacky support staff and the insane boss. Like...this could easily be another series of Green Wing.

But that's just what I got from the pilot.
