Louis Theorux has done it again; this man can do no wrong. Last night we were treated to Louis wandering the streets of Philadelphia interviewing hardened criminals for an insight into the drug trade.
Theres something about Theroux that means even when he's walking into dark vacant houses to take a peek at a dead body (he did this last night by the way) you still have a smile on your face; he has an incredible knack of blending the comic and the tragic. This was probably the first time you could see the fear behind his specs, yet he still managed to crack some hilarious jokes.... for instance
"I'm travelling with Paul Hunter, known simply as Hunter."
This documentary was truly heartbreaking at times with tales of drug addiction and young gun victims; it made me want to watch an episode of the wire... and i dully did!

Here's a taster, the full episode is available for a week on the bbc-iplayer.
Louis is back on our screens next week in Johannesburg; he better have that bullet proof vest on damn tight!
