Louis Theroux has revealed he's considered bringing back his popular When Louis Met… series.

The documentary, which aired on BBC Two from 2000-2002, featured Louis spending time with a number of high-profile (and often polarising) figures, including Paul Daniels and wife Debbie McGee, publicist Max Clifford, Conservative MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine, boxer Chris Eubank and Jimmy Savile.

As for who he would profile this time around, Louis told the Radio Times: "Tommy Robinson (leader of the English Defence League) is too much on the front burner for me right now.

"I'm more interested in stories about people who maybe are not riding as high as they once were — maybe Nigel Farage or Julian Assange.

"Farage seems to be more in the wings, more in the margins," he added.

Along with Farage, Louis also revealed he'd be interested in making a documentary about US actress Roseanne Barr, following her axing from her own ABC series.

"I also like stories about people who have been somehow defrocked, or have fallen from grace," he continued.

"Roseanne Barr, the American actor and comedian, would be a good person to make a documentary about."

Louis's latest documentary series Altered States sees him travel to the US again to investigate adoption, polyamory and euthanasia.

The first episode looks at the adoption industry, which involves a lot of money and a lot of abuse. Episode two sees Louis talk to people who have experienced the positives and negatives of poly relationships, while the final episode will have him explore the moral and legal complications of euthanasia.

Louis Theroux's Altered States continues on Sunday night (November 18) at 9pm on BBC Two. When Louis Met... is available to stream now on Netflix.
