What was this documentary show?

It was a British show, but aired on Bravo in the U.S.

It followed a British guy who spent a week(about) with different group/person and experienced their life.

He did one show on Christians, one on Black Supremacists, one where he followed Adult movie actors, and many others.

Anyone remember this show? The main aspect of the guy is that he was very nice and people opened up to him because he didn't judge them.

I think his name might have been Mark, but I'm not sure.

I remember one Black Supremacist showed him a store where he bought pants made of Horse Leather. He wouldn't leave the store until the host admitted "white folk" killed the horse.

Anyone else remember this?

I do remember it- I used to catch it from time to time, never planning to see it but was always really interested in it when I would stumble upon it. The guy's name is on the tip of my tongue. I'll probably think of it as I'm driving home tonight...

Are you thinking of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends?

Heh, I adored Louis Theroux's Wierd Weekends. I followed it religiously and I would still if it was still showing. My favorite line, from the alien abduction show.."its rectum is bubbling" following by retching.

The man had a stronger stomach than mine, I could not have got the words out, just the retching part, following by full out garking.
