More recently, Louis did a show about cosmetic surgery - the "high" point of which was him getting liposuction on camera!
(He paid for the procedure out of his own money, so calm down License Fee Haters.)
The Wrestling episode is showing its age a bit - he goes backstage at WCW Nitro. But I don't think I ever saw this one, so I'll watch it.

@Doctorvee: Superb, fascinating reading, thanks!
With all the "corporate gymnastics" involved in their history, I bet Woolies is an endless source of case studies for Business Studies courses!

(I'm Agent Fowler)
1) Yes, this mall IS in the UK. In the town of Fareham, in Hampshire, on the south coast. The UK has some really big malls, this ain't one of them.
2) As I understand it, Woolworths in the UK is entirely different / separate from the old US company by the same name.
3) YAY! I'm Vaguely Famous!! \//00007!
4) Apologies for the video being a little "bouncy" at points. My secret-agent camera rig isn't entirely complete yet.
At 1:07 into the video (or -0:56 if using the countdown timer), I turn to the side specifically to get footage of the elite security guards doing their rounds.
UK mall bans grandparents for trying to photo their grandkids

I went on a photo-tourism jaunt today.
All the links are up on http://matt.fowler.googlepages.com
I took a bunch of photos which are in this flickr set: http://flickr.com/photos/mattfowler/sets/72157603637833680/
And a video, which is up on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN3OgJNGswE
At no point did mall security approach me, and there are definitely no posted "no photography" signs.

I'm also pretty nearby. I'll be in Fareham town centre on Saturday anyway, so I might see if I can get some sneaky photos of the place.
I'll try to remember to flickr tag them "farehamshoppingcentre" if I get any done.
No friends yet.

Nerd Update: In the Wrestling episode, I recognised one of the wrestlers training at the WCW Power Plant as now being TNA Wrestling's Elix Skipper. I wonder if he still remembers the gangly, unfit BBC journalist being made to exercise until he puked?
