When Louis Met... Max Clifford2002

[In his local supermarket, Max has gone off to talk to Guardian journalist Simon Hattenstone, who had previously asked to interview Louis but was told they'd do it after he was filming. Max is telling Hattenstone about how he's been keeping Louis in the dark, but his microphone is still switched on]

Louis Theroux:
[voiceover] I felt neither Max nor Simon Hattenstone were being totally honest with me, and I decided to confront them about what was going on. [to Max] I just wish you'd level with me and tell me what really happened. [to Simon] Obviously, I know you're here because I'm here. [turns back to Max] So, you shouldn't have to lie about that.

Max Clifford:
Nobody's lying to you, Louis. You mustn't get paranoid about these things, you just relax. This young man is doing a piece on me, and has been. He was aware I was coming down here.

[Louis starts questioning Simon Hattenstone]

Max Clifford:
Well, you talk to each other. This is silly - No, if you're gonna be silly about it then you can all f*** off.

[he walks off with his shopping trolley]

Louis Theroux:
[to Simon Hattenstone] We just overheard you on the mic saying "Do you think we should level with Louis" and Max said "No, don't tell him the truth".

[Max comes back and starts removing the microphone attached to his clothes]

Max Clifford:
Tell what we'll do, we'll call it day. Just let me concentrate on my shopping and doing what I do. If everyone's gonna be silly about this, then... [his voice is muffled]

Louis Theroux:
To be fair, Max, we've never lied to you.

[Max hands back his microphone set]

Max Clifford:
That's it, finished. Thanks very much.

[he walks off]

Louis Theroux:
[voiceover] I'd felt all along Max had been stage managing our encounter, creating his own version of reality for our cameras. And what angered him was, for once, I'd got a glimpse behind the scenes. The curious thing was that even caught out, he wouldn't come clean. And I wasn't sure he ever would.
