Louis Theroux is returning to the BBC later this year to revisit one of his most controversial previous subjects, the Westboro Baptist Church.

The new documentary, titled Louis Theroux: Surviving America's Most Hated Family, comes 13 years after his first programme exploring the subject in 2006.

The Westboro Baptist Church is well-known for its picketing of military funerals and homophobic views.

Theroux will be looking at how the organisation has fared since the death of its founder, Fred Phelps, in 2014.

There will also be insights from former members who abandoned the church.

Ed Smith and Jennifer Gannon discussed this in our weekly TV slot.

They also looked at this year's biggest BBC earners and the upcoming American version of Love Island.
