Allen embarrassed himself by losing every argument with the Phelps. The glaring row came from him shouting down to them after they would not rise to his style of questioning and his inability to hold an intellectual conversation with them. The Phelps are extreme in their beliefs, but I'd rather spend a day in their company than that idiot Allen. The guy on BBC2 - Theroiux, produced a more insightful documentary.
lofty agree completely with ye, allen comes across as arrogant and someone who beleives he "has made it" and is famous so he can go round saying anything he so feels. I remember reading the metro saying his documentary about the family in the states who hated all gays and the US army are all fag lovers and deserve to die. He made no argument about anything, there was no structure to the programme, he was just trying to rile them and shout them down at every opportunity. He is very inept in his ability to construct a meaningful and worthwhile discussion.
