Reception

The programme was widely praised for its approach to the subject of paedophilia.[4][2] Leicester Mercury called the programme "a brilliantly-made, well-observed documentary. Fascinating, not sensationalist or sympathetic."[5]

In 2010, Theroux received a Royal Television Society's award in the best presenter category for the documentary.[6][7]
