I suppose the biggest flaw from this book may actually be the time I chose to read it, or maybe the blame is on the publishers for when they put it out. This will be a really interesting perspective for people in future to read into the difficulties that came with adapting to a new world but I think it just revealed I’ve still got a lot to get over.

Theroux’s documentary presented a different angle on the group, taking viewers inside the inner workings of the family over the course of the first documentary and its two follow-up episodes. Attracting 19% of 1 April 2007’s viewership, the documentary was re-broadcast three days later and only gained more traction in the coming years. Watching the three documentaries myself, I found myself invested in this insane and disturbing group. Following some of the younger family members as they managed to escape and defect,Theroux’s work is gripping, grounded and unique. In the words of my ‘Theroux enthusiast’ pal, “the one about the church” is one of the best. Although, you think ‘well, why is that a secret?’ But what I found was that the family found me quite irritating, and found me doing them annoying. I don’t know why the vision of a 51-year-old man in tight underpants sweating onto the carpet, and grunting, would not be something you’d want to see in your front room. ‘I don’t know why the vision of a 51-year-old man in tight underpants sweating onto the carpet, and grunting, would not be something you’d want to see in your front room.’Come round to Louis Theroux’s house where the much-loved TV documentary-maker, podcaster and bestselling author of Gotta Get Theroux This finds himself in unexpected danger . . . thoughtful and witty comments from louis on his personal and work life, as well as the silly goofy louis we know and love🤪

Maybe, you know, spending a couple of hours making a vegetarian lasagne – what could be wrong with that? So I’ve got my little prompt: here is some garlic, it could have been an onion, it could have been anything. It could have been a recipe book. #4 - Workouts What I’d love my obituary to say is: “The world of television is in mourning as news comes that esteemed documentary maker Louis Theroux died in the arms of his wife Nancy Strang on holiday in Crete while eating a slap-up meal of Korean delicacies including snails, fava and copious amounts of retsina.” What it will probably say is: “Forgotten BBC2 journalist, Louis Theroux, the man who failed to get to the truth about Jimmy Savile, died while crossing the road.” There was a weird bittersweetness in revisiting the events of the past few years and Louis speaks at length about his frustration throughout the whole ordeal and we see how communication breakdowns and unhealthy habits are facilitated by a removal of what we both know to be his purpose in life, to date. Adjusting to life certainly looked very different for Louis and whilst I don’t think his reflections on this period came off as gloating they could definitely sound a bit insensitive at times to people who worked in PPE day to day and weren’t able to have as many enjoyable moments. going to dive straight into this read!! it was brill. I loved louis theroux’s reflective tone, splashed with humour and revelations that were completely therapeutic to me😌The pandemic has been a moment to pause and reset. I’ve had a sense of resetting my place in the world, with respect to my family and my work. I’ve been at home much more than normal, and for all the stress and the arguments and everyone getting very frayed at the edges, it’s felt like a blessing.

Theroux the Keyhole is Louis at his insightful best, as he faces unforeseen new challenges and wonders why it took a pandemic for him to learn that what really matters in life is right in front of him. For me, what is so unique about Louis Theroux’s body of work is its multi-faceted nature. As part of our PSE curriculum, I watched part of The Most Hated Family in Americain school. I chose to finish watching the documentary at the end of the school day, something I had never done for similar documentaries from school before. Released in 2007, The Most Hated Family in Americafollows the family behind the Westboro Baptist Church, a fundamental Baptist community in the US which broadcasts and promotes hate speech against minority groups.
