Social Science How do people just sit there and watch Louis Theroux?

[Gough]

I don't mind Ross Kemp (admittedly unsure if he still even makes things?) but Danny Dyer cracks me up. There's no way he's not playing a long version of an English Borat or the like.

+1 as a Danny Dyer fan. Bloke knows how to take the piss out of himself.

A Louis Theroux special on SA's battle with identity might be an OK watch

I like Louis. He got his start in the US in the mid 1990's as young fella working alongside Michael Moore on TV Nation. You can see the seed that would grow into Weird Weekends

Who?

He used a poor lass recently. kicked out of home, history of domestic sexual abuse, continued vulnerability and exploitation, and she was doing videos from her webcam. it wasnt very interesting at all. everyone knows you get that on the internet; everyone knows most of the girls down your local shagpalace didn't go to Iona. all that happened is someone had to disclose deeply personal issues on television and get prodded by a generational multi-millionaire. the it's just a net loss.

Dude can go kick rocks.

Ah OK. Louis Theroux is Dr Phil.

Have you seen his 1:1 interviews with celebs at their houses? I think it may have been during covid.

They were great.

Last thing I've seen of his was the interview with Bear Grylls on his island.

Yeah thats one. There are a few others.

 

[Shell]

His best regular type ones were the ones on dementia and autism.

Especially the latter- showed it really for what it was + made no apologies. Really appreciated the honesty of the parents too (altho it did have me in tears, was heartbreaking)

Not sure if serious.

You think he need a solid dose of crossfit and beef stock shakes I guess.

I saw the Judi Dench one. Of course, to me what stands out in his career now are the Weird Weekends episode with Jimmy Saville (Louis still admired him as an entertainer at this stage even though the rumours were out and about) and then the one that came out after his evil was exposed.

Yeah I cant watch that disgusting creep. Not again anyway.

Judi Dench was great. Seems like a really down to earth, lovely person

Saville cuts deep for the Brits because he conned them all. As an outsider over there I never for a minute suspected him of what he did but at the same time I never quite got why he was so beloved.

I suppose because people grew up with him on the telly, like Australians did with Rolf Harris.

Oh wait.
