Product Information

Louis also describes how he launches his podcast, Grounded, finally gets to the US to film a new Joe Exotic documentary and aims his sights on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalized by social media. 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. He was born in 1968 in Kampala, Uganda, where his American father was teaching at Makerere University.

She was found abandoned and barely alive at an electricity substation the next day and died a week later. The first series saw Louis up close and personal with some of the UK’s biggest stars: Stormzy; Dame Judi Dench; Yungblud; Bear Grylls; Katherine Ryan; and Rita Ora, with an average audience of more than 2.1m tuning in* (*Consolidated viewing figures for the first four episodes) in the first 7 days.

From here, the standard redemption narrative demands that Doherty be riddled with regret, apologise to one and all, sup on some green tea and commit to a new start. But under Theroux’s stewardship, what emerges is something far more complex and interesting.

Theroux said: “This is a story that has obsessed me for years. How could a serial killer kill multiple victims in 70s London and remain unknown?

Among the murders Marcel’s documentary will look into are: Eve Stratford, 22, a Playboy Bunny, who aspired to be a famous model, was murdered at her home in Leyton, east London, on 18 March 1975. She was found with her throat slashed.

A long, riveting segment looks at Doherty’s involvement in the death of Mark Blanco in 2006, in circumstances that are still disputed. Theroux sits there stony-faced as Doherty says things about what happened that night which, he himself admits, he may later regret. 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...

What evidence was missed? What clues were the police of the time unable to make use of? As witnesses reach the ends of lives and memories fail, this might be the last chance to get justice for the three victims.” Eve Stratford (second from right) pictured with Eric Morecambe (circa 1974) (Photo: (C) Future Studios/ITV) Who is Marcel Theroux?It’s another day at the aquarium in this lovely series, and we are introduced to the sea cucumber that breathes through his bottom, cow nose rays that won’t stop breeding and need a contraceptive and Friday the naughty sea turtle who continues to get into trouble.

Louis travels to New York City to delve into the mind of one of America's most polarizing figures, famous whistleblower and activist Chelsea Manning. In 2010, Manning, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, released the largest set of classified documents in U.S. history and was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for her actions. Branded a traitor by some and a hero by others, Chelsea reveals what drove her to risk everything by making the documents public, whilst sharing details of her life now as a DJ and public speaker. As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is the revelation that one of his old subjects, Jimmy Savile, was a secret sexual predator, prompting him to question our understanding of how evil takes place. Filled with wry observation and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his most insightful and honest best. In 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore's TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he'd always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn't . . .

Net zero by 2025 can be achieved, claims this scathing two-part documentary; the only thing preventing the UK’s part in this is the government – but why? “They are completely and utterly gaslighting us,” says a furious Mary Portas, who has teamed up with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Kevin McCloud to prove that greener is now cheaper, study how other countries are doing it, and put it all to ministers – which involves sending Rishi Sunak a book by Jilly Cooper.
