    Does anyone know if Louis Theroux has a new series of documenataries and on what station? I seen one last week about paedophile's in prison but dont know if it's a one off or if there is more to follow.

    Shame. He's one of the best talents the BBC has got.

    It really was quite bad that he didnt get nominated for an award even at the BAFTA TV awards.

    He's had a couple of series (Weird Weekends and When Louis Met), then had a couple of one offs (Louis and the Nazis, Louis and Michael) was off air for a while but then BBC commisioned him to do 10 docs over the course of 3 years (8 of which have aired) and apparently in february they asked him to do another 10.

    he'd be even more awesome if his first tv job hadn't been for michael moore.

    I wouldn't get too close to a baboon....maybe once or twice in a disco a few years ago when I was drunk, but not anymore....

    Yeah, but to be fair the guys interviewed so far shouldn't be castigated for it. All they're doing is providing a life for the animals that idiot owners thought were a good idea to buy in the first place.

    I hope Louis gets to question the people that breed these animals for the purpose of selling.

    That couple have driven the poor chip mad, he smashed in they're kitchen window and that's normal is it?

    Michael discovered the same thing with Bubbles

    How is that woman not in a prison?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭downwithpeace


    Louis's reaction to the Chimp smashing the window and to the white tiger on the lead was interesting, both funny and frighting at the same time.

    Breeding a sabre tooth tiger, think I've heard it all now.

    They're talking sh!te. A sabre tooth wasn't even a tiger. It was called a smilidon, a completely different genus to a tiger. A tiger is a pantherinae, the same as a lion. A sabre tooth was a machairodontinae, an extinct genus

    The States is nuts, that's why

    I think the funny bit there is that man teaches classes on tigers ;)

    You've just missed him!

    I hate his interviewing technique.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭Mardy Bum


    His interviewing technique is what makes his shows compelling. It allows him to get honest answers and it doesn't make him seem pushy.
