Louis Theroux

Travelling the length and breadth of the United States, Louis will meet an assortment of content creators who promote far-right views, self-destructive performers - and in some cases alleged predators - whose work involves them promoting and enacting the most risqué, immoral and illegal behaviour.

Louis Theroux interviews some of the biggest names in UK entertainment and is granted exclusive access into their lives, both at work and at home.

A Four-part series looking back at a body of work spanning 25 years, and over 60 hours of some of the most distinctive and celebrated documentaries on British television. Award-winning film-maker Louis Theroux has become synonymous with documentaries involving subcultures, people on the fringes of society, those who engage in life-endangering lifestyle choices, and subjects who live with mental health issues. The series will feature interviews with Louis, as well as new conversations and catch-ups between him and some of his most notable contributors - many of whose stories have since unfolded in unexpected ways. Louis has also plundered his own home movie footage and news archive to tell stories about human psychology, the myriad of ways in which people behave or deal with adversity, and how the world has changed over the last three decades.

Louis Theroux's Altered States exploring the unusual ways modern America deals with birth, love and death. Changing social attitudes and radical new laws have transformed how Americans can experience some of life's most intimate moments - how we raise children, how we love and even how we die.

A series of three documentary films that put Los Angeles under the microscope.

When Louis Met... is a series of documentary films made by Bafta award-winning film-maker Louis Theroux. In the series, Theroux accompanies a different British celebrity in each programme as they go about their day-to-day business, interviewing them about their lives and experiences as he does so. His episode about the DJ and charity fund-raiser Sir Jimmy Savile (When Louis Met...Jimmy) was voted one of the top fifty documentaries of all time in a survey by Britain's Channel Four. In another episode ("When Louis Met...The Hamiltons"), the disgraced Tory MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine were arrested following false allegations of indecent assault during the course of filming.

Louis Theroux gives viewers the chance to get brief glimpses of things they wouldn't normally come into contact with. In most cases this means interviewing people with extreme beliefs of some kind, or diving into obscure or marginalized subcultures
