They never had a bad word against Eubank and he was very much a ladies man in his youth. 
Eubank has already killed one person through careless driving and permanently disabled another(Nigel Benn) in the boxing ring. He must have stolen thousands of pounds worth of clothes (by his own admission) in his youth. This man is a menace. He shamelessly racks up parking fines and parks his stupid truck wherever he likes, because all he is concerned about is his own ego. |

I think Nick Broomfield did the naivety well with his disarming one-man-band approach, but I don't remember him trying to make fools out of people.
I wasn't a fan of Nick Broomfield in his later docs, he was getting too big headed and smarmy.
However the 2 Aileen Wuornos docs are both compelling and chilling. |

I never found him funny or witty, do enlighten me please, Wyot.
Yes it is a form of bullying I agree.
I meant I used to laugh at the idiotic US apocalyptic racist gun owners etc rather than finding Theroux amusing.
Doesn't reflect well on a younger me, perhaps. |

I like him. But I do know what you mean GM about his manipulation of guests.
He is taking the piss out of them very cleverly and subtly while making them think he is onside.
When I was younger I just found it funny, not so much now. Not sure why.
Isn't the same as a bully? Banter/badinage is one thing but picking on the vulnerable is something different.
Louis, is a very left wing nut job. Will he ever go in hard on the Black Panthers, Muslims, or BLM like he does whites or Christians? He needs to interview both sides and not be soft about it, or is he too chicken?
Clearly a lot of the guests of his shows are on the spectrum and are literal minded. Again he is taking the clear advantage of them.
