Some of the earlier series are being shown on Dave. Forgot how good he is at getting the best from his subjects. A fantastic documentary maker and a dead ringer for JK. Scary!!

I have that series on DVD. He is very good.

The edition where he met Jimmy Saville was one of my favourites.

Yes - I'm a Theroux fan (not least because he liked my friends Saville and Hamiltons and hated Clifford) but his American prison show was his pinnacle so far.

Did Sir Jimmy not describe you to Mr Theroux as" a cactus ,all prickly on the outside but soft and sweet in the middle?"

I laughed my head off! Neither statement is true from him, and I met him on several occasions and quite like him.

Well you can have this one for free my friend , cactus ...no!..soft and sweet on the inside...no idea.....!


"Cushion" is the word to describe you as a personality.
(right praise over, that`s all you get mate!!!)

I agree, the prison programme was excellent.

Theroux's shows have mostly been very entertaining... just a small handful I didn't like either because I disliked the subject matter or felt that Louis didn't do it so well. Never seen the Max Clifford one because the sight of Clifford angers me but am pleased that Theroux didn't like him.

The Savile and Hamilton shows are for me, two of the very best and most fascinating documentary films I've ever seen and I have enjoyed them several times over the years. The Hamilton one particularly was fascinating showing how the media react from the centre of it all.

Though I doubt it would ever happen, I'm sure many of us here would love to see a Louis Theroux meets JK film!

I`m sure that can be arranged Elliot.

Louis Theroux meets JK- oh that has wonderful potential!

Sadly it would have to be JK Meets Louis Theroux.

I was there first, after all, and his Dad did guest on my radio show.
