Gotta Get Theroux This

My Life and Strange Times in Television

by Louis Theroux

Gotta Get Theroux This: Join Louis Theroux on a Hilarious and Honest Journey Through His Life and Weird Times in TV

In this funny, heartfelt and entertaining memoir, much-loved documentary maker Louis Theroux takes the reader on a joyous journey from his anxiety-prone childhood to his unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC's offer of his own series, he went on to create an award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in the weird worlds of paranoid US militias, secretive pro-wrestlers, and even the powerful Church of Scientology.

As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on 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, self-deprecating humour, and candid insights, Gotta Get Theroux This showcases Louis at his most honest and insightful best.
