	Theroux, Alexander (Louis) Criticism and Essays
		Theroux is known for his ornately stylized prose and elaborate word plays.
		Though his themes are serious, Theroux's presentation is in a comic, sometimes satiric, vein.
		As the force of this novel lies in its style rather than in its content, some critics have accused Theroux of losing contact with his characters in cascades of verbalism, repetition, and obscure turns of phrase.

	The Skinny - Louis Theroux - Call of the Weird
		Louis Theroux is best known for that scene with Christine Hamilton where she’s hammered and tries ungracefully to flirt with him, but he is also famous for travelling America in his BBC TV series Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, interviewing people on the fringes of US society.
		In his first book Mr Theroux follows up on many of the strange people he interviewed for his TV programme but this time his aim is to discover what makes them tick.
		Theroux’s journey takes him to the American West on the trail of Thor Templar, the Lord Commander of the Earth Protectorate; to Jackson on the trail of Mello T, a gangster rapper; and to California to catch up with Prussian Blue, a band consisting of twin 12-year-old girls who specialise in White Power music.

	BBC News \| REVIEWS \| Louis Theroux: Your views
		Louis' style is fantastic; the deadpan, innocent questions disarm the most cynical, and make for genuinely funny TV - I think the treatment of the Hamiltons by the press is shameful; watching Mrs H crying in the back of the car it was impossible not to feel sympathetic for her (but not her husband!)
		Louis clearly did not believe the hype and decided to find out for himself, as he has on every other occasion, in pursuit of gaining an understanding of why people are perceived as they are.
		Well, aside from the fact that Louis Theroux is a disarmingly quirky and undoubtedly brilliant journalist, the Hamiltons really appeared to be two normal (if cringeworthy) 50-somethings franctically trying to recoup some of their massive losses but seeming out of their depth.

		Louis seemed to have an effection for the subjects (except the strange Ike Turner!) no matter how weird or out there their views were.
		The call of the weird is essentially a documentation of what happens when Louis embarks on a ‘reunion tour’ – 6 months of traveling around the US, catching-up with characters he interviewed for the ‘weird Weekend series, to see how their lives have changed post 9/11.
		Theroux himself seems to realise this and admits to becoming impatient with his subjects, and the overall tone of the book is downbeat.

		Theroux's weird Americans were UFO enthusiasts, porn stars, Aryan Nation white supremacists, brothel prostitutes, gangsta rappers, become-a-millionaire scammers, Heaven's Gate survivors and, strangely, Ike Turner.
		For ten years, Louis Theroux has been making programs about off-beat characters on the fringes of US society.
		Along the way, Louis thinks about what drives him to spend so much time among weird people, and considers whether hes learned anything about himself in the course of ten years working with them.

		Theroux joined the BBC in 1995 and embarked on a television journey which would see him travel to the corners of America in search of quirky characters.
		Unfortunately for Theroux, the coach felt he had not been given his due respect and would not let the flagging presenter off the hook until he had vomited three times.
		Although Sir Jimmy seemed to be the butt of many of Theroux's jokes, the pair have remained in contact, and apparently the fundraiser was pleased with the final programme.

		History - Louis Theroux is the son of Paul Theroux the popular travel writer, and because his father is an American Louis holds a dual UK/US passports.
		Even though Theroux retained his US citizenship it was carefully hidden from his documentary subjects, his upbringing was in England and his education at Westminster School no doubt helped home a perfect English accent.
		Louis returns to America to find out what has happened in the lives of people he featured in his 'Weird Weekends' TV series.

		The pressures of being a Theroux seem to tell on Marcel: 'We're not the sort of family that hides its dirty laundry Sometimes, I think it might be nice to disappear and reappear as someone else, without the baggage'
		"When we were growing up, Louis was the rebellious clown and I was the one who always obeyed the rules," he says, as if this alone explains why, at the age of 34, he is dutifully crunching his way through a plate of haricots verts he doesn't want.
		He admits to intermittent pangs of envy at Louis's success, yet when I teasingly inquire whether Louis is, indeed, the idiot savant he appears on screen, he leaps to his defence.

	Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends
		Louis theroux's calm, humble and ordinary approach to documentary making has captured him a cult following over the past few years on BBC2.
		He has more recently moved onto the "when Louis met..." series of interviews where he immerses himself in his subjects lifestyle and gives us a much truer picture of them than we have ever seen before.
		The success of his documentaries has proven that the public cannot get enough of the darker (and sometimes plain oddball) side of life and the unique way in which Louis Theroux brings this to the screen.

	Louis Theroux - Best Of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Summary: Never afraid to ask the silly question, in the Best Of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends Louis gambles on a mix of warmth and charm to gain access and insight into the people he meets.
		From the bizarre to the ridiculous to the downright scary, the show has brought Louis and his viewers face to face with some fairly eccentric personalities and ideas over the years.
		From the frighteningly deluded to the mildly eccentric, Louis always finds some way to connect with the people he meets and as a result the series continues to rise above any desire to become overly voyeuristic, to patronise or to judge.

		A professional voyeur, Louis Theroux films such contemporary oddities as Paul Daniels and Keith Chegwin.
		He comes from a sophisticated background: his father is the American travel writer Paul Theroux, his English mother worked for the BBC World Service, he went to Westminster (favoured public school of London's well-heeled intelligentsia) and got a first from Oxford.
		When your office rang and said, 'Would you like to interview Louis Theroux?' I said 'No.' And then, over the next few days, every woman I met said, 'Oh, Louis Theroux, he's fantastic', so I changed my mind.

	Mike reviews: Louis Theroux's Call of the Weird - Moorcock's Miscellany
		Theroux wonders about why he wants to develop relationships with sex workers, the survivors of the Heaven's Gate cult or the woman who trained her pretty little blonde twins to sing viciously racist songs and pose sexily in support of the neo-Nazi cause.
		Theroux's TV documentaries reveal a fine journalist whose unassuming objectivity and curiosity are almost innocent, whose strengths frequently lie in his very lack of empathy for people with whom he attempts to strike a rapport and yet with whom he has a subtle affinity.
		Like them, he harbours very few preconceptions and is prepared to take people on their own terms, musing that microcosms often have as much validity and as many hypocrites and heroes as the larger world.

		With his own "twenty-seven year-old, sexually active" soul up for grabs, Louis heads into the heart of God's country, "the diamond in the buckle of the bible belt," to see if a television journalist could be number three million and one.
		That night, Louis tours a Dallas "red light" district with The Family, a commune of hard-core Christians who sing on the street, hand-out pamphlets, and pray with strangers.
		On Sunday, Louis reunites with Marcus, Joni, and their enlightened secretary, Anne Lee, for a real religious revival, where one ecstatic convert exclaims, "I used to be homosexual, I used to smoke pot, I used to live at gay bars!" Can Louis be saved?

		Indeed, Uri was justified not to give Louis the opportunity, given his role in supporting Michael Jackson.
		Uri had said that it was Louis whom he did not trust and i felt that it was at this point that Uri was being a bit of a dick.
		Whilst I find Louis most aesthetically pleasing and charming, I can't help thinking he should try something a bit different - Charlie Brooker was right about the continuous eyebrow raising, and it is odd that his show never seems to have changed its format.

		In this documentary series, English-raised Louis Theroux (son of novelist Paul) samples the strangest fruits of freedom, from pitching infomercials to breaking bread with right-wing survivalists.
		This sort of participational filmmaking can become cute or self-satisfied, but Theroux maintains a curious, never smug attitude, even toward the most bizarre colonists.
