Description
From much-loved documentary maker Louis Theroux comes a funny, heartfelt and entertaining account of his life and weird times in TV.
The audio edition is read by the author and contains an exclusive additional chapter.
The Sunday Times Bestseller.
In 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore’s TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he’d always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn’t . . .
In Gotta Get Theroux This, Louis 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 and secretive pro-wrestlers, get under the skin of celebrities like Max Clifford and Chris Eubank and tackle gang culture in San Quentin prison, all the time wondering whether the same qualities that make him good at documentaries might also make him bad at life.
As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is 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 and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his most insightful and honest best.

Really great!
A brilliant read, and even better that it is voiced by the man himself. His use of accents bring the piece to life and is a really interesting venture into his work and life surrounding it.

Enjoyable - especially the narration
An entertaining and easy holiday listen, with plenty to ponder and amuse. I appreciated getting to know Louis a little better, and his openness. Makes me want to binge watch all his work...

To be honest more interesting than I expected
Full disclosure, Im a fan of Louis! After seeing him speak by chance in Melbourne I bought this book. I didn’t expect the depth of analysis of self which was not in the least indulgent. The examination of Saville and his crimes I felt was important and personal - and allowed space to think about the unthinkable - it has to happen in some way in order to support victims and stop it happening to more people.

Really enjoyable
The narration is mesmerising in parts. Louis' voice is consistently enjoyable but laugh out loud when he does the accents of people featured in his book. Found it all interesting and it's impressive to appreciate the scope of his documentaries. I never fully appreciated his style of interviewing but there were some docs that were so good. I liked Louis' reflection on the Saville years and felt for him being blindsided but also having a sense of unease. Nancy hits the nail on the head regarding his strengths and flaws. The epilogue is really touching and his charm and reflections are worth listening to. Enjoying the podcasts too.

Therouxly Marvellous
Brilliant overview of his childhood, upbringing, relationships, insecurities and of course key parts of hia career. I love Louis and I loved this book. Glad that he only went 80% on the Saville impression. Never go full Saville.
