Before he met the likes of Jimmy Saville, Paul Daniels and Max Clifford, Louis Theroux specialised in meeting, interviewing and often living with what you could politely call "controversial" groups. Over the course of three BBC series he hangs out with porn stars, wrestlers, hardline Christians, UFO watchers and more, somehow gaining the sort of access and revelations that a more 'serious' journalist couldn't (or perhaps wouldn't) get.
This is brilliant stuff: funny, troubling and regularly moving, and a good primer for Theroux's upcoming documentary film, My Scientology Movie.
