Come round to Louis Theroux’s house where the much-loved TV documentary-maker, podcaster and bestselling author of Gotta Get Theroux This finds himself in unexpected danger . . .

Like millions of others, Louis’ plans were mothballed by the onset of Covid. Unable to escape to the porn sets, prisons and maximum-security psychiatric units that are his usual journalistic beat, he began reporting on a location even more full of pitfalls and hostile objects of inquiry: his own home during a pandemic.

Theroux the Keyhole is an honest, hilarious and ultimately heartwarming diary of the weirdness of family life in Covid World. A wife intolerant of his obsession with Joe Wicks’ daily workouts. Two teenage sons, inseparable from their videogames, for whom he is increasingly 'cringe'. A five-year-old happily spamming out videos on his own new TikTok account while on holiday with his oblivious family.

Louis also describes how he launches his podcast, Grounded, finally gets to the US to film a new Joe Exotic documentary and aims his sights on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalized by social media. Theroux the Keyhole is Louis at his insightful best, as he faces unforeseen new challenges and wonders why it took a pandemic for him to learn that what really matters in life is right in front of him.

    A vile man who preys on the mentally frail or those of limited intelligence. A darling of the bbc with a job for life. No thank you.

    Sounds like you've either never watched his programmes, or are being an obvious contrarian.

    He's an award winning documentary maker who brings attention to subjects not many would approach. He brought the Jimmy Saville allegations to the mainstream in 2000 which helped set the path to revealing the monster Saville was.

    His "innocent middle class act" did start to get overplayed and cringe.

    The 'class' problem is a longstanding british one.

    Having read a couple of his previous books and really enjoyed them, was looking forward to this, especially as his "Grounded" Podcast during lockdown was also really interesting.

    Unfortunately it's not that great, quite repetitive (basically lots of drinking and arguing) and actually quite boring when compared to his other work. Have to be honest and say it feels quite thrown together and cash in like in places.

    Still, price is good so I guess worth a go as most people seem to think it's OK.

    I bounced off this book pretty majorly. Comes across as very self-indulgent throughout and a bit of a bore really. It's a shame as I find him pretty decent most of the time.
