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

Like millions of others, Louis Theroux’s plans were mothballed by the onset of COVID. Unable to escape to the porn sets and the prisons and the maximum-security mental hospitals that are his usual journalistic feeding ground, the garlanded documentary maker 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 who also suspects he takes on the cooking less as a way of being helpful and more to avoid child-care. Two teen-aged sons, inseparable from their videogames. 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, flies to the US to film a new Tiger King documentary and aims his sights on the latest incarnation of the far right in a world becoming radicalised by social media.
