What a legend!
With his recent Dark States trilogy earning rave reviews, Louis Theroux fans have plenty to cheer about and the news gets even better because the beloved documentarian is back on our screen this Sunday with
Louis Theroux: Talking To Anorexia.
Aside from his brilliant features, Theroux is happy to provide more information about his work and he does so via Twitter. To be honest, his most recent Q&A provided an extremely
interesting insight into how he works and during that online interview, Theroux revealed that he's more than happy to make some more 'lighthearted' documentaries - just like he did with Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends.
"I've definitely evolved, and we as a production have evolved from doing the lighter stories. I'm still up for having fun in a programme. I enjoy those shows, the UFO one still makes me laugh! At the same time, when we start going the road of doing one of those lighter shows now, usually not always, we abandon it because it feels like we ask ourselves 'Is there enough there?' Can we get our teeth into this? Is there 60 minutes of revelation that we can achieve?," he said.
Well, it's clear that Theroux hasn't lost his light touch because he's having a bit of fun with a Twitter account that's taking the mickey out of those famous intro lines that he says at the start of every documentary that he makes.

You get the drift. Well, after Theroux was made aware of this account, he decided to have some fun with his 1.74m followers by saying that if this tweet got enough RTs, he'd record a version of it.

There are times when you really have to love the Internet. Well done people, well done.
We're eagerly awaiting this version and if Louis ever gets short of ideas for his documentaries, we suggest a reenactment of
tweets.
