Gotta Get Theroux This: My Life and Strange Times in Television

Product Information

It is fascinating to found out what he was thinking about while making the programmes and also to get an understanding of the process. Theroux the Keyhole is the candidly honest and hilarious diary of a man attempting to navigate the perils of work and family life, locked down in Covid World with his wife, two teenagers and a Youtube-addict fiver year-old.

We never really considered ourselves married in the full sense – there were no wedding photos or anything like that. Produced by Simon Chinn—a school friend of Theroux's—and directed by John Dower, the film covers Theroux attempting to gain access to the secretive Church of Scientology.In December 2015, Theroux captained the team representing Magdalen College, Oxford on BBC Four's Christmas University Challenge. His second book, Gotta Get Theroux This, was released in 2020 and is a funny, heartfelt and entertaining account of his life and strange times in TV. The majority of his documentaries are set in the United States, but he has also studied cultures in South Africa, Israel, Nigeria, and the UK. His paternal grandmother, Anne Dittami, was an Italian-American grammar school teacher, while his paternal grandfather, Albert Eugène Theroux, was a French-Canadian salesman [6] [7] for the American Leather Oak company.

In a 2012 masterclass, he spoke of the challenges of combining family life with the need to work on projects. I love the way that he is so real and also incredibly brave considering some of the situation s that he goes into. The connection with Jimmy Saville is, of course, a big part of LT's career and it is very appropriate that he discusses this relationship in depth as the whole affair has clearly made him question his approach.
