Louis Theroux has proved that not all heroes wear capes as he reminded us all that there are hours upon hours of his old documentaries on BBC iPlayer to keep us entertained while we self isolate.

The legendary filmmaker made it known that we can binge the likes of his Weird Weekends, LA Stories, and The Most Hated Family In America amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Bliss, right?

‘There are fifty-odd hours of my old shows on BBC iPlayer, on the off chance you are self isolating and bored,’ Louis tweeted.


Obviously fans were delighted by Louis’ reminder and made their feelings known, with one writing: ‘Count me in, happy to watch each one a hundred times. Keep up the great work and stay well.’



Meanwhile, another posted: ‘I don’t need self isolation as an excuse for this Louis.’ Us neither, tbqh.

Time to get your Louis binge on (Picture

Oh and if that wasn’t enough Louis for you, he also recently starred on the Great British Bake Off’s celebrity special where he made history by getting three handshakes.

The first challenge – the signature bake – saw the team take on the challenge of creating a giant cookie.

Louis opted to make his pizza inspired, with the chocolate chip cookie base topped with a raspberry icing, grated white chocolate and chocolate ‘olive’ drops.

He was pretty smug about the way it came out, and he had every right to be – landing a Paul Hollywood handshake, a Prue Leith palm and a Noel Fielding… also handshake.

‘I got three handshakes! That’s never happened before on Bake Off,’ Louis beamed, being joined only by Jenny Éclair, who got one handshake.

Incredible scenes.
