Dear Louis,

Was I imagining it or did I stand next to you at a Weezer gig at Brixton Academy in about 2002? You were giving it the full-on Weezer W with both hands and wearing a backstage pass wristband. You are also extremely tall, well done.

I was going to ask you to ask him to marry me, but now I have seen that photo I can finally bury that particular obsession and devote myself full-time to David Tennant. I send my thanks to you, and so, I'm certain, does David.

I'd like to know if the sexual chemistry apparent between Louis and Debbie Mcgee in the Paul Daniels 'Wierd Weekends' show was genuine, or was it played up for the cameras? Might they have shared a little snog?

Louis, have you ever wanted to physically assault any of your subjects, even in a minor way? I for one would have given Pastor Phelps a hearty flick on the ear for his naughty views.

Dear Louis,
I loved you in Aeon Flux, but I didn't know about the sex change, congratu-welldone!
Has there ever been an interview or documentary that you've nearly walked away from (or actually walked away from)?
Cheeselets or twiglets?
What's you favorite Song Wars song?



(I remember Zac from the Football Song video...)

Where would you go (and what would you do while you were there) if a TV company offered you an 'Alone In The Shed-esque' lone-man-outlandishly-challenging-himself type survival show?

Recent examples include Mark Beaumont's mountainous North/South America cycle and Eddie Izzard's Sports Relief Marathon Man doc.

Rules stipulate that you must be reduced to tears regularly so please choose something emotionally and physically draining.

i think you should Ask how do you do, what do you do and who do you do, its what Joe would ask!

I'm a fan of his documentaries so id like to know, Does Mr Theroubes have other Beeb specials in the pipeline? are there any bands or artists you'd love to make a documentary about? and what is your favourite smell?

Also i loved your bros documentary on wabisabi!

Mr Louis - Could you stay with 'Thommo' for a very weird weekend (or just an afternoon if that prospect is just too appalling), and gain insights into what made him randomly traumatise a colleague with vigorous biting, and also ask, "Just what the hell is your God-damn malfunction in general anyway soldier?"



PS Fine agitprop street performance last Saturday Mr Buxter. The crowd should have carried you aloft and thrown caps in the air, including the one copper there who had nothing to do but pick his nose. I can practically SMELL the oncoming victory...

Awsom,
ask Louis if he's leaving his 'weird weekends' style behind him and sticking to traditional documentary. the prison and crystal-meth episodes were ok, but I think Louis had something really going for him in making documentary interesting!

Does Louis ever feel typecast as a bizarre documentary specialist. Is there a burning social or moral issue he can't cover because it needs a "Serious" name attached to it?

Conversely how does he feel about celebrity doco's like Lindsay Lohan's documentary on traffiking?

Who would win in a fight: Adam Buxton or Mark Thompson?

Louis Theroux is the only person I love as much as Adam & Joe.

Seriously.

Coincidence?

dear louis..was jimmy saville really as out there as he came across or did you feel an element of playing up to the cameras after being starved of the limelight for so long.and also,who would you most like to make a documentary about but have been unable to convince it would be a good idea....

Well done to you (and everyone else) last Saturday - we had a lovely day out!

Questions:

Do you like going to fancy dress parties and if there was a general theme what would you go as?
What's your tried and tested karaoke song? (and yours Adam?)
What's the best/worst Christmas present Adam ever gave you?

love you byeeee

Louis, is the world getting less weird, or are we all getting weirder, so we don't notice it's weirdness???

Looking forward to the new show Mr B.

Louis, how often are you worried that the people you're interviewing might try to lamp you if you ask them any more probing questions? I get worried for you!

Looking forward to this show muchly, Mr Buxton. I adore Louis, and his little face in that photo.

Louis, I remember reading an interview you did with Elliott Smith for Select magazine in about 2000, around the time the singer was at the height of his fame. He died a couple of years later and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and what you remember about the meeting now. I've tried to locate a copy of the interview for years but with no success. (Sorry this isn't really a question!)

get louis to do his rap

I'M TOO LATE! GODDAMN IT! I LOVE LOUIS THEROUX!

Maybe you could call him and ask him some more questions - they can go in the podcast, yeah?

What an amazing journalistic family! Is his dad as naughty as he comes across in his books? Are he and his brother competitive? Do they argue over who is best broadcaster? Who is the favourite son? Is the more serious tone of the current series a permanent move (don't get me wrong, it's all brills)? When is our final installment due?

PS. Jolly good show last saturday Adam! I only got to see half of the side of your face for about a second (damn you for being short!), but it was worth braving the rain for.

"Louis, do you prefer Modernist or Post-Modern literature?

My friend thinks you enjoy Baudrillard, but I think you'd enjoy an evening with 'Mrs. Dalloway' Who is correct?"

Yours, Lord Alfred Couts

I've just listened to the show and please, oh please, could you put up that Peter Gabriel style version of "Walking On Sunshine" for download somewhere?

Massive fan of all of Louis' work... a hundred thousand questions I could ask but I have to side with josh92... Louis? Tell us about the cheese?

Louis, have you kept in touch with any of your weird weekend subjects?

Jedward?

shaun, if you're still around and still looking for it, there are scans of the interview in this thread at the Sweet Addy messageboard:
