Summary

And saves room for a crumble! Louis Theroux is a BAFTA-winning documentarian, journalist, broadcaster and author, and not someone to let a pre-show lunch get in the way of a Dish feast. Over paloma cocktails, Nick and Angela enjoy an hour in the company of the legendary interviewer, who started making documentaries for the BBC in 1998. He joins us to talk about his new Netflix film, Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere, where he journeys into the controversial world of websites, shows and influencers promoting ultra-masculinity and misogyny. Despite arriving on a full stomach, there was no spoiling Louis’ meal. Angela served five spice & lemongrass short ribs, paired by the Waitrose wine experts with a glass of Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz. There’s dessert, too, in the shape of a rhubarb & pear crumble, a Chetna Makan recipe, which makes the most of seasonal ingredients. Any pre-show nerves about interviewing Louis were quickly dispelled with one sip of paloma. We get to hear all about Louis’ own cooking and baking skills, how he deals with fans who show their love in extraordinary ways, and the challenges of taking your children to a Michelin star restaurant. Plus, find out which of our Fast Food Quiz questions gets the much-coveted Louis Theroux seal of approval. You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.

1:13.6	Yes, exactly. I don't know. I just think he is interviewer aside. It's very intelligent. But I feel like he's someone that's very present. And I think that's the key to his good questioning. Yeah, he's there. You can see everything's going through his head. He's listening. He engages properly. In the program we've watched it, he's here to talk about. You saw him just respond to everything and get in a lot of trouble, but he pulled people up on stuff, which I think is what he does. Yeah, and he listens. Yeah, very much. Be honest, before Louis Thru comes in, have you ever been sat here listening to a guest and been thinking, I've got to go shopping after this and take the dogs out? I haven't, actually. Oh, okay, no, me neither. Liar. But there are also at times when you are doing stuff and you're like thinking there. and then things pop into your head and you're like, shit, I forgot about that.
