Louis Theroux’s back – our favourite 27 things people said about his new BBC2 show
Louis Theroux was back on BBC2 on Sunday night with the first of a new series in which he examined something called ‘polyamory’ – basically, open relationships in which people take pleasure in seeing their significant other(s) being happy in whatever way it takes.
That way, it turns out, mostly involves having relationships with other men or women.
Here’s what Louis Theroux tweeted about it (it wasn’t all like this, honest).

Just watched that #LouisTheroux thing. Can't be long till Jerry snaps. He'll wake up in the wee small hours one night, and he'll just wipe them out. His house first, then a drive over to the other house. He'll just wipe them out. And all the while with that smile.

Tonight’s Louis Theroux was weird – up their with his 90’s docs. Finally, We’re back to the Louis Theroux we all know and love. Him, being incredibly awkward, surrounded by absolute not rights. #LouisTheroux
