Theroux said: “This is a story that has obsessed me for years. How could a serial killer kill multiple victims in 70s London and remain unknown? Among the murders Marcel’s documentary will look into are: Eve Stratford, 22, a Playboy Bunny, who aspired to be a famous model, was murdered at her home in Leyton, east London, on 18 March 1975. She was found with her throat slashed.

Louis travels to New York City to delve into the mind of one of America's most polarizing figures, famous whistleblower and activist Chelsea Manning. In 2010, Manning, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, released the largest set of classified documents in U.S. history and was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for her actions. Branded a traitor by some and a hero by others, Chelsea reveals what drove her to risk everything by making the documents public, whilst sharing details of her life now as a DJ and public speaker. There’s journalistic rigour to Theroux’s shadow play, too. A long, riveting segment looks at Doherty’s involvement in the death of Mark Blanco in 2006, in circumstances that are still disputed. Theroux sits there stony-faced as Doherty says things about what happened that night which, he himself admits, he may later regret.

He was born in 1968 in Kampala, Uganda, where his American father was teaching at Makerere University. Marcel Theroux, a British-American, is the elder son of the American travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux and his then-wife Anne Castle. His younger brother is the journalist and television presenter Louis Theroux.Net zero by 2025 can be achieved, claims this scathing two-part documentary; the only thing preventing the UK’s part in this is the government – but why? “They are completely and utterly gaslighting us,” says a furious Mary Portas, who has teamed up with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Kevin McCloud to prove that greener is now cheaper, study how other countries are doing it, and put it all to ministers – which involves sending Rishi Sunak a book by Jilly Cooper. Hollie Richardson Secrets of the Aquarium 8pm, BBC Two From much-loved documentary maker Louis Theroux comes a funny, heartfelt and entertaining account of his life and weird times in TV. LOUIS THEROUX IS A GENRE-DEFINING DOCUMENTARY PRESENTER BEST KNOWN FOR PRODUCING IMMERSIVE DOCUMENTARIES THAT EXPLORE THE CONTROVERSIAL AND COMPLEX ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION.

What evidence was missed? What clues were the police of the time unable to make use of? As witnesses reach the ends of lives and memories fail, this might be the last chance to get justice for the three victims.” Eve Stratford (second from right) pictured with Eric Morecambe (circa 1974) (Photo: (C) Future Studios/ITV) Who is Marcel Theroux? Filmed across a number of locations, from New York City to Normandy, Glastonbury to the French Riviera, the upcoming series will bring viewers closer than ever to some of the world’s most well-known personalities and Louis’s most diverse range of guests yet:

It’s another day at the aquarium in this lovely series, and we are introduced to the sea cucumber that breathes through his bottom, cow nose rays that won’t stop breeding and need a contraceptive and Friday the naughty sea turtle who continues to get into trouble. HR The Great British Bake Off 8pm, Channel 4 She was found abandoned and barely alive at an electricity substation the next day and died a week later. The first series saw Louis up close and personal with some of the UK’s biggest stars: Stormzy; Dame Judi Dench; Yungblud; Bear Grylls; Katherine Ryan; and Rita Ora, with an average audience of more than 2.1m tuning in* (*Consolidated viewing figures for the first four episodes) in the first 7 days. From here, the standard redemption narrative demands that Doherty be riddled with regret, apologise to one and all, sup on some green tea and commit to a new start. But under Theroux’s stewardship, what emerges is something far more complex and interesting.

BBC Factual announces six names that meet multi award-winning journalist and broadcaster Louis Theroux for the second series ofLouis Theroux Interviews, including cultural icons and industry trailblazers from across the worlds of sport, entertainment and global affairs. Over the years, Louis has kept true to a way of working that is uniquely his own: by charming his subjects, he’s able to offer rounded portraits of the people involved in complex social issues and human dilemmas, while always resisting easy judgements. As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is the revelation that one of his old subjects, Jimmy Savile, was a secret sexual predator, prompting him to question our understanding of how evil takes place. Filled with wry observation and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his most insightful and honest best. Louis has won numerous awards, including three BAFTAs, an RTS award, and Grierson’s Trustees’ Award, andin 2019, he set up his own independent television production company, Mindhouse, alongside Arron Fellows and Nancy Strang. The final part of this documentary on the nation-defining frontier conflicts delves into the difficult history of the Native Police, who from 1837 killed approximately 72,000 Indigenous Australians on behalf of the white settlers. Then, in an emotional sequence in Arrernte lands, film-maker Rachel Perkins brings her own family story full circle.
