I want a Louis Theroux t-shirt!

Just love this man. He is wonderfully funny and sarcastic in his technique, yet a genuinely caring guy. I definitely want a t-shirt with his face on (sorry Ruby 🫣) now I know such a garment exists!! After listening to this podcast over this past week I am now rewatching every documentary he has done on BBC iplayer :)
