We get Louis Theroux’s take on #NoContextLouisTheroux

Take a moment from a Louis Theroux documentary and, without any context, post it on the internet.

In a nutshell, that’s the idea behind the online trend #NoContextLouisTheroux.

No-one said it was ground-breaking, but it’s funny, and accounts dedicated to it have hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram.

For his latest show, Life on the Edge, Louis is looking back over his 25-year career.

What better opportunity, then, to get his take on the moments that - out of context - are living a second life on social media.
