BBC Specials
In these first special programmes (2003), Theroux returned to American themes, working at feature-length, this time with a more neutral and serious tone in comparison to his earlier "Weird Weekends" work. For example, "Louis and the Brothel", takes a sympathetic look at the prostitutes working at a legal brothel in Nevada where as "Under the Knife" takes a more critical look at the world of plastic surgery. Other programmes cover a wide variety of topics including Law and Disorder and "Louis and the Nazis".

In When Louis Met… (2000–2002), Theroux accompanied a different British celebrity in each programme as they went about their day-to-day business.

In Weird Weekends (1998–2000), Theroux followed marginal, mostly American subcultures like survivalists, Black nationalists, White supremacists and porn stars, often by living among or close to the people involved. Often, his documentary method subtly exposed the contradictions or farcical elements of some seriously-held beliefs.

His first book, The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures, was published in Britain in 2005. In this book, Theroux returns to America to find out what has happened in the lives of some of the people he featured in his television programmes since he last saw them.
