Delivering the keynote MacTaggart lecture, Louis Theroux warned 'play it safe' broadcasters against shying away from controversial documentaries.
“Often the criticisms come from its own former employees, writing for privately owned newspapers whose proprietors would be all too happy to see their competition eliminated. And so there is an urge to lay low, to play it safe, to avoid the difficult subjects.”
Despite his award-winning status, Theroux said there were no takers for recent programmes he had pitched. “I thought he might be boring, that he was irrelevant and over the hill. It felt a little embarrassing making a programme about someone so past-it. There was some nervousness at the channel along similar lines.”, “I wanted to do justice to the scale of the harm he had caused.”
