Nation's Favourites: Louis Theroux. Plus the Thursday Theme.

Jo chats to Louis Theroux in her new series of Nation’s Favourites, interviews with some of the nation's biggest talents.
Plus the Thursday Theme - songs about Downton Abbey.

Jo chats to Louis Theroux in her new series of Nation’s Favourites, which sees her interview some of the nation's biggest talents across British culture, film and TV.

Award-winning film-maker Louis Theroux has become synonymous with documentaries involving subcultures, people on the fringes of society, those who engage in life-endangering lifestyle choices, and subjects who live with mental health issues.

Louis’s new series, Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge, will feature interviews with Louis, as well as new conversations and catch-ups between him and some of his most notable contributors - many of whose stories have since unfolded in unexpected ways. Louis has also plundered his own home movie footage and news archive to tell stories about human psychology, the myriad of ways in which people behave or deal with adversity, and how the world has changed over the last three decades.

Plus this week’s Thursday Theme is Downton Abbey, to mark 10 years since the show began. Send all your Downton Abbey-related song suggestions to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk
