Joan Collins and Louis Theroux interview

Callistemon21

I've never watched him, did he have a famous father?

Louis Theroux's father is the novelist Paul Theroux, and his cousin is actor Justin Theroux (apparently they were quite close as children).

But this programme is about her not him.

Well, it is about her life, and her connections.

The question remain, why was she the host of a Russian Oligarch at bunga bunga parties in Italy? And as said, it would be very interesting for her to describe what was going on with other guests, in her company.

Joan Collins never had a look that I wanted but I’ve always admired her style and zest for life.
Louis Theroux is an excellent interviewer. Luckygirl, what do you believe he could have done about Saville. His predatory behaviour was an open secret by then, one which no one was willing or able to ‘do anything’ about

The question remain, why was she the host of a Russian Oligarch at bunga bunga parties in Italy?

😂 oh Jesus,
Only on GN would anyone care.
I’m genuinely shocked that some people have nothing better to worry about.

But back to the subject.
I love Joan Collins & will watch this on catch up.

So yesterday she was there now today she was the host of a Russian Oligarch

Marcel Theroux, who is Louis' brother (I think) has just had a documentary on TV - The Bunny Girl Murders. His voice is very similar.

I couldn't recommend the documentary and feel like I wasted two hours of my life watching it. Not because of Marcel Theroux, but because of the way it panned out.

And - she's British born and bred!!

No, it's probably because of the reason I stated above 😂😂😂

Pardon?

Honestly you lot are quite something. What if she was the host of Mafia bosses, or Drug barons? The Russian Oligarch question, and the links and influence to the UK is a very interesting one. Not to you- fair enough.

Link? Meaning? Relevance?

NONE.

Do you mean ‘what if she was the guest of a Russian Oligarch’ (and Mafia Bosses or Drug Barons) *FP? I wasn’t aware she might be hosting these people - and I couldn’t care less either way. You have a vivid imagination.

The constant feed of Britain and British bashing is becoming tedious.

I wonder what would happen if we constantly posted about the Swiss and their links to Putin and oligarchs, hoarding of Nazi treasures, Italian mafia who live there, secretly hiding their wealth, human trafficking, organised crime?

Yes, worng word. Guest, you are right. We are talking abut Joan Collins, who spends much of her time in St Tropez, France, New York and Los Angeles, and who she chooses to meet up with.

Nothing to do with my 'imagination', or 'British bashing' (FGS!)- many people have been angered, and much more importantly, concerned about British security, since Johnson attended such bunga bunga parties, not cleared with Security- when Foreign Secretary and later PM- in Italy.

So yes, it would be very interesting to hear from both Joan Collins, and Katie Price, about what happened then. Many of us have been wondering why they were not officially interviewed by Security Services. So yes, it would have been a very valid, and much more interesting question- than the rest of the drivel.

They would all be very interesting questions, which I would be very happy to discuss.

But why would they be asked on an English speaking site, which is mostly for British people or British expats. Totally irrelevant here.

We are talking about Joan Collins and who she chooses to meet up with. You’re the only one talking about who she chooses to meet.

Many of us have been wondering why [Joan Collins and Katie Price] were not officially interviewed by Security Services - really? Who are these many of us? I’m not one of them.

Why would those questions (about the Swiss) not be asked here? They are no more irrelevant than much of the stuff discussed here.

Haven’t seen the interview yet, but will do so in a spare moment.

I have seen the trailer and in my opinion Joan Collins looked fabulous, if I look half as good (if I reach the ripe old age of 90) I will be very happy.

As for the alleged political connections for flips sake …

Luckygirl, what do you believe he could have done about Saville. His predatory behaviour was an open secret by then, one which no one was willing or able to ‘do anything’ about

It is clear from Theroux's autobiography that he did not simply interview him for TV, he formed a relationship with Saville and stayed at his place on several occasions.

Theroux was an intelligent man and knew what was going on, and yet he chose to make his programmes on Saville, giving him the nourishment of publicity. He could have chosen to say no - this man's behaviour is so unacceptable that I am not prepared to give him more publicity - it was the publicity and the fame that flowed from that that gave Saville the means to get away with his appalling behaviour.... that fed into the sense that people were powerless to do anything.

What could he have done? Refused to offer him more publicity by making these programmes; and stayed away from him outside of the programme-making, rather than "befriending" him.

The sections in the autobiography about Saville make pretty troubling reading, and not just because of Saville's behaviour. Theroux needs to ask himself why he chose to enhance his own bank balance whilst furthering the career of this vile man.

They are very relevant on many threads.

We're really rather diverse in fact 😃

We’ve been watching the new series and have found them interesting. I thought the Joan Collins one last night came to an abrupt end but she and Percy seem very content together. She was quite clear that she always had to pay her own way in life.

Why are people so obsessed with Boris’s sex life? The less I know about it the better. His various women all cheated along with him and often cheated on their friends.

Jeremy Corbin has had a similar number of wives, a number of affairs and some extremely dubious acquaintances, but they don’t seem to be picked up on with h the same relish.

I’m a great fan of Joan’s as she is intelligent, glamorous and very entertaining. I have a way to go but I would so much rather look like her than “au natural “ at 90.

In fact, having just re-read my review of Theroux's autobiography, the situation was even worse - Theroux used to keep a room at his own house for when Saville came to visit.
