    When the subject of Louis Theroux's latest documentary came to light in the office, everyone exclaimed, 'I love Louis!' Because that seems to be the Louis Theroux effect.

    Sure, he's no Hollywood actor like his cousin Justin Theroux (AKA Mr. Jennifer Aniston) but his shows have come to be known as some of the best documentaries ever, covering topics like scientology, prison and the sex industry.

    And now, even among all the ridiculousness that is Donald Trump quotes, there still seems to be a glimmer of hope with this presidency because our bae Louis is going to fix it. (Sort of.)

    While Trump was campaigning to be president, Louis made it clear that he thought Trump would make a 'disastrous presidency' but since the election results, Louis decided that making a documentary about the president would be 'an amazing challenge.'

    The upcoming documentary will be a three-part series filmed in the United States with a focus on the White House - who now have a secret code for when Donald Trump has sex...

    Louis has told The Mirror: ' The challenge with Trump would be… something so abhorrent that walks on two legs and is a human being, you have to explore where his foibles come from.'

    'It feels like a whole cultural, almost sea change in how the world is part of the post-Brexit wave of populism. The story seems to change every day with Trump. There's something new bubbling under. It's hard to get your head around such a big subject.'

    'Hopefully people will like it. It's good.'

    Now, we wait with baited breath until BBC2 announces when it'll be on air as we trust you Louis, we know it's going to be good.
