What an inspirational story these podcasts are second to none
I love how you let us see the other side of so many folk who are almost instantly judged, I’ve always been taught forgiveness and this just proves to me what my good old gran use to say- “we r all gods children and we all have a story”
Keep up the interviews James , you really should have your own TV show but sadly tv channels would probably dilute your content.
It takes a real man to admit he's failings in life but this guy were he's heart on he's sleeve and he sounds like a gentleman. More power too him. Great interview James. I've really enjoyed it and I can understand the difficulties he's been through. Great stuff.
WHAT A GUY!!!! YOU AND JOE MATE ARE SPOT ON...... BIRKENHEAD LAAAAD
Tramadol nights. Typical scouser, some great jokes. Red Rum in the background one caused me to spill my coffee. Its true what others have said about you James, you are a very skilled interviewer.
james english is a great interviewer,,,,top class
Brilliant James!
Happened to me and all my mates from school started going to jail in 99 and to took me till about 2005 to stop going back, 1st time I was set up for attempted burglary, I did me a favour because I was in my 1st year of heroin addict, my dad stuck by me , if you don’t have family you are Fucked, not being though this stuff though, I dare not go to Thailand on myself , I went to Egypt 4 times i nearly got locked up off my head on diazepam linctus ,
Sorry to say this again,but I must.You are a cracking interviewer James.You allow your guest to speak,it's all about them,not about you interupting,and trying to grab attention like so many others do.You make the conversation interesting,informative and entertaining.Please keep up the great work.
VillaSamba Brasil thank you 👍🏼
Well said
Thats because its long form conversations apparently mainstream media think we are 2 thick to sit and listen

The satisfaction of proving mainstream media wrong, by watching these guys instead, is brilliant .
We don't need them anymore ➡️

scousers are the best teller of storys for real
too right
Is right.
You mean the best storytellers?
Yorkshire-men.

The courage these guys have in putting themselves out there, into extremely vulnerable positions is nothing but admirable. To be as honest as they are, about who they are, where they are, and how they tick, demonstrates more heart and salt than any of the snakes and rats that run this mess of a country.
Darren gee ...how are you lad!!
Yet another masterclass in interviewing by James English - he really is light years ahead of the so-called big name interviewers who seem to be more intent on their own self promotion rather than the stories of their guests... Brilliant James, well done, great work. As for Billy Moore - what a great fella. A really strong and inherently decent man. Keep up the great work - both of youse.
Who's here from watching Darren Gee's interview.???
Which interview
Yeah me too mate. Didn't see anything about Attwood though 🤔
I think its the podcast where Billy is interviewing James, all or nothing its called. That's if you were after the attwood talk anyway, about 13 mins in 👍
WHAT interview??🤔🤔
HERE FOR BILLY MOORE LAD
Billy is so honest and deep it actually saddens me about my own life, I wouldn’t have the courage to tell my story he’s a true warrior and helpful to youths.
aww thank you for this.... I met Bill many years ago in a place called Genie inthe Gutter in Liverpool where he volunteered...he took me to my very first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting 7 yrs ago..... he helped change my life.... good man.... x
Thats brilliant, how are you keeping now ?

What football team u support James? Great interviews chief
An now Billy has his own podcast with some great guests 👌
Great to see you support others in the game James! No doubt you have inspired many new podcasters an it's clear from your style and content that you have nothing to worry about competition wise, I think TV and particularly documentaries could be big for you in the near future, you really are an inspiration mate. Keep up the hard graft lad, you deserve all the current and future success. 👊
Billy Moore always respected his humility and humanity...coming at yer from philladelphia ✊️✌️ Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia
I was in tears watching this great interview. I absolutely was with Billy all the way. What a great guy.
❤
Fair play to Billy for coming out the other side of all that, I'm an addict myself so got respect for anyone 18 months clean and great interview by James as always really
This for me is by far the best one yet, what a story this man has, I read the book in jail and I watched the film not long ago, the inner strength of this man is inspiring 👌🏼 another great piece of work James👍🏼
dsutermma cheers mate
What was the book called mate
What's the film called please
@@jaysleman2692the video says, A Prayer Before Dawn.
@@SilverMist0121A Prayer Before Dawn. You need the author’s name too?
This was one of my favourite interviews you’ve done James. Billy is a captivating guy.
You ask good questions and let the guest shine as always!
This story just kept giving and I get there was more to tell too. Crazy life. Good luck to Billy on the recovery.
Chicken head soup ,ladyboys playing bingo 😂a stunt double in Rambo what a story another great interview 🙏🏻🏴
Gallus Kirsty thank you Kirsty x
What i took from this interview is kids who are born into homes with lets say challenging environments I.e. abusive parents,maybe drug abuse,warring parents,poverty and so forth,so they may often spend their whole life trying to combat the after effects or residuals.
Even those who manage to avoid the pitfalls of Drugs or crime and perhaps manage to carve out a relatively normal life&family for themselves may still struggle with Depression and other maladies..
I was raised in a family of 8kids,&they could have been more!(they were typical Irish,from the hills of county Kerry&my
parents,were pretty much out of their depth in London,the Irish were'nt to popular back then!,)
so i certainly understand him having no relationship with his father.
And living in the E.end of London i could have easily have gone down that road of Drugs,booze and crime..but thankfully I always worked&kept busy (my own kind of therapy)But the anger and resentment never dissipates.
.I no longer live in the UK,but every day&week is always a challenge and as i said that State of mind can easily resurface itself..def a work in progress..
@@jerryoshea3116 raised in Dublin but similar challenges, ptsd e.c.t..
@@patglennon9671 Yeah,as much as "Dublin"can be a very attractive place to visit&have fun👍not everyone is living in the "Ballsbridge or Sandymount area's(that's where I've stayed in the past) or are enjoying the cultural scene available..
A pal of mine who was living in London most of his life(but has in the last few yrs moved down to Bristol)was born in Dublin(Crumlin)and even though it was a long time ago he remembers how tough it was,hence why his folks were forced to move to London,but fortunately he&his 3 brothers were all "Bright"and got good jobs..And he has always worked hard&goes to the Gym slot,)
But both of my Bros back in London have"The Drink"problemo..
Well I won't bore/depress u any further,take care&stay well.👍☘️
@Jointops Cali Thank u👍..In general I try not to focus too much on my upbringing(it was hard,but I'm sure many more people had it worse)
So I do try to live in the present,but as I said in my comment I can totally understand where the fella in the interview is coming from!So stay Healthy,"Fit in body,fit in mind!"👍
Great interview again James. All the best for the future Billy. Great lad
Arthur Daley thanks billy
A prayer before Dawn is a great film, this guy has some story,if you like this story get a book called The Damage done 12 years in a Bangkok prison, its about an Australian drug smuggler Warren fellows, you wont be able to put the book down 📖 great interview James 👍
It is a ok book.
That books the film of midnight express
You can get his book at Heathrow Airport, see it on my way to Thailand.
Good luck Billy and stay off the smack mate.
Good interviewer; asks the question then LISTENS to the answer,nice change to some interviewers that insist on giving their personal opinion (which nobody cares about)
Too Much Sauce 👍🏼
I watched the film "A Prayer Before Dawn. Excellent film, realistic fight scenes, and an interesting ending because, you have actor Joe Cole, playing real life prisoner Billy Moore and the real life Billy Moore playing his dad face to face through the prison bars.
From Ireland love your podcasts you do your homework and more important you don't judge anyone thank you James keep it going...
James your good at wat you do, you let your people talk rather than wanting to listen to your own voice, good man try get billy billigham or Ollie or ant off who dares wins programme, some podcasters don’t let them talk you would well done,
The most sincere and honest.Interview I’ve ever watched .he has the strength that’s inspirational .true rare breed . Top man .all the best in the future
When he said he had an allergy but never in lumps and bumps just handcuffs misery and pain, it just shows what a broken person he is like alot of his kind but also how clever he is to be able to express it in such a way.
Billy wot a great 👍 podcast lad you come across as a belter feller all the very best for your future my m8 🤝keep your chin up scouse 🤝CHAMBO

The beat one yet James. What a genuine guy Billy Moore is. Great job!
Are you interviewing him in a gym or summit ? Who's idea was that? your both keep getting distracted
James your the new go to for when I get a minute to myself I skin up and listen to you my man. I'm as hooked as when I first found rogan but your stuffs obviously better. You are on point. Big respect from london
Thanks brother
Best story in a while. Cheers James well made, reminds me of crazy friends from Manchester and Liverpool being chased around Bangkok by the blue boys. :)
I think the fact he wrote what he wrote for other reasons than using it for a book made it as good as it was and the story so well remembered and detailed. Ordered it now and cant wait to read it :)
Have the book and the film so actually seeing the guy tell his story is interesting, and the scene of the first night in the Thai jail is brutal.
can't think of a name 👍🏼
What's the film James
@@lauriemiller412 The film is called A Prayer Before Dawn , hope that helps.
I like how James sits back and lets the person talk, a lot of people always jump in and interrupts the guest
Thanks scotty
Is this the Billy Moore Darren Gee talks about?
Think it’s his son that was Willy. Willy still in jail I think
no

hi james have you heard off gary spiers mario karate legend from liverpool
I’m puzzled as to why this guy is described as a “Liverpool gangster”’maybe I missed something in the interview can someone explain?
Me too and most of them.
Liverpool junkie
Cheers James another belter still laughing at what part of Germany you from 😂😂😂😂😂😂🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪👍
Brian Smith 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈
Remember somebody saying that to me in Florida. R u German. Was usually, r u Irish, Scottish, even Aus. Never English like 😃😃.
I rarely ever laugh, even if I find something funny, but " I hope she doesn't like the brown one" had me dying haha!
As someone from Liverpool I appreciate this

@@JamesEnglish a similar book/story is "Warren Fellows: The Damage Done" I have read that x3 every time in 1 day. It's a page turner he is Aussie but be great if you could interview him

James Cairney What happened to real men? SMH
Dave Kirkwood It’s 2019 did you just assume my gender hahahah 🤣
Happy wife happy life that’s the key
James Cairney Your name kind of gave the game away. Out of curiosity what is your wife doing while you’re doing all her jobs?
Dave Kirkwood she was building a fence and fixing the plumbing!
She was watching the telly resting up since she works 2 jobs and also takes care of our 3 year old son and is currently 14 weeks pregnant with our second
James Cairney Fair enough man I was just pulling your leg 👍
When he starts singing the Thai national anthem 😂😂😂😂
Used to watch both you and Shaun, but noticed certain things about him and his eyes and body language a few months ago, so stuck with James (who is a far more natural presenter anyway).
Subsequent events have proved me right. Always trust your gut instincts.
Keep up the great work James 👊🏻❤️
Every podcast james does are all well worth listening too !!!! SCOTLAND
Thanks brother
No probs bro only saying it is as it is the truth !!
I have watched the film not read the book yet only because I didn't realised there was one. But Billy Moore as a great story to tell and tells it well. I do think labelling him a gangster is a bit strong. He seems to of a villain nothing major. But the selling point his the time he spent in Thai prison and survived to tell his story and it's an inspiring story. Great podcast one of the best because he's not bigging himself up
❤
Bought this book in 2012 when I was out In Thailand from the airport seriously opened my eyes.
It's good to see him come through such a surreal experience..top man.Great interview 👊
Throughly enjoyed. Watching you both. Great interview.
James you’re killing it with these podcasts. Having noticed you before you started these I feel so proud of you. You have great skills, tactics and occasional impartiality when needed. You listen and empathise but your interviewing skills are outstanding. Another superb listen. Great work. 💯

I think that's all that any child wants to hear from their parent/parents. Those words I love You. Your an inspiration Bill and your honesty was a torch to my heart. I applaud your sencerty and your selfless attitude. A credit Sir.
Great to see you back on track Billy, good luck with the new book!
Good man billy and a good brother to joe
People moaned about covid lockdowns (Myself included) This chap survived 3 years in a Thai prison.
Do i believe he stayed away from the lady boys, haha, Hell no, lol
If he was out of his head on opiate based pharmaceutical drugs he probably had a very low sex drive.
Love Billy's positive attitude. Best of luck for the future 👏
Il be honest I’ve just googled this guy as had no idea who he was.. now that I have this is gonna be a good listen 👍
Gary Richardson it’s some story
James English it was mate, need read the book and see the film now
Another great interview. I came across you by accident over the Luke Mitchell interview. You really do your homework to ask the right questions and lead the interview into what looks like just a conversation between friends. Great channel 👍🏼
Stephan Jenkins thanks Stephen 👍🏼
Really liked this podcast didn't see this on your channel James my mate told me about it.Im from Liverpool so think this one of the best iv watch.Alls iv got to say to Billy is what a counselor said to me.Believe in your self more.Hope you see this comment Billy. You don't give yourself the credit you deserve.You are realy helping people so be proud of yourself. Iv been struggling with drink and drugs since I was 18 I'm now 44.Iv had anough of it and fond your podcast so it's helping me today to hopefully start getting of the drink and drugs. James thank you for having brilliant guest on your show
Just voted for you James.Good luck from Barcelona.
John Farrell thanks John
Great Interview again. Let's hope all the votes help your podcast 😊
motivator 5 thank you
Top lad billy mate. Pure selfless honesty throughout your battles you took on the chin picked up yer recovery. Theirs no recovery without relapse big fella. You know the aches n pain of trauma like you said mate pre conditioned to death like that I identify with mate, the drugs n drink to numb all that shit. Your a great example for the younger generation that I see around my own area🏴, been and done and no without it came needless pain, we learned to nurture making us feel abnormal, in reality just normal bro, suck is life. Respect with your weapons campaign mate and your health stays on the up bro. Well done on your sobriety👌

Hi James and Hi Billy 👍. Excellent story about grace under pressure 👊😎. Btw Billy, your mate Jeff Olly taught me how to box 🥊😉🥊.
This will be interesting after listening to Darren Gee yesterday 👍
Is this Willie Moore who tried to have Darren gee shot or a different guy?
I Wonder what his relationship is like with Darren gee
Not the same person mate

@@naithan936 because willy moore is still in prison
Heard darren callin him a snitch mate...on shaun attwood...
I watched that didn't click in who he was on about tho

So true. Andy England 🇬🇧😜
Another top Podcast James.
Billy's story reminds me of Warren Fellows story, an Australian drug smuggler who was caught smuggling heroin and served 12 years in a series of Thai prisons.
In his book, The Damage Done, he tells the story about being transferred up to a farm type prison after serving a few years of his sentence.
Once in a while he said there was a fella who could get prisoners access to a pig so they could have "sexual relations" with it for a few packs of cigarettes.
Warren states that for a few packs more you could even get a good looking one!
Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting and looking forward to this one. Much respect, keep up the great work.
Vincenzo Swag thank you 🙏🏼
Easily the best interviewer iv watched manages to get more from the guest by actually listening and not interupting and cutting them off really enjoyed this podcast 👍
Voted for you James even know don't like giving any bastard my details lol good luck fella top show again
Carey Scates Ahahah thank you
Night shift sorted for an hour 👌👌, when is David icke James
devo broon next Sunday 👍🏼
Excellent James canny wait 👏👏
David Icke is a nutter! How can anyone take him seriously when he thinks there are humans that are reptilian/lizards. Icke never has any tangible proof for his theories. I gave him a chance and listen but found he talks and makes things sound possible but never have i seen an ounce of proof for anything.
I think it was around 99 I met Billy in altcourse prison he was on the same wing has I was. I'm glad he's turned his life around and staying clean from drugs. I know how much addiction takes over your life and how hard it is to break that cycle of being a heroin addict. I'm still after 25 years trying to get myself sorted out but I have changed so much for the better than I was 10 years ago. I could listen to Billy talk all day long he's a proper nice guy and seems a very clever fella to. Good on you Billy keep up the great work you do helping people like myself much respect all the best and take care buddy 👍
What wing were you on?
This video inspired me to get the audiobook, for a guy with his background he has an EXTRAORDINARY writing talent.
A ghost writer would have ritten it I bet
@@thomasedmundrichards probably , can express himself very well though
fantastic interviews james,ive never had a boring minute while listening to the people you have interviewed,you seem to connect so well with people from all walks of life and you have a raw talent,life as a crimanal is a load of shite,even whern your making lots of cash,as the more you earn,the more people are being hurt,and im a firm believer in karma and that the more badness you put out there,does come back to you eventually,and its obviously true becouse of all the ex-crimms saying about a life of crime is a life of misery,and to hear it from some of the hardest men out there just clarifies my way of thinking,so anyway james,keep up the good work becouse people need to hear that a life of crime is shite,and to hear from the fellas who have been massive in there time to now say how shite it really is ,i hope some people listen to these interviews and make a real change to their life,but if not then thats their problem,but top man james for trying to reach those who need to change their lives,keep well pal. justin from chesterfield derbys
Thanks Justin
@Justin Wragsdale,
Great post mate, and i agree with you, that karma, whether good, or bad, will come back to us .
For some young ones, hopefully, these videos will make them think twice about going down the crime path, but others, especially kids with very strong willed characters , won't listen, and go on to make their own mistakes .
It's a pity they can't show videos like these to teenagers, in schools, it might be better than boring them silly with stuff they're not interested in .
Here just watched this, fantastic story. Felt a real connection in the mind set, thoughts feels and emotions. He comes across great
Am a massive muay Thai fan glad to see this
Raymond Lamb 👍🏼
Some podcast this was btw Films getting watch the night 👊🏻👊🏻 Respect in abundance!
Brilliant. Think we crossed paths many years ago in our previous lives in liverpool. Follow Billy now as he's engaging and insightful. I'm in recovery now so really do identify with him a lot. Living all these podcasts James
Is this who darren gee was on a murder charge with? If so this is who darren grassed up
I'm Andy by the way using mi dear old mams account! Well i certainly havent got the stories to tell like Billy but my life is very similar. I got hooked on heroin aged 16 and am still using to this day, aged 43. I've served 19 prison sentences up and down the country. I too have been in that dark, lonely place. Sat in a prison cell wanting to die because there just doesn't seem to be a way out of my addiction and the desperation and depression it breeds. Quite emotional listening to billys story as I can identify with it personally. Seems a great guy. Congratulations on 18 months clean !
hope you can kick this devil drug Andy and fair play for your honesty.. I wish you all the best mate please don't give up God has a plan for you and you'll find happiness and peace soon mate
Andy thanks for your honesty- I'm at the same place & similar background -sitting in a bare flat with same thoughts & feelings-difference is I'm trying to put in a bit of action & going in to treatment hopefully soon-try & form a plan of action & use the drug services- if you had enough like me & using ain't working anymore surrender -take care bruva God bless x
Thanks for sharing ur story bab you've accepted that u hav a problem, perhaps engage with ur local NA or online meetings if u want to? Everyone works their own recovery their own way in their own time! If ur not ready ur not. You hav2 do it 4 yourself when ur ready. It took me lots of rock bottoms&relapses b4 I fully surrenderd to working with the NA fellowship&actively working my recovery& 12steps at my pace. Reach out bab. It will click in place one day hun. Inbox if u want to talk xx
I really hope your still doing well mate
I was on drink and drugs In the past for many years even tried to take my own life on a couple occassions but still here and glad I'm here ..... I have done a few prison sentences. I used the prison to get clean.my last prison sentence made me realise I need to stop this or it is the life I going to live forever. I got a single cell started reading helped me focus and started training in gym and in my cell. All of a sudden I started suffering with epilepsy due to me going cold turkey and coming off drink and drugs got told the way I stopped using my addictions could have killed me. I now suffer with epilepsy and will all my life but since my release in 2015 I have a everything I've ever wanted house job family and happiness ... I can do it so believe me it's possible if you want clean but you got to want it that much. Even stay away from so calls friends in other drug users and drug dealers. They wil only push u to take or buy they will make your life worse and harder to stop that's for sure.. But all the best stay safe get focused in stay focused on getting clean. The more you believe and the more you want it. It will happen take care
I was 5 doors down from billy in Wigan J wing.
Spent most of my days in the library with him.
We read and edited his new book every day for weeks and weeks. Glad you’re doing better mate

Best interview podcast on you tube bar none. Top guests great interview,s right questions and let the guests speak. ❤️

Getting bang into this channel at the moment. One of the best this one.
Very interesting to hear someone's life story like this, my introduction to drugs was very similar, someone once asked me would I change everything I did in my life, I answered no cos its all the shit and stuff is what's made me into the man I love today
Fair dues, for a honest answer but you probably one of the lucky ones that's still here. Plenty youngsters sadly experiment with hard drugs and don't see the age of 30.
Family always pays price.
