2. Billy Billingham MBE: Street Fights, Armed Combat and ‘Brangelina’

Billy served over 20 years in the SAS having joined the Parachute Regiment at the age of 17. His life before joining the military was very different to his life afterwards. A criminal record, gang involvement and a close shave with death after being stabbed were replaced with discipline and respect.  In an extraordinary conversation with Pete, Billy opens up about the men who saved him, who made him realise that he wouldn’t amount to much if he continued down the path he was on.   If you want to find mental health support where you live, or talk about your feelings, visit the Hub of Hope (www.hubofhope.co.uk) where you can find links to services across the UK. We’d love you to join in the conversation, to do so follow @manmadepod on Instagram & TikTok For Biscuit Jim  Lead producer – Elly Lazarides Talent Booker – Lana Webb Assistant Producer – Beth Linnell Executive Producer – Geoff Jein  For Bauer Media Group: Social Media Producer - Serena Bhardwaj Lead Video Producer Editor - Greg Stocks Camera Operator and Edit Assistant - Owen Nosal Head of Video – Edie Jefferys Chief Creative Officer – Lucie Cave
