Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick)

[Siobhan]

Were you pleased that Billy was chosen for this?
"Yeah, absolutely. I didn't see it coming at all myself. At first I thought, 'What's he done to deserve it?', but most people have pointed out to me that it's not what he's done, it's what he hasn't done! He hasn't cheated on his wife, he's not a greedy man, he's not trying to steal money from people - he's just an honest Joe who tries. That's basically what the whole Olympic ethos is - it's about trying your best."

did people seem to forget all the stolen post and charity money Billy had hidden in his wardrobe???
