So...'Merde!', Brodie!
Thank you for that reminder...just updated a comment I'd left yesterday on the BETM Facebook page. :)

Brodie is not related to Rhys - they went to the same school.

An informative article from the Blackpool Gazette - Brodie's home town paper. Particularly interesting are the comments about the sacrifices that have to be made - to play this role.

A nice article that needs one minor correction: Brodie is the 81st Billy worldwide, not the 76th as the article indicates. Kevin Haugan in Norway and five of The Netherlands Billys debuted before him:
