Yep Andrew doesn't come across as a stereotypical Rough tough Gangster. He comes across very shrewd intelligent & cunning individual. As you say I think he's the type of character that would have done well at anything if he put his mind to it because you can tell by listening to him he has drive & ambition ( instilled in him from his parents) . I like the way he pointed out at the start of thee interview to anyone thinking about going down this route don't do it coz it will catch up with you at some point. I hope this guy stays on the straight & narrow & isn't dragged back into the life by someone dangling some carrots under his nose, but if he's anyway smart which he seems to be he'll leave that well alone. If he was to get caught again smuggling he'd be in for even bigger bird! Not worth sacrificing ones freedom noway.

In my opinion , The reason he seems normal and down to earth is because he was a lover of dance music and xtc, And had a love for the music before he fell in love with the drugs. The xtc / Rave scene changed good people into bad people and the xtc turned bad people into good people, But the music and love for it broke down barriers,

​@@JamesEnglish I would love to see him back on again. Unless he's already been back on and I missed it.

What an amazing podcast. Not to slate other guests but, Andrew seems to be the only guest who truly doesn’t want the life of smuggling/crime to be glamourised. He’s lived his life (and got extremely lucky) yet, doesn’t want the youth of today getting involved in a life of crime.

Best guest yet, very intelligent down to earth guy

Well composed talk, not talking to fast. Man thinks about what’s coming out his mouth, before it’s to late.

The best line yet James “you get big shots on here thinking there big..there a mile off the pace”..absolutely brilliant again James

How’s he managed to talk so long without W drink of water 💧 James get jugs of water for your guests.😂

This the best one for me so far, the fella came across really well, humble and honest and no bravado, blag or BS. Full respect to him, probably why he did so well as he did for so long. Cracking listen. High caliber guest James 👏🏼👏🏼

You can tell this man is so fucking intelligent and it’s very impressive. He’s played the system and the big game and got off very lightly to what he should have. Best interview i’ve watched in a very long time

Without question the best podcast to date - loved Andrew's open and candid story. The fact its delivered without ego or provado make it so captivating , definitely needs to made into a film

Good work as always James.

Andrew seems like a genuinely nice guy good luck in the future

This in all honesty is a better story then a awarding winning Hollywood writer could come up with and it’s a true story, this needs the best of the best to get a movie done, blockbuster or what

He’s gotta make a film through from the 70s growing up through the 80 and 90’s up until present day, top top film. Right director and it’s another British classic!!!!!!

Thanks James once again for an amazing podcast. This is the best one yet, he is amazingly intelligent and measured. You can tell he would've succeeded in anything he did in life. Appreciate this channel and your hard work!

One of the best podcasts yet AP seems a great guy. He’s on here for all the right reasons 2 minutes in he makes great message to the young ones listening and finishes of giving great advice in studying

I’ve watched nearly all your video, James but this is one of your best ever. This is a guy who really made it to the top of the drug world and the bigger you are the harder you fall. Death or prison is all you achieve and misery for your family. Incredible story and insight but again, drugs ruin every life and the money gets taken away

Probably the best story/podcast I have listened to so far doesn’t come Across cocky at all or have anything to prove quite clearly business minded it massively highlights how bad the younger generation are now just running around killing for no real gain

Yes, absolutely incredible, isn't it? Yet he's so humble and down to earth. Love how he immediately expressed that his life of smuggling is not one to follow. He had a beautiful GF/wife back when he was sentenced, I wonder if they're still together, lemme know, anyone

I'm dead against what criminals do and the destruction they cause to the wider community, but you can't help but like this guy. He speaks well, very charismatic, so it's like bitter sweet for me. At least he owns up to what he has caused through his drug smuggling and he's trying to help people from going into this life of pain and misery. Good podcast that. All the best Andrew

loved the chat about the rave scene you need to get more guys that was involved in this

What a journey ! Within a journey within a journey ! What a way to learn about greed , ego and stupidity, good to see the mans still alive to now help others , positive vibes and thanks for the interview.

How much cleaner as it gotta be b4 it sinks into the mindset of today’s youth. Andrew as told a story of misery destruction and regret. He was lucky he came out the other side alive. Deception jealousy informants, describes the criminal fraternity in 3 words. My dad said to get nice things in life you have to work for them, he’s 80 today n came to England from Jamaica in 1959, worked the same job until he retired at 63, he installed the same work ethic into my mindset at 17, even though he was divorced from my mother. I’ve passed the same work ethic onto my 25yr old and 13 yr old daughters. The working man will always be a winner. Who really wants to spend years of their life behind bars to achieve getting nice things. Health and family are worth more than any amount of money 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇯🇲

Interesting guy, I didn’t want this interview to stop, part 2 is needed. Andrew Pritchard is good mates with my uncle and they use to hang around with each other in Hackney and done business, I recall my uncle telling me back in early 2000s.

Canit wait to hear Andrew's story,

This is definitely, surely the biggest hitter on this or any UK true-crime site. Amazing guy/great interview. I must admit I thought James was probably just talking when he said at the beginning of the year that his podcast will be hitting a different level compared to other podcasts.
