Against the Odds

on BBC One London

'Drinking, drinking, drinking - working, drinking - then thieving - anything, doing silly little jobs....' that was Dave Brown's life until four years ago. Now he runs two hostels for the rehabilitation of alcoholics in Oxford, lectures on crime and the criminal and talks to undergraduates about his recently discovered faith.
'Without faith, I think I'd still be back out there on the bottle.'
