RIP Phil - legend ❤ I promised Phil I would promote his book before he passed away. The link to Phils book www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Gym-Screw-Parkhurst-Longlartin/dp/1916572332
Just wanted to say I’m humbled by all the lovely comments, thank you. Also thank you to James for giving me the opportunity. Hopefully we can do it again, so much more to tell and cover. Trying to condense 30 years into 2 hours Is impossible. There’s lots of success stories out there it’s just many people, media and press only want to write about what they see as failures. Maybe that’s for next time we meet James. Thanks again. ❤
Absolutely heartbroken my pal has passed😞😞😞😞 just spoken to his wife today and it meant the world! ❤️ just shows you the character of Phils family to think of others at this time❤️ Never forgotten pal see you on the other side😎😎😎😎
I wasn’t lucky enough to have met Phil but his character, personality and HUGE heart shine through in this interview. I was gutted when after watching the interview reading the comments and seeing that he’s passed, so so sad. They always take the best ones early! I don’t think I’ve EVER seen a comment section filled with so much admiration for a man as I’ve seen here. I find it really sad that people only share their feelings about a person AFTER they have passed and I always think “I hope you told them that when they were still with us”, in Phil’s case James’ interview has triggered people to comment on here the difference he made to their lives and what an amazing guy he was and it warms my heart to see that he’s read the comments (and responded to a good chunk of them!) and that even though it’s a tragic loss that he’s passed it’s fantastic that he’s seen for himself how highly thought of he was by so many. He was obviously one in a million and James I’m so sorry that you’ve lost such a good friend and mentor, keep making him proud by continuing your hard work building yourself an amazing life on the right side of the door. I’m so sorry for your loss x Kathy
I was very humbled at his funeral, i was working the wake and the amazing things people said and stories i heard. I spoke to most people and everyone there was so respectful, of Phil, his family and the community he lived in. I wish his family all the best xx
One of the best episodes yet. If there was more people like Phil around the world would be a better place. Kind, respectful, compassionate, self aware, hard working...... look forward to the book 👍
Fascinating. You have to salute men like Phil. Helping to rehabilitate, showing fairness and respect, rather than just locking up and throwing away the key. Also good luck with your recovery.
Can I just say James, Phil is by a country mile the best of the podcasts I've heard. If the world had more Phil's we would be more than half way there, what a respectable and kind human being.
@@philcurrie7524 your story telling is articulate and very gripping, loved it. Strangly I see your message as I was walking around the old dover borstal. Wishing you all the luck in your onward journey. First I was afraid I was petrified and all that. Best wishes mate
@@mickyfinn9871 haha I love James English and I only literally noticed how quiet he is through Phil Curries interview when I read your comment lol bless him and may Phil be suffering no more pain. May he R.I.P xx
What a man Phil is. I’ve just watched the whole this and he’s proof you speak to people with respect and you’ll get it back. All the best. I wanna hear a part 2 please James?
I can vouch for everything this man says after spending six years, five years as a gym orderly in long Lartin👍👍 truly inspirational man! Six years filled of tears of happiness and sadness alike😂😂😭😭! I remember leaving there and the lads wrote to me telling me of Phil’s plight😭😭 they all decided to do a 24 hour triathlon for the charity and all the top boys were eager to be involved😎😎 they raised thousands and openly admitted to shedding a tear at the presentation when Phil turned up to collect the cheque❤️❤️❤️❤️ only sadness I have is on hearing the the fact that phill stood strong for the poison behind him against the poison in front of him against the governor and the rats all patted him on the back asking him, can you say this can you say that when none of them had the balls to stand up!! And to be fair most of it was for us!! But then again how many of us have done the same? And this is what I’m saying! Phil is proper stuff as we say a fucking minority!! Never change my friend!! Respect always James Gilly and the rest of us❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve done all them gym courses he mentioned at least 4 times over the years 😂😂😂 I can still name every muscle and bone. You know about the superior illiac spine ? 😂😂 you know for me to remember that I was a dedicated gym head in there. 😂😂
@@philcurrie7524 You having the lemon and bicarb in the morning ? 👍 my old man been given few months to live got him doing the same. Your a fighter Phil. Don’t take the jab please brother
Nice one fella I’ve got on with a couple of Gym screws when I was orderly and they ain’t bad fellas they ain’t on your back like a normal Black n White Screw, only one i ever had under manners 👍🏼
I love how he describes and show’s you regardless of their crimes they are just people. You can’t always judge someone by one action, and he took the time to get to know them. Great man and a lovely human being.
Anyone who’s ever met Phil will tell you the same! You won’t meet a better bloke, I’ve never met a con who’s had a bad word to say about him👍😎 an absolute legend and the fittest man I’ve ever come across! This man helped me through some dark times at the beginning of my sentence to which I know he did many men.None of us ever saw him as on the other side we saw him as a fair man and that’s all we ever asked for! I consider this man my friend and as an ex con that would be to some a strong thing to say but if you’ve ever met Phil you’d understand😎😎😎 see you soon pal love and respect always GILLY😎😎😎😎
Such a humbling interview. I myself was a prison officer, taken hostage, bullied by staff and now have PTSD. I system is broken, it failed Phil, myself and it fails the prisoners too. Thank you for doing this amazing interview with this amazing man. Rest well Phil, you really made a difference x
Such a beautiful soul. Only had the privilege to speak to him through podcast comments.. Gods got himself a gorgous Angel. May you R.I.P Phil Currie ❤🎉❤
Just watched the last half hour, what a bloke he is. Took pride in his job and helped the lads and has a proper outlook on life. Treat people as you wish to be treated
Ive listened to most of these Interviews by James now but this one has got me. A normal bloke doing a job he loved and making a difference is truly humbling. After seeing this I have a different Outlook on life. Thanks
What a really, really decent human being. Plenty out there, but always good to see someone like Phil having a platform to tell his story. Great work mate. Keep doing what you're doing x Paul
Brilliant Phil! You were articulate and told your story so well. A credit to the service and yourself. Generally, if you treat a prisoner as you wish to be treated yourself, they will reciprocate. A big thank you to you and James for plugging my book ‘Life in the Max’. Tom Hill
An unbelievable podcast, he really told a story of his life and career. And did it so easily and we’ll. I hope you stay well and continue your journey Phil!!!
What are amazing story, and a true inspiration, great fight phil from an ex firefighter, who’s been fighting cancer for the past nine years 🙏🏻 carry on the great fight mate show cancer you can do it again 👍🏻
Phil you are such an inspirational man, I’m nearly in tears listening to your story, I wish you many more years of health and happiness. My dad has just been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and cancer in the heart area, it was like I was meant to watch this interview, I’ve been researching what you said about keeping the body alkaline and I’ll do my best to get my dad down this path. God Bless you Sir ❤
One of the best podcasts you've done james, Phil is clearly one of a kind, you get out what you put in! All the best to Phil and we'll done James for another top class episode
Thanks for this interview James, best one yet and what's not to like about Phil. The way he comes across and tells his story is both interesting and inspiring no matter what background you're from. Judging by some of these comments, treating people with respect along with that cheeky smile has clearly served you well, top man.
Respect. Every body loves a straight up honest man.. and a man of his word. I Pride myself as being a man of my word. Best of health n luck Phil. Keep walking your dog. All the best for your long future, brother
Absolutely loved this. Phil Currie what a legend you are and such a credit to the prison service. You are the kind of person who makes a change and difference in so many peoples lives without even knowing or realising it. So interesting giving us a window into such a closed off place. I hope your health continues to be ok 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’d love to know what you are doing now and if you’re volunteering or anything like that, you should be if not!! Take care and thanks for telling your story (or at least a small part of it) ☺️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just watched all of this video in one hit. What a truly remarkable wonderful man. Could listen to him talking all day. Such a loss to his family and friends ❤
Great podcast james and Phil one of the best I've ever listened to.Most people go to work to get in do as little as possible and go home again .Phil went in and really helped alot of struggling people become better and went beyond. The bit about taking the con to his sons funeral was really incredibly good . All the best Phil and stay healthy 👍.
I've only just started listening to these podcasts with James and am loving them! Glad I picked this one this morning, if only every person that worked in the jail was like Phil. So sad to see on the comments he's passed away, I bet he left a mark on many life's. Rest in peace Phil x
What a great guy. It makes all the difference when you love your job, he looks as happy as larry despite his health issues. Condolences to his wife and family, remember all the laughs and good times youve had. RIP Phil
One of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever heard.Just reading the comments and just seen Phil passed away.RIP Phil,you sounded like a really sound bloke,the world needs more people like you.
Extraordinary man... his unwavering commitment to the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners has not only made a difference in the lives of those he works with but has also made a positive impact on society as a whole. he should be a governor His dedication, hard work understanding on how to work with priosners servs as a model for other staff to follow, and i am grateful for his service and the positive change he brought to my life he is the best prison office that i have known and i am happy to call him my friend. 😍
Thank you James for this most touching interview. Phil is probably the most likeable guest you have ever had on. He seemed to really love being a PEI and comes across as a very honest, dedicated and genuine person. I never met Phil, but am sure all those who did only have good memories of him. Best regards Roger.
Watched a fair few of James English's Anything Goes, all top quality interviews. Allows the subject to free flow with no holds barred. Got to say, this particular interview got me glued from start to finish. What a humble guy Phil Currie. Passionate about his career and outlook on life. A top top bloke - echoed by many other comments. Well done James. Keep em coming !
One of the best interviews I’ve ever listened An all round guy showing every part of a system . James you bring on the best while others dig them out of the dark . You deserve podcast of the year … thank goodness for Real stories…. The real cancer in the system . C
And Jamie Your interviews are really amazing! It’s good to hear open honest uncut talking and no BS . Keep those interviews coming! I watched that interview with Katie recently and she had me in fits! Was never a real fan and thought she was so rude but I changed my opinion after listening to her. What you see is what you get with her and she is one of the few that stick her head above the parapet. Cracking interviews all of them! Thankyou!
Got to be said that this bloke is a 100% genuine legend. Legend is not enough actually. All the good you’ve done Phil without judging the people inside and to go through cancer and still keep going and being positive. Inspirational. Again not enough of a word….. good luck Phil. ❤
When you started off talking about that Clark’s bloke on Bury market and standing on cardboard I was transported back to my childhood doing the same there. That’s where the similarities begin and end but I really enjoyed listening to your journey. Thanks Phil
Most definitely it’s not the Black n Whites that talk to you like when you’re gym orderly it’s the best job I’ve had and had a couple of gym orderly jobs passed NVQ 1-2-3 got out and got nicked again 🤷♂️ Innocent Again obviously Wrong Person fitted up, 10 years??? Got the wrong fella Again trust me!!!😅
Total Respect what an amazing man Phil Currie is. I've just watched your interview with Yammy B. Keep up the great work keep fighting on and stay strong 👊👍
This guy is literally a diamond in the rough! Anyone who goes to prison knows what the screws can be like but there is definitely good ones out there an Phil Currie is clear proof of that. All the best Phil, I wholeheartedly wish you the best of luck in your health an future life. Take care pal 👍🏻
One of the nices blokes I’ve ever met miss our training sessions in utopia gym Evesham miss our conversations me u and Pete laughing till we had tears in our eyes fly high big man 💯🙏🙏
Well done for battling right until the end Phil, not only the cancer, but your job. Your legacy will live on with your story, the class room and the blokes you've helped over the years. You was the sort of fella everyone probably would have liked to have been mates with. God bless you son.
Phil, just to say. I grew up in Bury, Walmersley more acturatly. Been in the service for 20yrs, Pei since 2008 our lives are so similar it's scary. However moved to Hull in 1998 so been a yorkshire pudding for a lot of years. Good to hear your story.
What a top fella you are Phil!! Diamond hearted bloke through and through 👏 liberal minded and always treating people like human beings no matter who they are and what got them there 🙏 if we had more people like you working in the system rehabilitation might actually work! Wishing you all the very best and keep up the big fight big man 👏😃 x
Phil Currie your an ICON to hear the real side of prison to Mike and all the amazing prisoners to the security services, you changed the world. James your simply the best motivational podcast…hears to healing the real cancers on the planet… A badge of Honour !
Superb interview and more a representation of what jail is like. You learn your trade in the dispersal system that’s for sure. I have a million stories and a million memories. Best of luck mate. 👍👍
RIP Phil - legend ❤
I promised Phil I would promote his book before he passed away.

Just wanted to say I’m humbled by all the lovely comments, thank you.
Also thank you to James for giving me the opportunity.
Hopefully we can do it again, so much more to tell and cover. Trying to condense 30 years into 2 hours Is impossible.
There’s lots of success stories out there it’s just many people, media and press only want to write about what they see as failures. Maybe that’s for next time we meet James.

One of the most informative, likeable, articulate guys I've ever seen. Thanks to you both for a great couple of hours.
Thanks for watching
Thank you mate, really kind of you. 👍
What an amazing man, wishing him all the very best.. ❤️
Such resilience..
Can't wait to read his book
Phil sounds a great person with tremendous courage I wish him the best of luck for the future. A great interview James
Iv had many run ins with officers but to every bad egg there's 20 diamond s like this officer . Respect
possibly one of the best you've done James ,couldn't turn if off
Got to be said that this bloke is a 100% genuine legend. Legend is not enough actually. All the good you’ve done Phil without judging the people inside and to go through cancer and still keep going and being positive. Inspirational. Again not enough of a word….. good luck Phil. ❤
Humbled, thank you. 👍
Top and genuine bloke. Loved this! Thankyou!
When you started off talking about that Clark’s bloke on Bury market and standing on cardboard I was transported back to my childhood doing the same there. That’s where the similarities begin and end but I really enjoyed listening to your journey. Thanks Phil
Thank you, I hated those shoes 😂 but great memories.
Absolutely amazing ive gone away with this with such a smile on my face MOT.
Was deffo worth the wait this,
Govs lile him are the only reason so many people actually make it out the otherside
Most definitely it’s not the Black n Whites that talk to you like when you’re gym orderly
it’s the best job I’ve had and had a couple of gym orderly jobs passed NVQ 1-2-3 got out and got nicked again 🤷♂️
Innocent Again obviously Wrong Person fitted up, 10 years???
Got the wrong fella Again trust me!!!😅
So many parts of this gave me goosebumps! What a good man. Rip Phil. I believe he made such a positive change to many lives.
