Life wasn’t always so good for George Williams, ambitious businessman and the face of new online TV project Inexcess.tv. He describes his old self as “Ozzy Osbourne, Oliver Reed and George Best all rolled into one.”
Williams has spent 25 years battling a chronic drink problem, mixing obsessive-compulsive patterns of behaviour with a destructive need to hide at the bottom of a bottle.
He freely admits to drinking two bottles of vodka a day just a few short years ago and harbouring “a real desire to die.”
Now, however, Williams has come through the worst and developed what he sees as a method of re-programming individuals who have suffered at the hands of a life led Inexcess (see what he’s done there?).
The manifestation of this is his new online TV series that offers viewers hour-long episodes of discussion, awareness, support and advice, helping them to “have a place in society feeling they can fit in, function, achieve and contribute.”
Filming for the show
Williams describes Inexcess as ‘real life reality TV’ and says that he wants to use the format to help show people how they too can overcome their demons and, as he has done, start making the journey to recovery.
The first series of the show is now online, with individual programmes looking at; Alcohol Abuse; Drug Addiction; Pleasure and Problems; and Depression, Fear and Stress.
Williams is currently searching for other recovering sufferers/addicts, counsellors, professionals and academics to appear on the Merseyside-based show and help guide Inexcess viewers to a better place.
The site itself also allows users to upload web diaries and blogs and share their experiences.
Liverpool’s Bright Moon Films is the production management team behind the first series of shows.
