We hope you enjoyed Who Robs A Banksy? If you're reading this, chances are you did.
So where have we ended up? Has the team managed to get to Banksy? And above all, is Andy ever going to get the closure he’s after?
The Drinker mysteriously vanishes from Andy’s back garden…and theories are flying about who might be behind it. But things get really interesting when it appears 10 years later on sale at Sotheby’s. Is Banksy really the anti establishment figure we all want to think he is? And the team has one final shot at getting in touch with Banksy. From Podimo & Message Heard, this is Who Robs A Banksy?
While Banksy might turn out to not be as anti-establishment as we once thought, it’s time to hear about Andy’s contrarian movements - and how his involvement with sub-cultures massively backfired on him. And in perhaps the most anti-establishment move possible, Andy starts to put his plan to get his own back on Banksy into action…
Andy Link is no ordinary guy. He’s touched almost every iconic British subculture going - from football hooliganism, to illegal raves to the street art scene. But perhaps most surprisingly, in 2004, he masterminded the kidnapping of a Banksy statue from the centre of central London in broad daylight. Journalist Jake Warren sets out to discover who this guy really is, and what he’s got against Banksy.
