In 1996 Darren Barden was at home on a Monday night when there was a knock on the door. He was stabbed 20 times by two men and his best-selling book "Let's skip to the good bits", documents a 20-year journey to get his life back.
This is a very candid interview about the consequences of knife crime and Darren talks very honestly about what the attack did to him and his family. 
He now uses his experiences to inspire other people.
