Pete Wicks: Tattoos, Trauma & Trying to Be Enough

Joe Marler Will See You Now
Contains very strong language, adult humour, scenes of a sexual nature and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Available for over a year

Pete Wicks enters Dr Joe’s office carrying a belief he’s had since childhood: that he’s never quite enough. Together, they trace that feeling back to its roots, unpacking the early experiences that shaped Pete’s self-worth and the pressure he’s carried ever since. The conversation widens to modern masculinity, including Pete’s interview with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and what it revealed about being a man today. A shared love of tattoos then leads to a Rorschach-style experiment involving Joe’s body and some highly questionable analysis. Joe Marler Will See You Now is a Folding Pocket Production If you are suffering distress or despair and need support, including urgent support, a list of organisations that can help is available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
