Billy Burnham

Billy Burnham was a former alcoholic and the owner of a Sydenham motor business.

On Christmas Eve, 2008, Billy was driving to Warrington with a present for his son - a yellow hot rod - in the hope that it would make up for all the Christmases that he wasn't there. On the way, he stopped to pick up a hitchhiker, a girl called Natasha, who was hoping to get to Blackpool.

Instead of taking her all the way, Billy planned to drop her in Warrington, from where she could hitch a lift up the M6. As he opened the door to let her out on the approach road, the Zynog possessing Natasha attacked Billy and entered his mind, killing his consciousness. (AUDIO: Death in Blackpool)
