Things are looking up for the producers of Channel Nine's gangland drama series Underbelly: not only does Chopper reckon there should be "more shooting less rooting" on the show, now Carl Williams has announced he's unhappy with the way the series has portrayed him!

Writing to his mum, from Barwon Prison where he is serving three life sentences, Williams complained that the show had painted him out as an idiot.

"I don't mind them telling the truth about me, but telling lies and painting me out like some kind of d**khead who is brain dead - well that's just bulls**t," he stormed.

 

The outburst is among a series of shocking revelations handed to Channel 7 reporter Norm Beaman.

Williams, who is linked to the deaths of up to 12 men and is allowed no direct access to the media, also insists he killed only in self-defence.

"I am the first to admit that I wish that I could turn back time and what happened never did … although I must confess I am certainly not ashamed of the lengths I was forced to take to protect myself and my loved ones," he wrote in the letters, reported by Fairfax today.

Well, at least he's behind bars.

Although if Home & Away has taught us anything, it's that incarceration isn't necessarily going to stop Evil™ from prevailing - watch out, Channel Nine drama department!
