How the heck did I not know about this? I have a friend in Splott; I've slept in Splott! Anyway, there is a link to the first episode at the beginning of the second episode. The first episode mostly introduces the characters; the second episode is an actual case, albeit with a slightly anti-Welsh slant. I'll be interested in seeing the next installment. Here is a link to all the videos: CLICK HERE.

The Splott Division, a film series following three unlikely superheroes who warden the district of Splott , is set to become an internet smash later this month.

The trailer , which first appeared on YouTube last December, has already notched up nearly 2000 hits for independent start-up Trusty Sidekick Productions.

Directed by BAFTA Cymru award winner David Evans, the quirky web series follows three characters Aiden The Hearing Aid (Tim Howard), Jack The Iceberg (Jonathan Ash), and Mia Superosmia (Hanna Jarman) coming to terms with redundancies in Splott following cuts to the Superhero League Council.

Producer Jonathan Ash, a from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, says the group developed the idea following the announcement the UK Film Council was to be axed.

The cuts inspired us to create a comedy series following superheroes in domestic situations going through the same problems and financial struggles that we are facing , he says.

The Splott Division comprises three four-and-a-half-minute webisodes which will be showcased on YouTube in monthly instalments between February and April.
