Official Release Date 28th Feb Episode One Existing 'Splott Division' members Superosmia and The Hearing AId discover that a new Hero is joining the team... but it isn't good news for everyone. The series follows the trials and tribulations of three unlikely Superheroes as they struggle to come to terms with redundancy after being laid off by the Superhero League Council. Review from The Guardian: "The five-minute instalments are developed especially for the web with tantalising precision -- quickly drawing in the viewer with sharp cuts to new scenes, comic pauses and witty interjections between characters -- all linked up with more action than you'd think possible to squeeze into the tiny Youtube clips." Created by Jonathan Ash, Tim Howard, and David J Evans at Trusty Sidekick Productions. Ep 2 - 21 March Ep 3 - 18 April Best For Film: Short Film of the Week. As featured in The Guardin, South Wales Echo, Buzz Magazine, Radio Cardiff and more!

bbccrazydave.blogspot.com for a full list of blogs. I would go further and say they are complicit in the discrimination of Crazydave by the Welsh Assembly Government and Cardiff Councty Council and I sure would like to see Julie Morgan disbarred from entering the race to be the next assembly member for Cardiff North. So Mr. Edmunds you gonna sue me, or make pretend that these videos and blogs of mine don't exist, as you and your organisation have for oh so long. See the blog details to be put here when its finished.
