Little Britain‘s Matt Lucas voices this darkly hilarious animation Welcome to Glaringly, in which a man visits an old friend in a sinister town with alarming consequences.

Written and directed by Grant Orchard and produced by Nicola Black, from Blackwatch Media, for Channel 4’s Mesh scheme.
 

 
I greatly admire Neil Coslett‘s award-winning animation Killing Time at Home from 2003, it’s a dark little tale that stays with you long after viewing. Originally produced by Nicola Black as part of the Mesh scheme, which Blackwatch Media ran for Channel 4 television in 2000 and 2007, producing 27 new digital animations that were shown on TV and at film festivals. It would be good to see Black kick-start a scheme like this again, and hopefully have Coslett make a follow-up to his superb wee film.
