ITV1’s new Sunday night satirical series Headcases, which aired for the first time last night, turned to Manchester’s Red Vision for the computer graphics and animation of the new series.

Headcases intends to take a sideways look at the lives of ‘celebs’ – from Brand Beckham (him and her) to Madonna and Helen Mirren, the series promises to send up wherever possible. Other celebs promised include Amy Winehouse,  Heather Mills McCartney and George Bush in the only show on TV claims ITV that celebs are desperate not appear on.

Henry Naylor, creator and director of Headcases, said: "It’s very, very funny and has real bite. There's nothing like it on television anywhere in the world which is a real tribute to the skill of the team.

“We created more than 60 celebrity alter egos for the series, each existing in a world of visually stunning digital locations and situations.

“This gives the show endless opportunities to fondly send up celebrities and politicians alike and I’m sure Headcases will become the scourge of the great and good.”
