The Nether Regions

The Nether Regions is a stop motion short film directed by Maria Lee and produced by WONKY Films. The short film features the booming voice of Brian Blessed as the Devil…

Welcome to the Nether Regions; or by its official title “Hell – The Nether Regional Branch”. Fed up with endless paperwork? … Dogged by red tape at every turn?? Boo hoo! Snap out of it and spare a thought for those truly unfortunate. Wielding untold power at the helm of a vast and mighty realm may sound glamorous but no one tells you about the sleepless nights and the unrelenting stress.Well, that’s the fate which the Devil must stoically deal with on an eternal basis.There’s just no escape from bureaucracy …even in Hell.

You can also get an official Nether Regions app and have a go at becoming a therapeutic touch practitioner.
