The hour-long production comes off the back of a campaign by project researcher Jeff O'Reilly to get the substance banned as a legal high.

Gareth David Lloyd from Torchwood and Darren Evans from My Big Fat Diary both star in the drama.

Those backing the project, including police and local authorities, say it 'pulls no punches' in its drive to raise awareness of substance misuse.
