New ITV series to showcase local actors Actors from all corners of the county have taken part in a new ITV series which kicks off tonight (Thursday).

In the Name of The Children' is produced by Curlyman productions and 95% of the cast are from the county.

Three Milford Haven siblings also star in the drama.

Michael Malone, 17, is currently completing an ND in performing arts at the Pembrokeshire College, and sister Jenny, 13, is a pupil at Milford Haven School and is also a member of the Torch Theatre youth drama group.

Eight-years-old Matthew is the youngest of the siblings and is a pupil at Milford Haven Junior School.

Matthew said: In this film I was in exploring caves that were really dark and wet and in the film I wasn't supposed to be there, it was great being told to be naughty.' Filmed almost entirely in Pembrokeshire, the story is set in the mythical south Wales town of Milbroke.

The story follows ex-infantry soldier, played by local Tesco worker Paul Harries, now suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and left on the social scrapheap.

You can catch the series on ITV1 at 11.05pm every Thursday for the next three weeks.
