Irvine (Trainspotting) Welsh makes his directorial debut with this 2009 made-for-TV comedy mockumentary for ITV4. Andy 'The Arrows' Sampson (Jonathan Lewis Owen) is a Welsh darts superstar, whose career takes a sudden tumble after he suffers a heart attack. With his confidence at rock bottom, he just cannot hit the doubles and he sinks into a deep pit of depression. How can he drag himself back to the top? Andy thinks that the answer lies in a very strange, aromatic and disgusting cure.

If you put four dwarfs in a room with enough opium and alcohol, it's bound to end in tears...
In 1935, MGM studios embarked on a movie adaptation of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The production called for the casting of many dwarfs to play the Munchkins of the mythical Land of Oz, and the studio began recruiting 'small persons' from all over the world.
During production, rumors spread around Hollywood of wild Munchkin sex orgies, drunken behavior and general dwarf debauchery. More sinisterly, a Munchkin is said to have committed suicide by hanging himself on the set during filming--what appears to be a small human body is clearly visible hanging from a tree in the Tin Man scene. It is a claim that has passed into Hollywood legend.
Set in a hotel room in Culver City, California, Babylon Heights is Irvine Welsh and Dean Cavanagh's scabrous and hilarious imaging of what could, very possibly, have led to the dwarf suicide.
