If you're from Teesside and are familiar with Parmos chances are you'll have been sent a link to Teesside Tin Tin, the dubbed version of the Herge cartoon put on video sharing website YouTube, by local lads Andy and Nick.

But what made the wedding-video-makers-by-day create a foul language cartoon with so many 'in jokes'?

Who started Teesside Tin Tin?

Andy: We both started it together, about three months ago. It started as a laugh between our mates, someone saw it and it went from there.

Nick: At first we started doing the G force cartoons, we'd send it to each other, we all found it funny.

But eventually we ran out of G force cartoons and because I had a Tin Tin box set, we decided to use that!

Did you expect it to be the success it is?

Nick: All the Tin Tins combined now have over 300,000 views.
We didn't expect it to take off, it was just a joke amongst friends!

How did you manage to spread it?

Andy: What I did was I put it on a football message board, and everyone kind of saw it from there... but even I've had emails from friends in America saying "check this out", and it's funny because I made it.

Ok, well who's the brains and who's the talent?

Nick: I do the voice for Tin Tin, but there's a few others who do the voices for the old men in it... We're both the editors, and I'm the talent!

Andy: We try and keep it Teesside orientated, mentioning Borough Road and Parmos.

Nick: We'll do a little bit of writing, but mostly it's ad-libbed.

You seem really nice, so how on Earth did you manage to come up with the things Tin Tin says?

Andy: We're quite pleasant guys, but sometimes after Nick's done his lines he winces at what he's said.

Nick: When we edit it, and it comes out of Tin Tin's mouth, it seems watered down.

Andy: The swearing makes it what it is!

So where do you go from now?

Andy: We're starting up a cartoon website based on Teesside accents... Button Moon, Trapdoor, and other non-mainstream cartoons. We want to keep it obscure.

Nick: Tin Tin will advertise that site for us on YouTube when it's up and running!
