3''Devvo'' is a British Internet series by ''WebAnimation/SaladFingers'' creator Creator/DavidFirth which has also been shown on television. Shot in {{Mockumentary}}/DayInTheLife style, ''Devvo'' follows its titular character (real name: "Darren Devonshire"), an unemployed chav from Hull, as he buys alcohol, breaks into a car, tries to sell a bus ticket, and generally gets into trouble.
