He's a snot-nosed ginger-haired kid with no mates and a disrespectful attitude towards authority. Angry Kid spends his spare time tearing around on his Raleigh Chopper (wearing his very stylish Parka jacket) getting into all sorts of bother, verbally abusing his father and sister and generally causing havoc wherever he goes...

I remember downloading the very first Angry Kid shorts from Aardman Animation's website a few years ago and while they were great to watch on my computer (the episodes run for just over a minute each) I must admit to being a little sceptical how well the transition to DVD would be. Would anyone really want to sit through all the episodes more than once? And surely there wasn't enough material to make anyone want to rush out and buy a copy.

Thankfully I was wrong. This is a fantastic DVD. The main feature is just under 30 minutes long (if you play all 25 episodes). Tthere are also a number of short extras. These include a behind the scenes look at how Angry Kid was made; three foreign language episodes (which are not really foreign language episodes, just three episodes you've already seen with fake voice-overs made to appear as though they have been specially dubbed for an overseas audience); a director's cut of one of the episodes (although again not really a director's cut, more a spoof director's version of an episode); season two trailer (season two looks promising); and Angry Kid's school and police records.

Doctor Who fans will also be impressed that this disc reveals how to replicate an authentic Dalek voice. I won't spoil how... you'll have to buy the DVD to find out.

If you know anyone with a twelve year old (that's how old Angry Kid is supposed to be) then they'll soon confirm how true to life Angry Kid's little escapades really are.

Season One of Angry Kid is painfully funny. So go buy... Bumcake!
