    Synopsis:
    Taking the art of the prank call to a whole new level, Fonejacker is at the forefront of brash, cutting edge comedy with a cult following to match. Spending his time winding up innocent folk with hoaxes which often border on the surreal and ridiculous, the DVD features a raft of unseen extras such as the Fonejacker Christmas Special, commentaries, unseen footage, out-takes and behind the scenes documentary and The Fonejacker Series 1 Doovdé signing at Virgin Piccadilly.

    Matching superb concepts with stylish execution, the show is based around a masked caller who goads unsuspecting members of the public under various guises often irritating and confusing the person on the other end of the line. These sketches are accompanied by images and short animations reminiscent of Monty Python, or undercover filming in which the Fonejacker is seen in a street calling a company nearby either from inside a public phone box or from his rickshaw.

    Under the guise of many different aliases - Terry Tibbs a dodgy car salesman who's always trying to get a bargain; Mr Doovdé who talks in bewildering abbreviations; George Agbgdgwngo, an amiable chap who'll try all sorts of ludicrous scams to obtain your bank account details; Stanley a sweet schoolboy whose misguided requests to strangers are anything but innocent and Fat Gerbil a Glawegian housepet who has let himself go a bit and needs a gym to get back in shape.
