Fonejacker Review

Overall Rating

The show features 'The Fonejacker', a masked prank caller(played by actor Kayvan Novak) who speaks to unsuspecting members of the public under various guises, in an attempt to confuse or wind-up the call recipient. The audio is accompanied by on-screen imagery, consisting of pictures of people with their mouths moving in a similar style to Monty Python animations, or by undercover filming in which the Fonejacker is in a street calling a company nearby, usually from inside a public phone booth or from a rickshaw. Occasionally actors are used; examples include a sketch where a man is robbing a bank, or one where men in hazmat suits are removing a chicken from a bank vault.

The Mouse is a bit rubbish.

The show began as a pilot for Comedy Lab, a Channel 4 show that showcases new comic talent, in 2006. After much popularity, it was given a six-part series in October 2006 which was initially intended for broadcast on E4 in April in the following year. It was also given a Christmas special that was broadcast on December 25, 2006 entitled Fonejacker's Christmas Message which was a five-minute short version of the pilot. The end of the show displayed Fonejacker: Coming April 2007 - Don't Pick Up The Phone.
