Angry Kid Specials

A 20-minute special, broadcast on BBC Three at 7:30 PM on Christmas Eve, 2004. It is also available to watch on the Atom Films website in 7 parts. The plot focuses on Angry Kid, who is given the task to write a 10-page essay for his teacher on who he really thinks he is. His dad and his friend Speccy are of no help, but later he gets the aid of Lil Sis, who wants all of his possessions in return for writing the essay, to which he reluctantly agrees. The special ends with Angry Kid reading out the essay written by Lil Sis about what he really is before going out to workout in the school gym.

Angry Kid raps in a music video called "Handbags," telling the story of how the kids (which, oddly, look exactly like him) playing football also use handbags.

Angry Kid and the other characters sing in a music video called "Gridlock," telling the story of how the kids were stuck in a traffic jam and everyone was fighting with each other. It was part of Aardman's Live Earth series.

A straight-to-DVD episode featured on Aardman's Dark Side DVD. Angry Kid is running in the forest, where he finds a bandaged-up version of himself as a woman. Angry Kid soon realizes that it's just a nightmare. Lil' Sis comes into his bedroom to ask if he's all right, but then she splits in two before him, which turns out to be yet another nightmare. He wakes up and Speccy is beside him, talking about maths and triangles. Angry Kid calls his nightmare crap, and Speccy dryly retorts that the real nightmare is when he wakes up. Angry Kid then realizes that he's at school wearing a dress. Angry Kid is promptly told off before Speccy keeps saying, "There's no place like home" 3 times (a reference to The Wizard of Oz). Angry Kid then hits Speccy with a shoe, and the nightmares end.
