Original Air Date-7 January 2008
Life is never fair to 11-year-old Alistair Fury. Sean, his Irish dad,is loving but lazy and his mother Celia too self-absorbed in her T.V. cookery show to give him any time. This leaves Alistair open to his bullying siblings, drippy Mel, who is in love with a different,unsuitable boy, each week and the body-proud but thick-headed Will. They refer to him as Alice,thus compelling him to get his own back with his gang of 'Revengers'. The family's insistence on an economy drive means that Alistair has to eat cheese on brains, but the perfect revenge opportunity arises when he gets verrucas on his fingers after touching warty music teacher Mrs. Muttley's piano and is only too happy to shake - contagious - hands with his persecutors.
