Press

Not being 18 with an unhealthy interest in MySpace and Facebook, E4's Fonejacker was never going to sit comfortably at the top of my list of programmes to watch. Yet it surreptitiously made it onto my viewing list thanks to a very bloody viral.

Normally I either press 'delete' or simply move on, but something compelled me to click. There followed 30 minutes (an awfully long time to be spending in a virtual world) of eye-opening creativity and amusement. It is a very funny show, despite the sometimes rather cliched jokes, and Fonejacker's real magic is its ability to cleverly hack into people's ultimate desire for humour. It ticked all the right boxes without realising that it was doing so.
