TV Moments of 2011: Angry Boys



In truth, Angry Boys probably could've been 6 episodes instead of 12, seeing as not much happened in the middle and if we're being really honest the Jen Okazaki and Blake Oldfield characters weren't ever that great to begin with - but when Angry Boys concentrated on the stories of the Sims family and one hit wonder S.mouse it was as funny as anything from Chris Lilley's previous hit Summer Heights High.

The decision to touch on Alzheimer's was a brave one and rewarded with some touching moments that you rarely see in sitcoms, giving dignity to Gran yet still finding humour in a tragic situation was reminiscent of Blackadder goes Forth at times.
