The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury is the name of a series of children's books, written by Jamie Rix, and that of the TV series based on them. The book series was originally entitled The War Diaries of Alistair Fury, but new releases of the books have been renamed to The Revenge Files in order to match the TV series' title.
There are six books in the series and each is also available in Audiobook format.
The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury, airs on BBC One and the CBBC Channel. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation also aired it on ABC1. It follows 11-year-old Alistair Fury (Jonathan Mason) who starts a club called The Revengers, which he operates through his [1] website. Through this club, he attempts to get his own back on his annoying family, and the programme charts his revenges against them, as well as others. His family consist of his mother Celia (Susannah Doyle), his father Sean (Brendan Dempsey), his older brother William (Carlton Dickinson) and eldest sibling Melanie (Natalie Kemp). Also appearing is Alistair's grandmother, Constance (Kate Binchy). He is assisted in his "Revenges" by two friends, Aaron Pryce and Ralph Ming (Alex Smith). In early 2013 the BBC confirmed that the show had not been renewed for a second series.
The opening title sequence is based on Bob Dylan's video for Subterranean Homesick Blues. Each opening title sequence has differences in it from the others.
She thinks she is a great cook but really she is not.
