Darkside Day

Darkside Day is a National Holiday in the UK that celebrates the release of the DVD Aardman's Darkside from 2006. It is celebrated on the 18th of September every year (the day of the DVD's release) and encourages fans of the DVD to celebrate the darker side of Aardman and unleash what they love most about the DVD.
A TV spot will air, animated by Aardman themselves, which will feature the characters from the DVD against the brick wall backdrop used in Angry Kid shorts like 'Chips' and 'Catapult'. It features Angry Kid ranting about how Wallace and Gromit got all the attention. Big Jeff joins in, stating he would never be a good babysitter if he wasn't recognised enough (he is shown from the waist up in this commercial). Horse, Indian and Cowboy are then shown agreeing, to which the scene zooms out to reveal the main characters from Angry Kid, Big Jeff, Rex The Runt and A Town Called Panic loudly complaining over each other that they want a day just for their DVD. The voice of Angry Kid's dad then says, "Okay, OKAY! All right, we'll have a national day just for this DVD."
Words appear in the font used in the menus of the DVD stating: 'Happy Darkside Day' while Burial's 'Wounder' plays in the background.
5 Tips To Celebrate Darkside Day
1	Watch Aardman's Darkside on DVD. You can view the shorts separately, or as part of the 80 minute mix.
2	As you watch the DVD, watch for any signs of adult content in the shows, including rude behaviour, child abuse, inaccurate portrayals, bad parenting and paedophilia.
3	Write extra scenes for A Town Called Panic, specifically 'Steven & Janine Go On Holiday', which I think will see Horse telling Cowboy and Indian that he may give them a nice chocolate mud cake as a reward for doing lots of hard work for Steven and Janine while they're on holiday.
4	Pay attention to screen cut speed for each of the shows and their episodes - for example, Angry Kids' shorts, specifically ones set at home or in the car, were all shot in one continuous take.
5	Write a letter to Aardman about the inspiration behind the animations on the DVD, and thanking them for their dub of A Town Called Panic.
