David Walliams has upset a fan and he certainly knows about it
It’s a tough life for David Walliams, successful author of a number of children’s books among other things.
Being so used to dishing out his opinions on XFactor it must have been hard for him to be on the receiving end of some very harsh words from a rather upset eleven year old.
The reason for these harsh words was BBC’s airing of one of David Walliams books ‘Billionaire boy’ on New Year’s Day.
So upset this little eleven year old was with the production, they took the time and effort to pen a ferocious letter of scathing remarks until Mr Walliams was left in no doubt of this little persons’ dissatisfaction with the portrayl.
The list of complaints included bad acting, changed plot details and changed names.
Well really.

"To David Walliams,
"This letter is NOT fan mail. Yes, it has been sent to the fan mail address but it is a COMPLAINT.
"Firstly, I have read all of your books and have loved all of them, especially Ratburger. I also really enjoyed Billionaire Boy, which is the subject of this COMPLAINT.
"I had anticipated the arrival of it on the screens, but after I watched it I was highly disappointed. First off, the acting was awful except for the adults. I could've done better and I'm eleven, nearly twelve.
"Secondly, some names were changed for no reason whatsover, such as Dave Grubb, as changed into George Grubb, and Miss Spite was changed to Miss Spike or Strict or something.
"Thirdly, Joe's character traits were completely changed from spoiled brat to sad boy.
"Fourthly, it got confusing and a bit boring, like when Miss Spike (?) calls Bob 'Gareth' or something, and how Bob immediately knew that Joe paid the Grubbs.
"Fifthly and finally (finally), the storyline was unrecognisable. What about Lisa? She didn't exist, and that crumples the entire story.
"I hope you take into account this COMPLAINT and did not throw it away after you read COMPLAINT.
"Last of all, I know that most of this probably wasn't your fault, as the entire thing may have been changes by the scriptwriters and people. If so, please give this letter to them."
