Talking to strangers on the phone is already awkward enough. But when you're suddenly forced to start every new sentence you say to them with a different letter of the alphabet, everything reaches a whole new level of cringe.

This is the mission Daniel Radcliffe is tasked with during the BBC Radio 1 prank phone call game above. His target? A toy store in Sheffield, UK.

He doesn't quite make it through the whole alphabet in the end, but you really can't fault his effort.
