Young Dracula

This is on of the only shows I watched as a child which I still rewatch to this day. It's funny, gothic, and campy in a similar way to the Addams family.

One of my early alternative style influences, I'm now 23 and it's one of my favourite vampire shows/films. I have bonded with so many people over the nostalgia of this series.

Great to show to a young alternative/ gothic person. Also a great introduction to the many versions of Dracula as it is so child friendly yet uses characters and names from the bram stokers Dracula .

Highly recommend to anyone young and old. It will be a great show to one day watch with my future children.

The Dracula family (Vlad, his dad The Count and his sister Ingrid) have To move from Transylvania to a normal small town in Britain. But how Does Vlad get on in his new life? Watch Young Dracula and find out.

This is a good children's show that children as well as teenagers will Really like as well mainly because it has character and actors there Age. The acting in this program I think is really quite good with People commenting on it on this chat board. I also think that the plot And story lines for this show are really well written and the acting Is really good. If you haven't seen this program yet then you can it on Thursdays at 5pm on BBC1.

started watching this program because my 10 year old daughter put it on,now its me that watches it and she just ignores it,they are showing repeats on BBC,the new series 4 should start in the autumn.Keith lee castle who plays the count is a really good actor and a dish/eye candy for the mums,and the children in it are excellent,a very good cast and story line.we have been past the locations were it was filmed in series 3 unfortunately not while they were there.hoping they will be showing more locations in series 4 as indicated on you tube.really hoping they will be putting the other 3 series on DVD really soon.i think the show would appeal to a mixed age group.

This show is a great example of a low-budget success. It has great writing and the delivery of lines by the actors is priceless. The story revolves around the son of Count Dracula. His name is Vlad. He has a sister(Ingrid) and they must integrate into human society with Vlad and Ingrid going to a regular school. Van Helsing is a teacher at the school and tries to expose the Count at all costs. Vlad does not want to become a vampire but his sister is deeply into her family heritage. Unfortunately for her tradition dictates Vlad will take over the family one day. Count Dracula is one of the main reasons to watch this show. To see him in his naturally evil surroundings and trying to raise his kids is brilliant. Not to mention parent/teacher meetings. This show is great fun and it goes to show you don't need a massive budget to pull off great television viewing.

The first three seasons are a campy and fun family-friendly comedy similar to American TV series' The Munsters and The Addams Family. The show is enjoyable if it is not taken seriously. There are silly plots and odd camera angles.

After a short hiatus, the show returned in season four with a much darker and serious approach. The cast of supporting characters got much more intriguing in the final two seasons. Which approach is better depends on one's personal preference, but both are well done.

One thing all five seasons have in common is the unfortunate sexist approach to female characters, especially Clare Thomas's Ingrid. She is constantly denigrated specifically for being "a girl." This might have started off as a running joke, but it became a primary theme of the show.
