Young Dracula is a British children's television series on CBBC, loosely based on the children's book by Michael Lawrence. It was directed by Joss Agnew. The first series was broadcast in 2006, and the second series, which started in late 2007, concluded in early 2008. After being cancelled and then uncancelled, the third series started in late 2011. The fourth season began on the 29th October 2012, and the fifth in January 2014.In the beginning, all 12-year-old Vlad wants is an ordinary life, and he's hoping that his family's move to Wales might be just the thing to provide it. Regrettably, the family is moving from Transylvania, where they've been chased out by an angry mob, and the family name is Dracula, so the chances of a normal adolescence in the Welsh 'burbs are slim.Vlad's dad, the Count, wants him to hunt "breathers" (that is, humans) with more enthusiasm and to take over the family business. Mum has run off with a werewolf and the family servant eats cockroaches. Vlad's philosophy, however, is "more blending, less biting". His older sister Ingrid, by contrast, wants to be a cruel and despotic vampire queen, but is constantly ignored by the Count (when he isn't belittling her).Down the road in the village, young Robin Branagh dreams of becoming a vampire and avoiding his family's camping holidays. Teaching at the local school is woodwork teacher and would-be vampire hunter Eric van Helsing, whose son Jonathan ("Jono") is just as embarrassed by his father as Vlad is by his.As of Season Three, the setting has changed somewhat. After the events of the previous series, and the castle burning down, the Dracula clan have been forced to relocated and to hide from the slayers in a school. Vlad learns how to master his powers from a private tutor, Bertrand. They are soon joined by their half-brother Wolfie and Erin, a young half-fang* really a human with slayer training who Vlad soon develops a crush on, whilst Ingrid continues in her thwarted quest for world domination.Season Four sees Vlad's enforced, uneasy peace between vampires and slayers threatened from all sides. Vlad is forced into an Arranged Marriage, a new vampire Malik is plotting something, and Erin is having doubts about her and Vlad's relationship. Skeletons fall out of the faily cupboard and it all gets very Shakespearean.Season Five continues the trend of getting Darker and Edgier, with revelations left right and centre, and the introduction of Wifi to the Vampire world.Has a character sheet which is desperately in need of Wiki Magic. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling | |
| Young Dracula / int_130436b9 | comment |
Annoying Younger Sibling: Vlad fits the trope for Ingrid, just as she, though older, covers the "annoying" bit for him: he doesn't want to be a vampire but is still favoured by his father and she does want to be one but is ignored. Olga, although she is a cousin rather than a sibling of theirs, likewise fits the trope for Ingrid because of her competitive streak. Vlad's friend Robin Branagh, due to his semi-gothic persona and obsession with vampires is something of an annoyance to his elder siblings Ian and Paul (and vice versa) and although his sister Chloe is younger, her brothers tend to fit this trope for her since she is generally more mature and academically bright. Wolfie, on the other hand, seems to get along fine with his older half-siblings, preferring to annoy Renfield. | |

Total Eclipse of the Plot | |
| Young Dracula / int_1dab5333 | comment |
Total Eclipse of the Plot: Shortly after Ingrid becomes a full vampire and is no longer able to go out in sunlight, there is an eclipse that lasts long enough for her to go out to the movies with her boyfriend and make it back home safely. The eclipse ended while Ingrid was still in the movies. She probably just hung around in the shadows outside until it got dark before she went home. | |

Only Sane Man: Chloe shows these tendencies at times. Within their family, both Ingrid and Vlad could also count as this at times. Chloe eventually stops hanging out with them on the basis that strange and dangerous things keep happening when they're around. That's a degree of sense few fictional characters ever demonstrate.

Ungrateful Bastard: Ingrid again. She actually acknowledges that Erin saved her life - but only so that Vlad will think she has a reason to help save her in return. All the while, she's planning to have Erin killed. Then she manages to take it even further in a later episode - she talks to Vlad in an attempt to distract him while one of her new minions stakes him from behind. Her chosen topic? Thanking Vlad for saving her life in the previous episode - she even says that she hopes for a chance to return the favour! The Count is this way to Erin as well, given that she saved him at one point too. It's even lampshaded. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar: In episode 3x03 when Vlad's tired of telepathy training, he's given a walky talky for practice and sarcastically says "Whisky Tango Foxtrot" (WTF). For a children's show on the BBC, fairly risky. When the Count tries to get Vlad to practise his telepathy: When the Count tells Renfield his plan to be Miss McCauley's secret admirer. At the end of season three, Vlad challenges Sethius to a game to see "who has the bigger fireballs." | |

Arrowgram | |
| Young Dracula / int_5b07519b | comment |
Arrowgram: The Count does this, tying a note proclaiming a blood fued to a flaming arrow and shooting it at the Branaghs. However, the burn damage the note sustains causes half the message to be unreadable and Graham Branagh thinks it's a note asking him to examine Dracula's drains. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Vlad's status as the Chosen One. Revealed halfway through series 2, it wasn't really mentioned much. Come series 3, it's been mentioned every single episode, and was used in the advertisements for the new series as well. At this point, it's clear it's not considered a spoiler any more. | |

The Masquerade: In theory, The Count and his family are supposed to live under one and keep a low profile after the incident with the angry mob in Transylvania, but The Count does almost nothing to enforce this. He doesn't even try to pretend he's anything less than a supernatural menace around humans. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be a problem, as he can do things such as send an burning Arrowgram to a hated enemy without them so much as batting an eye at it. | |

White Sheep | |
| Young Dracula / int_7b454a57 | comment |
White Sheep: Vlad is an example of trying to fit in the evil family. The issue is that vampire kids have a Dangerous 16th Birthday or the like and after that, go through Transhuman Treachery. Vlad wants to avoid this. Interestingly, his Fille Fatale sister Ingrid actually is evilish and she's the more rebellious of the two. However, this being a vampire family, that means that she's actually being what the family wants. Given that Season 3 shows that Vlad's evil self would easily kill both Ingrid and the Count within a day, they may learn to be more accepting of the nicer Vlad. | |

CompulsorySchoolAge | |
| Young Dracula / int_8bb8b45d | comment |
Compulsory School Age: Lampshaded. The Count has no intention of sending either Vlad or Ingrid to school. That is, until the Headmistress of the school comes by, pointing out he will be taken to court if he doesn't place them in the school. We all know that the courts are the modern equivalent of an angry peasant mob, after all. School isn't compulsory in the UK, anyway. No, but education is. If you don't inform the local council of your home-schooling plans in detail, you can be arrested, which leads us back to the issue in the beginning. Subverted with Season 3, which sees the Count forcing Ingrid to go back to school so he doesn't have to see her all day - despite her being twenty. | |

Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness | |
| Young Dracula / int_97bc51a8 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Vampire Friendliness: Vampires become such by merging with evil mirror-world versions of themselves at age sixteen, and how evil they turn depends on their strength of will. Ingrid, for example, is downright bloodthirsty, manipulating and evil before she changes, but when her mirror-self suggests she kill her boyfriend she flees from it. When she does merge, she does it of her own will and overcomes the urges associated with it. Compare with Boris, who is weaker willed. Boris becomes completely psychotic from the merge. Vampires can subsist on animals, but most would prefer not to. Vlad, as the Chosen One doesn't have an evil reflection... he has a thousand. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Young Dracula / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Arguably the Count. He shows blatant favoritism for Vlad over Ingrid, even though Ingrid is the one who acts the way he keeps pressuring Vlad to act. It could be argued that he's also abusive to Vlad based on his inability to accept that Vlad isn't a younger copy of himself, but it's much less blatant than his abuse of Ingrid. Renfield's father is another example. It's made quite clear that he hates his son, and he was even willing to let the Draculas drink his blood so that Renfield Sr. could become immortal. Their mother isn't much of a prize either - just in her series three appearance, she manipulates and lies to Vlad to become his regent for fame, totally ignores Ingrid, and forgets about and leaves her youngest son behind, although arguably she left him behind on purpose like she tried to do in Series 2. Van Helsing is arguablly worse than the count. It is clear in season one that Johnno doesn't want to be a slayer but he just keeps forcing him into it and trying to make him feel like he is nothing if he doesn't become a slayer. Mina Van Helsing has moments of this. Like when she tricked Johnno into thinking Malik really had bitten him and he was turning into a vampire by swapping his blood for vampire blood to test it. Her plan to get Johnno to stop helping Vlad luckily backfired. | |

| Young Dracula / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: In "Faustian Slip" the Count is laughing uproariously as he reads a copy of Twilight. More as an affectionate poke than it seems, though, since he still expresses interest in reading the sequel. Although, he could just be interested in reading it to continue his amusement. | |

| Young Dracula / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
To be fair, though, Ivan and Ingrid are both shown to be able to overcome the evil and bloodlust aspects of their personalities. But Ivan reverts to his evil self after smelling the blood of a vampire slayer and Ingrid was pretty evil to begin with. Also, re: Vlad not just avoiding the mirror/room, it is implied in one episode (series two, episode 7, Insomnia for those interested) that his reflection may already be 'evil', or at least that he can't escape the change, something which is confirmed as of Blood Thief | |

Monster Misogyny: Averted. We only really see the Count prey on older females - such as the Headmistress of Stokley Grammar, Mrs Branagh, and Mina Van Helsing. The youngest person he ever preys on is Robin Branagh, and that was in an attempt to try to get Vlad to use his vampire powers. | |

Horrible Judge of Character | |
| Young Dracula / int_c5385ad9 | comment |
Horrible Judge of Character: In the series two episode Bad Reflection, Vlad's cousin Boris grows into a full vampire and undergoes a Face–Heel Turn. Vlad is completely oblivious to this, even after an Evil Monologue or two. Of course, he has his reasons, since he's very worried about turning evil when he becomes a full vampire, and desperately wanted to believe that his friend had gone through the transformation without any personality change, so it could have been more of a Willing Suspension of Disbelief on his part. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Young Dracula / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: The second series has shades of this, what with multiple vampires actually getting slain, including one who had been a recurring sympathetic character, Vlad being revealed to the The Chosen One, and the series ending on what was probably meant to be a dramatic cliffhanger. Series three is continuing down this route. The fourth season is by far the darkest yet. | |

Dangerous 16th Birthday | |
| Young Dracula / int_d9764d48 | comment |
Dangerous 16th Birthday: Those born vampires gain their full powers at age sixteen. Powers start semi-developing before that point, but on a vampire's sixteenth birthday they are locked in a room with the family's blood mirror, where they meet their reflection, which is a pure evil version of themselves, and also an independent entity. A merge is required for the vampire to gain its full powers. "Only the most powerful" of the two personalities is allowed to continue after the merge, which means that the evil personality in the mirror will take over if the individual is not strong-willed enough. This is why Cousin Boris, who lost to his reflection, comes out of the room completely different, whereas Ingrid remains the same. If you try to run away, the reflection breaks through the mirror and chases after you. Which makes you wonder why the protagonist, Vlad, who just wants to be normal), just doesn't look in the mirror or even enter the room. To be fair, though, Ivan and Ingrid are both shown to be able to overcome the evil and bloodlust aspects of their personalities. But Ivan reverts to his evil self after smelling the blood of a vampire slayer and Ingrid was pretty evil to begin with. Also, re: Vlad not just avoiding the mirror/room, it is implied in one episode (series two, episode 7, Insomnia for those interested) that his reflection may already be 'evil', or at least that he can't escape the change, something which is confirmed as of Blood Thief | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Young Dracula / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Erin's 'friend' Becky is attracted to evil Vlad, eagerly accepting his invitation for a quick bite for lunch. Also arguably Erin for Vlad; though he isn't bad, he is a vampire and thus naturally dark... Both played straight and subverted with Ingrid. She had a crush on Will who was if not strictly speaking bad a rebel and nonconformist (for example he appreciates her giving him rats as a present). However she outright laughs at Malik, criticising him for being a caricature of a bad boy, desperate to be thought of as edgy and dark. | |

I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Vlad has touches of this at times, as he doesn't want to become a vampire as family tradition dictates. To be fair, most of his anger does seem to be more directed at his mum. Ingrid also suffers this, though it is mostly because the Count largely ignores her. Vlad himself later fears that Erin will hate him if he turns her into a vampire, even to save her life. He does so anyway, and she swears to never forgive him. | |
