Dani's House - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Pirates
As Dani cannot go out with her friends Toby and Sam, the trio end up spending most of their time in Dani's house in her hip den hangout. Dani and her pals assume that their antics are being broadcast to the world and beyond. In fact, their zany activities are being closely observed from on high by a pair of aliens, Zarg and Zark, who are hooked on Dani's show, and who bear an uncanny resemblance to Dani and Toby. Dani faces a dilemma - she has broken her mum's favourite vase and, as she has already 'borrowed' money from Max, she is in desperate need of cash to sort out the problem. The solution might just be buried underneath the house.
Best Friends
Sam and Toby go to a party without Dani and get on surprisingly well. But is three now a crowd? And how will Max and Ben get their confiscated water pistols back from Dani?
Luck
Dani desperately needs to find her lucky socks before her audition. Max, however, has no such bad luck - he is on a competition-winning streak.
Killer Party
Dani is convinced that Toby and Sam are planning to assassinate her.
Sleepover
Sam is on a sleepover at Dani's so she can revise for an important exam in peace - unfortunately this doesn't help Dani with her preparations for her Grease auditions. And with Ben on sleepover to redress the girl/boy balance, everyone is getting restless, and nobody is getting much sleep. Meanwhile, all of the action is being observed from on high by the aliens from outer space...
The Ghost Mutterer
Due to Dani's 'Halloween humbug-ness', she refuses to take the boys trick-or-treating, so the gang try tricking her into becoming a Halloween believer. Who are they going to call - Ghostbusters?
Amnesia
Toby and Dani are set to enter the Utterly Go Dancing heats, but when Dani takes a fall, she is left unable to remember any of the moves... or anything, for that matter, even her own name. Max is especially worried - how will he get his favourite CD back if Dani cannot remember the combination to the safe she locked it in?
Snakes
Toby's pet-sitting service comes under threat when his snake escapes in Dani's house. With Dani's phobia of snakes and Max desperate to fund a record deal for Ben, there is enough screaming in the house to wake an irritable and jet-lagged Aunt Sheila. Featuring a guest appearance from Richard Blackwood as the snake's owner, who may be able to help Ben in his quest for stardom.
Toby No-Mates
Dani is determined to prove to Toby that girls can find mates for guys - even if she has to be the guy herself. Meanwhile, the tables are turned with Ben finally whooping Max at computer games, leaving Max feeling like the bumbling loser. With the girls being far too obsessed with Orlando Bloom for him to hang out with them 24/7, Toby eventually finds a mate in the most unexpected place.
It's Not Easy Being Green
Sam is doing a green school project and dares Dani and Toby to cut their carbon footprint. Can Toby survive without all his electronic gizmos? Max and Ben offer to offset some of his carbon as their latest moneymaking scheme. Do they know what they are letting themselves in for?
Celebrity
Dani's old acting friend Mo White visits and turns out to be super-famous, leaving Toby and Sam speechless and starstruck, much to Dani's annoyance. Max and Ben, meanwhile, have a cunning plan to use Mo to help them get rich quick, but their scheme lands them in mega-trouble.
Snowed In
Dani and Max are snowed in alone! At each other's throats at the best of times, how will they possibly survive the claustrophobia of having to spend a whole day in each other's company? Also, there's no food and no heating. Who will trudge through the snow first to save the two from themselves - Sam, Toby or a very lost Ben?
House for Sale
The friends discover to their horror that Dani's house is up for sale - at least if Max and his greedy mentor, estate agent Edgar Molloy, have anything to do with it. Can Dani scupper their plans or is this the end for Dani and her friends?
Recently Updated Shows
The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.
As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.
Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
Atomic
Atomic is a dynamic and entertaining action-fuelled adventure. When Max and Mohammed, two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa, they face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bombgetting into the wrong hands.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
