  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

First series cast.[1]


Dani's House is a children's sitcom produced by The BBC, which started on 26 September 2008. Currently there are four series, and a fifth series is currently airing.

The show follows Dani, based on the actor who plays her, and her various friends. Her brother is Max, who is enemies with his sister and wants to rule the world and/or become a millionare. Max's best friend is Ben, who is not very intelligent, but ends up making up most of the plans anyway. Jack replaced Toby in series 2, who's a DJ. Midway through series 4, Ruby (Dani's personal fitness trainer) and her younger sister Maisy are introduced.

During the first series, there was Toby, who also wasn't very intelligent. For the first few series, there was also Sam, who was a lot smarter, in contrast to most of the characters, but most particularly Toby.

There are also two aliens who watch the show, called Coordinator Zang and Zark.


This show contains examples of:[]

  • Foreshadowing: In "Pen Pal", Jack's pen pal talks in a very fake Japanese accent. He's faking it - he's Cornish.
  • Left the Background Music On: In one episode, after someone says something shocking a "dun-dun-dunnn" is heard, which turns out to be Toby's ringtone.
  • My Name Is Not Durwood: The series 2 opener features a guest character named "Fleur Blair". Dani, not hearing her name correctly, repeatedly calls her "Fleur Blur".
  • Poster Gallery Bedroom: Max's room in illustrates that he's a young boy and thus has loads of posters of stuff boys his age would be interested in, such as Duel Masters and Doctor Who.
  • Promotion to Opening Titles: Ruby and Maisy midway through series 4.
  • Put on a Bus: Toby leave after the first series, and in the series 2 opener it's stated he has left for medical school (after he managed to pass the test after answering every question with the word "bum"). He does show up again in the Christmas Episode, though.
    • Sam midway through series 4.
  • This Is My Human: Coordinator Zang tries to keep a postman as a pet in one episode. It all comes apart when she lets him out of the spaceship.
  • Very Special Episode: In one episode of series 3, after becoming frustrated at having to rely on public transport and finding she can't afford to have proper driving lessons, Dani becomes addicted to a driving video game. This might be slightly tongue-in-cheek, but the cast play it straight throughout the episode, aside from allowing some moments of humour.
