Sometimes the most devastating depiction of the inherent tragedy of insatiable violence and isolation vampirism causes comes in the form of a 15 year old Welsh teenager whose dad hates her for being a girl. Also she has the highest on screen kill count in the entire show.
watching some videos of urbexers exploring the old school used for garside grange and the whole young dracula cast left their handprints on the walls before they wrapped filming :(
i can make out gerran (vlad), clare (ingrid), keith (the count), simon (renfield), and bella (george) out of the many names. excuse me while i go cry now :(((
Hi fellow Young Dracula fans, after going through the series again I am looking for videos I remember from watching the show as a kid as well as a few i find interesting that show the history of both the show and the fans. I thought it would be a good idea to share as many things I've found to the community just in case they don't know about some of these things or you know where they are. If i have missed something you think deserves to be on here please let me know.

What has been your favourite bit of Young Dracula?: MISSING
BBC - CBBC - Young Dracula: Vlad - Favourite Moment
the video link like most things on internet archive doesn't work. If this is a flash issue please let me know as Ruffle which hosted the majority of everything for Young Drac was flash based (RIP) so if i need to download an emulator give me a head up.
ADDENDUM: I've done some messing around with ruffle and I gained a copy of flash thanks to a friend and we have come to the conclusion that the files must not be supported anymore. I put this video into flash and it came up with the same error message and same with the games. (also ruffle is a flash emulator I've discovered so yeah I'm feeling less good about recovering stuff lost to flash)

Young Dracula: COMPLETE
young-dracula directory listing
if you want good quality version of the episode here's a nice link (don't tell anyone you got it from me) but also I do encourage you watching the YouTube rips as they have cbbc moments in them which to me is very nostalgic. As of writing this 28/06/26 young Dracula is currently on iPlayer in the uk but it will be leaving in 4 months .
I hope you all enjoy these!!! Also if i missed anything that you think should be on this list please let me know and if you have media that I'm looking for please get in contact. I would hate for the past of young Dracula to be lost for new viewers. I'm constantly updating this post so keep your eyes out. Would it be better to do this as a google doc, I want this to be for us fans so you input is important.
vlad was born late april 1996 in whitehaven btw... as adam giles-smith.... to sally elizabeth giles.... who lived in bransty when he was born....... btw...
The vampire of the day is Adam Jacobs from Being Human!
Adam was turned into a vampire as a teenager and is now eternally a teen. His parents were aware of him being a vampire and allowed him to feed off of them to prevent him from killing others. He was turned in the 80's.
In the present day of Being Human (2010's) he meet's the main cast as they help him after his father dies. Mitchell gives him some money to allow him to start a new life in a different town.
Adam has the same actor as Robin from Young Dracula! He is the main character of a spin off show from Being Human called Becoming Human which I have yet to watch but I plan too after finishing the 3rd season of the show.
