Puppy Love is currently airing on BBC4. Written by and starring Jo Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine, co-creators of the BAFTA nominated "Getting On", Puppy Love is a story of love, dogs and the love of dogs. Set around The Wirral-based dog training classes run by the formidable Nana V (Jo Scanlan) - "For All Your Dogging Needs".
Puppy Love follows two very different women - Nana V and Naomi Singh (Vicki Pepperdine) as they navigate their headstrong dogs, impossible teenage kids and disappointing husbands.
The BBC's Shane Allen says: "Puppy Love both celebrates and sends up the deeply held relationship between dogs and their owners. This is a real passion piece from Jo and Vicki who have yet again succeeded in creating a wonderful set of characters."
Millie Inbetween is a brand new comedy about families - especially complicated ones (are there any other kind?). It's like a UK version of Modern Family. It's about kids' real lives, and the stories are told from the perspective of shrewd, sparky 11 year old Millie played by Millie Innes (Maisie from Dani's House), who, along with her big sister Lauren, lives alternately with her separated Mum and Dad.
Millie Inbetween stars James Bachman, Hannah Jane Fox, Jaye Jacobs and Jeremy Edwards and is currently showing on CBBC.
CBBC has commissioned a second series of the hit children's comedy Dani's Castle, the 13 episode series is currently in production and is being filmed in Northern Ireland. In the new series Dani has moved on. She's a Hollywood star now, but Bogmoor Castle is still her home and she cares about the people who live there. And if she can't be there in person, she can at least be a font of wisdom on the webcam.
The show stars Dani Harmer, Shannon Flynn (Waterloo Road), Kieron Alleyne and Richard Wisker (Friday Download), who are struggling to run the dilapidated Bogmoor Castle that Dani inherited from her aunt in series one. Featuring guest stars such as Jedward, Dani's Castle has already established itself as essential viewing for young people, consistently rating in the Top 10 children's programmes each week. The new series will introduce new cast members Toby Murray as Dylan and Darragh Mortell as Jack.
"Dani's Castle has already established itself as a hit amongst viewers and I'm delighted that we'll be back for more," says executive producer Elaine Sperber. "Dani has a huge following on CBBC and in this new series we'll be taking the opportunity to introduce new talent, new characters and plenty of interesting guest stars."
Dani's Castle is due to transmit on CBBC in late 2013. The series is produced by The Foundation, a Zodiak Media company, for CBBC.
