History Series / YoungDracula

* LineOfSightName: When Robin pretending to be a vampire and being questioned by the Westenras, he is asked the name of his parents. Glancing around, his eye falls upon a certain kitchen implement and he says his father is "Count Spatula".

--->'''Ingrid''': [[{{Hamlet}} Something is rotten in the state of]] vampiredom...

--->'''Renfield''': [[CrowningMomentOfFunny You did say that about the porcupine, master.]]

** 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. [[spoiler: 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.]]

* EvilIsSexy: Boris is a typical homely and shy nerd before his transformation, after which he becomes a drop-dead gorgeous heart-throb who is [[spoiler: highly feral and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity insane]] ]].

* EvilGloating: Borris does this after his transformation into a vampire, "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" included.

* FinaleCredits :The credits in the final episode The darkest hour has both Vlad and Talitha flies into the night as bats to the Himalayas

* TheHunter: Eric van Helsing. [[spoiler: Also Jonno in series 2, and later Kurt, from the Slayers Guild tactical division]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In episode 3x03 when Vlad's tired of telepathy training, he's given a walky talky for practise and sarcastically says "Whisky Tango Foxtrot" (WTF). For a children's show on the BBC, fairly risky.

* HollywoodNerd: Borris, a solid Type 1. (Until his 16th birthday, that is...)

* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Born vampires age normally until they are 16. From the looks of the Count, and Krone and Attlia, it can be assumed that they do age after this, but at a much slower rate.

--->'''Count Dracula''': They never ''want'' to donate, you fool. That's we have ''fangs''.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Boris was originally TheComicallySerious, a LovableCoward and TheCutie. Now he has become a megalomaniac HandsomeDevil.

** In "Blood Sport", The Count says "The dead travel fast" after demonstrating SuperSpeed. This is a line from ''Literature/{{Dracula}}.

** Ingrid. Ingrid Pitt played a lot of cold-hearted vamps in HammerHorror movies.

* StalkerWithACrush: The count attempts to seduce Miss McCauley by acting as a "secret admirer". Unfortunately, he [[TooDumbToLive leaves the delivery work to Renfield]], with predictable results:
---> '''Miss McCauley''': Someone at this school has launched a hate campaign against me.

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.

As of Season Three, the setting has changed somewhat. Clan Dracula has been forced to hide from the slayers in a school while 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[[labelnote:*]] [[FirstEpisodeSpoiler really a human with slayer training]][[/labelnote]] who Vlad soon develops [[InterspeciesRomance a crush on]].

Season Four sees [[spoiler: Vlad's enforced, uneasy peace between vampires and slayers threatened from all sides, Vlad is forced into an ArrangedMarriage, A new vampire Malik is plotting something, and Erin is having doubts about her and Vlad's relationship.]]

* TheNastyParty: The Hunt Ball. At least, it's meant to be if you happen to be a Breather and find yourself with an invitation...

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids? Series 3 and 4 are much darker than the previous two series.

* DracoInLeatherPants: The Count. Literally.
