Dani is a 17-year-old actress continually left in charge of her annoying younger brother Max, his none-too-bright sidekick Ben and their youngest sibling, 'the baby from hell'.

As she can't go out with her friends, Toby and Sam, the trio of girls end up spending most of their time in Dani's house in her hip den hang-out. With so much time on her hands the imaginative actress conjures up a variety of comic situations and locations for the trio.

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.

Our Review: Created especially for After You've Gone star Dani Harmer, this lively and slightly surreal series has featured guest appearances from the likes of Phil Cornwell and Shaun Williamson.

It is billed as 'a fast, furious and very funny contemporary comedy for the big kid in all of us'. Series one certainly lived up to the claim of having a fast pace, but whether it was funny or not was very much down to personal taste (basically we're too old to judge it fairly).

CBBC are obviously happy: they've ordered two more series, with 13 episodes in each... so fans have at least another 26 new episodes to look forward to over the next couple of years.
