Having lived in Transylvania, they move to Stokely, a small town in Wales after various incidents involving angry peasant mobs.

It was filmed in various locations around Wales, including Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf, Caerphilly Castle, Tretower Court and parts of Llantrisant.

This series was filmed in Liverpool during 2011, in various locations including the disused Margaret Bevan School, Croxteth Hall and Stanley Docks.

An additional series, the Young Dracula Files, began broadcasting on 24 October 2012, in which the main characters tell their stories of the past.

Series 1 After their father bit too many residents in their own Transylvania, Vladimir and Ingrid Dracula were compelled to move to Britain.

Keeping his family's secret will be a full-time job though, what with a bloodsucking father, a talking wolf, a servant who smells like mouse droppings, and a vampire sister.

Series 2 Count Dracula is aware that slayers exist in Stokely as a result of the events at the Hunt Ball.

The appearance of Ivan, the Count's American brother, and Boris and Olga, Vlad and Ingrid's relatives, complicates matters further.

Since then, the Count and Vlad have escaped, and while Ingrid also makes a comeback, they decide to buy a school to hide from the slayers and vampires that are pursuing them.

The Count, Renfield, and Wolfie (the son of Magda and Patrick from an earlier series) are involved in further subplots.

Filming started in mid-April 2012, taking place in Liverpool, and the first episode aired on Monday, 29 October.
