Original release
Release	26th September 2008

Dani's House is a UK, BBC children's sitcom starring actress Dani Harmer. It first aired on BBC1 on 26th September 2008.

Dani Harmer, of Tracy Beaker fame, stars in her own fast-paced new comedy show. Created especially for her, the lively and slightly surreal series features guest appearances by Matt Di Angelo, Lil Chris, Richard Blackwood, Zoe Salmon and Shaun Williamson.

Dani plays the eponymous lead role of 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 cannot go out with her friends, Toby and Sam, the trio 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, and who bear an uncanny resemblance to Dani and Toby.

The theme sung is sung by the show's protagonist Dani Harmer and is entitled "Breaking Free".
