Young Dracula may be a children's bbc show but it's a damn good one. The script is witty and funny, and the characters are entertaining and memorable. Vlad is a 12-year old vampire, who moves to Britain with his family after being chased by angry peasant mobs back in Transylvania. However, Vlad doesn't want to be a vampire - he prefers to befriend the neighbours instead of biting them, an attitude which his father disapproves of.
If you're feeling that the recent vampire literature being churned out isn't, well, vampiric enough then you're absolutely right. Edward in Twilight doesn't live in a castle, burn in sunlight or even sleep in a coffin. And synthetic blood in True Blood is an interesting twist to the genre, but like everything fake in life it just isn't as sexy as the real thing.
What makes this show so great is the fact that it's so nasty. Causing havoc, draining humans of their blood, being selfish, betraying friends and family and being as evil as possible is most admirable if you're a vampire.
Forget about being nice. Put your capes on and watch this on YouTube.
