The Chosen One - still kicking!

Hi,

It's been some time since I last posted here. And I have to tell you that I'm so pleased you are keeping the fires burning for the show - thank you. It means a great deal to all of us who worked on YD 1 & 2.

So, I'm glad to say that I have some good news to share. Our final, so far, episode of Young Dracula - The Chosen One, has just been nominated for a Children's (never use the term myself) BAFTA which will be held on November 30th at The London Hilton.

We are nominated with,The Revenge Files of Alister Fury, The Sarah Jane Adventures - series 1 and Summerhill. Stiff competition.

Getting the nomination is a boost us all. Getting the top prize would be fantastic, a total shot in the arm for those that care about Vlad's story. Perhaps, if this happens, we may be able to convince the "powers" to give us the chance to see what happens next, an opportunity to see how Stokley suffers or reacts to Ingrid's vow to avenge Will's death.

What do you think? There's life in this vampire tale yet....

Spread the word.

Am so glad it has been nominated, I really hope it's gets the award as the program deserves it. If it does it show the bbc that there chucking a brilliant show from there channels.

I really hope that the bbc reconsider there decision. Vlad story needs to be continued, I look forward to hearing the result

Thanks for great news and good luck at the awards! Just being nominated at all should be enough to prove the series worth and potential success! This show simply HAS to go on! And please try to get it onto DVD! Good Luck!

Good luck, guys! YD totally deserves to win. As for not using the "children's" word...we love this show at my house, and we're the parents. The kid's still watching CBeebies, but give her a few years and I bet she'll love it too. I'd much rather sit through endless repeats of YD then Teletubbies. Here's hoping the BBC comes to their senses and comissions more seasons.

Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old...

1 "Kid's" show that surprised me how good it was was Strange Days at Blake Holsey High.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Hi all, been a while. I hope it gets the recognition too! It so deserves it! Maybe then the Beeb will listen - you never know! I really want to find out what happens next!

Everybody's gotta be out of contract now so it'd be prohibitively expensive to relaunch, plus all the sets will have been struck years ago.

I'm very sorry, but current feeling is there is no practical way to continue.
