    Really good overall

    It can be a bit cheesy and childish at times, but it shows a big important message, it teaches children about different types of families, it teaches them that you SHOULD NOT be mean or bully them just because of what's going on with your home life. And yes, the random laughter and the 'happily ever afters' in some of the episodes are a bit much, but I really enjoy the show, even though I am an adult.

    Great show

    This show is so good I definitely recommend it and it is so drama full all of the cast are amazingly always do like how the script /character is some people hate it some people love it I want other people to personally love it there should be more drama more characters and I definitely think some people should realise that they have twins or brothers or sisters in the show like they've never met before and that would make it like a bit better like the like musicians on the show and I think it should go up to 50 series, cause it's like so good and I really dont want it to end because it's absolutely so good!!

    Amazing

    Simply amazing programme so many great names have acted in this from east Enders to emmerdale and coronation street stars. The acting is on point from each individual actor and actress from series 1 to 10 there are so many good ones in there who have gone on to join other programs and are flourishing in other area of acting and have gone on to do amazing things. Last year was 10 years of The Dumping Ground which ended up at the BAFTAs for the season 10 showing and also picking up another award for series 8 the Dodo. The Dumping ground is a fantastic written show whcjb I have had the privalage of watching.
