Deleted Scenes[]

A few scenes were deleted from the broadcast episode:

  • A longer scene of the young people in the lounge reacting to Tyler's attempts to play the trombone.
  • A scene where the young people enter the front door having with musical instruments they picked up from Tyler's skip.
  • A scene where Kazima shows Tyler how to play the trombone properly.
  • May-Li, Harry, Finn and Ryan inside the kitchen where May-Li passes Harry and Finn the sandwiches and Finn begins talking about his experience at his foster home.

Trivia[]

  • Finn has moved into Ashdene Ridge.
  • Harry has returned to live in Ashdene Ridge.
  • Harry turns nine in this episode.
  • Tee and Johnny were admitted into care in 2004.
  • After the episode's first broadcast, a trailer for the following episode was shown (although subsequent broadcasts of the trailer omitted the announcer giving the episode's name, "Dragon Slayer").
  • While Ryan was only seen reading Tee and Harry's files, given that he opened the files on the other young people, it is possible that he read the files of the other young people. This would explain, for instance, how he knew about Jody's family being put in prison in "Coming Round" or Kazima's past as a pickpocket in "Refuge".
  • Mike's computer password is "mikesthebest1".
  • Harry was taken into care because of neglect and physical abuse. This was first mentioned by Tracy in the Tracy Beaker Returns episode, "Eggs". 
  • Keith (Mrs Taylor's ex-boyfriend)'s surname is Taylor. 

Cultural References[]

Errors[]

  • When Ryan types the password on the computer, there is one dot too many.
  • Toni and Billie don't have a file on Mike's computer.
  • Kazima's last name is given as "Durrani" instead of "Tako" on Mike's computer.
  • When Ryan is reading Tee's file, look carefully and you can see the word "neighbours" spelt in the American manner (without the "u").
  • When Ryan is reading Harry's file, someone typed "an" instead of "and", and the word "resident" is spelt "residnet".
  • Mike says that all of the files on the computer except one have been opened. However, when he says this, Tyler's file was shown to be closed in addition to Ryan's.
  • On Tee's file, it says she was taken into care when she was 5 in 2004. This cannot be true as in Who Are You, Tee said that she and Johnny went into care and was the first out of the current residents back then to live in the Dumping Ground, which contradicts a statement which Johnny made earlier about going into another care home before the DG. If they went to live at the Dumping Ground in 2005 then they would have met some of the residents at Cliffside or at Elm Tree House. And at some point would have met Tracy Beaker when she was still living there.
  • As Mike and May-Li search through the computer, Mike says that Ryan's file was the only one not open, but in that scene, neither Ryan or Tyler's file was open.
  • In Harry's file, it says "began" where it should say "begun".

Production Errors[]

  • When Adam catches up with the boys in his car, when Harry runs back for Finn he is wearing a black coat. When the camera changes angles, the coat is suddenly falling off Harry.
  • Kia Pegg (Jody Jackson) is credited despite not being in the episode.
  • When Ryan takes Floss's birthday card off her, when the camera goes to close up, the angle Floss is holding the envelope changes. Also, in the wide shot, May-Li is looking through the window from the office to the lounge, but is looking at the computer monitor without turning her head in the close up.
  • After Carmen identifies Tyler's instrument as a trombone, the subtitles still call it a "trumpet" on a couple of occasions.
  • When the kids are in the lounge (before Ryan goes to Harry's house), Tee says something that the subtitles type up as "You have to use the most common", when she was actually saying, "You have to use BIDMAS, Carmen".
