1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Listen to the opening theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB2WDy3lCXM Someday]]" by Keisha White.
2* FanonDiscontinuity:
3** Some fans choose not to acknowledge the existence of seasons four and five, namely due to Tracy being [[DemotedToExtra turned into a recurring character]], as well as the plots not being as strong as the previous seasons, with some viewing "The Movie of Me" as the true finale.
4** Others go as far as to discount anything after the first season since it was the only season that was loosely based on the original book and fans were disappointed that ''The Dare Game'', the book's first sequel wasn't adapted.
5* MemeticMutation: Rio's question of "Right, who's got my Music/Maroon5 CD?"
6* RetroactiveRecognition: Ben's actor would later go on to play Lee Jordan in the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' films and Magnitude in ''Series/{{Community}}''.
7** Craig Roberts, who plays Rio, would later appear as Oliver in Creator/{{RichardAyoade}}'s ''Film/{{Submarine}}'' and as Ass-Juice in ''Film/Neighbors2014''.
8** Clive Rowe, who plays Duke, would later appear in a guest role in the ''Recap/DoctorWho'' 2007 Christmas special [[Recap/DoctorWho2007CSVoyageOfTheDamned ''Voyage of the Damned'']].
9* TheScrappy:
10** Michael from Series 3, for being a nasty little prick to everyone, bullying the younger kids, snitching on the older ones, sucking up to the careworkers and for almost always ending up a KarmaHoudini. Even though it was possibly more understandable due to him missing his older brother who's on the run from Social Services, it's probably why he never appeared after that season.
11** Same applies for Amber from Series 2 (a rebellious teenager with a [[TeensAreMonsters nasty attitude]]) and Rebecca (Justine's new rival who is a BitchInSheepsClothing) from Series 5, though Amber did briefly return in a Children In Need special and has become somewhat friendlier after working as a roadie with her adoptive family.
12** Alice, a [[GranolaGirl New Age culture-loving girl]] who appears in Series 5, is sometimes viewed like this, due to her overly-annoying perky nature and attempts to befriend Roxy, despite not understanding that Roxy wants nothing to do with her.
13* SeasonalRot: Series 5 is generally regarded by fans as being the weakest of all the series. Despite the return of characters such as Mike, Justine and Shelley, some good episodes and a generally well-received finale, it is more or less regarded as not being as good or funny as the first few seasons due to the plots becoming more gimmicky (such as an episode about a farm coming to the Dumping Ground or an episode where the kids just tell stories via animation), more OutOfCharacter moments (especially one episode in which all the kids try to befriend Wolfie after learning he is rich) and Tracy become extremely OutOfFocus, with Justine essentially becoming the main character.
