Hetty Feather is a British children's drama, which focuses on the life of the title character, who was abandoned as a baby and lives in a Foundling Hospital in London. It is based on the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. The first series aired from 11 May 2015 to 6 July 2015. Series 2 was first aired on 10 May 2016.
The premise of the series revolves around Hetty Feather, who was abandoned as a baby. She was fostered by Peg with Gideon Smeed, her foster brother and when they turned 5, they had to return to the Foundling Hospital. The series is set during 1887 and filmed at Cobham Hall, Cobham, Kent. Series two once again returned to Cobham Hall, Cobham, Kent and also used The Maidstone Studios as their production base.
After the end of the episode The End Of It All in series 4, a five-minute crossover between The Dumping Ground and Hetty Feather aired on CBBC, titled A Special Dumping Ground Adventure. Its official title (according to CBBC Online) is Floss The Foundling and has instead used this title online and in subsequent TV airings.
When Floss has to do the vacuuming. she ruins a picture that Tyler, Billie and Toni work on when they don't want her help. Floss falls asleep on the sofa and ends up in the Foundling Hospital. She encounters Hetty Feather, who introduces Floss to the Foundling Hospital ways. Sheila and Elizabeth are mean towards Floss and Hetty gets Floss out of trouble with Matron Bottomley. Floss and Hetty make friends. When Floss wakes up, she draws a replacement picture.
The first series of Hetty Feather has been made available on DVD, which was made available on 27 July 2015.
