Experience

Template:Infobox episode

The Dumping Ground Experience was the third episode of the second season of The Dumping Ground. It was first broadcast on 17/01/2014 at 17:30 on the CBBC Channel and CBBC HD.

Plot

Believing that Carmen is creating a false impression of what life in the Dumping Ground is like for a care worker training video, Jody decides to make her own video of life in the DG. Will she succeed?

Bonus Scene

Outside the bathrooms, Carmen makes Floss make a frame shape with her fingers so Carmen can pretend she's on camera and tells what life in the DG is like (including having to share a bathroom). Floss tells Carmen that what she did was dumb, and starts giving her own account of life in the DG with the help of her sock puppets.

Notes

A preview for this episode shown on the CBBC website showed the bit where Tyler tumbled over on the grass without the video camera effect.
The episode is referred to on BBC websites (including CBBC and iPlayer) as "Experience".

Trivia

From this episode, Carmen and Jody are no longer friends.
Faith is now in crutches as opposed to being wheelchair bound.
