Dani's House is a British children's television series that follows the life of a young actress named Dani (played by Dani Harmer), who lives in a house with four eccentric ghosts. In season one, episode three, titled "Luck," Dani experiences a string of unfortunate events and begins to believe that she has run out of good luck.

The episode begins with Dani waking up to find that she has forgotten to do her homework for school. She runs to her computer to try and finish it, but the computer crashes, causing her to lose all of her work. She then rushes to get dressed, but spills a glass of orange juice on her new top. Frustrated and upset, she leaves the house to catch the bus to school.

On the bus, Dani meets a man named Maurice (played by Tim Brooke-Taylor) who claims to be a good luck charm. Dani is skeptical but decides to take a chance and rub Maurice's lucky coin.

At school, Dani's misfortune continues as she fails a quiz and loses her library book. She starts to believe that Maurice's lucky coin is not working and decides to confront him on the bus ride home. Maurice tells Dani that the coin only works if she believes in it and herself. He helps her to see that she has the power to change her luck by having a positive attitude.

When Dani arrives home, she finds that her luck has turned around and her missing library book and homework have been found. She thanks Maurice for helping her to realize that luck is only a state of mind.

Meanwhile, the ghosts in Dani's house are also experiencing their own problems with luck. The ghost of an actor named Max (played by Dylan Turner) is auditioning for a commercial but keeps getting rejected. He asks the other ghosts to help him by casting a spell to bring him good luck. However, the spell goes wrong and Max ends up with the luck of a black cat, causing him to have an accident-prone day.

Despite the mishaps, Max eventually gets the commercial job thanks to his own talent and perseverance. The other ghosts learn that their actions can have consequences and that sometimes it's better to rely on hard work rather than good luck.

Overall, season one, episode three of Dani's House, titled "Luck," is a lighthearted and comical episode that explores the theme of luck and the power of positive thinking. Through Dani's struggles and Max's misadventures, the episode teaches viewers that luck is not something that can be relied on but that success and happiness can be achieved through hard work and self-belief. The episode also introduces the character of Maurice, who brings a sense of positivity and wisdom to the show.
