In the fifth season of Simon Townsend's Wonder World!, Simon added an advice segment to the show's format featuring a young teenage girl named Samantha Woodhouse, who went by the name 'Dear Danni'.

Dear Danni was a type of 'Agony Aunt' figure for the young viewers. Kids could write to the show about any problem they were going through and Dear Danni would read the letters on air and give her advice on how to solve the issues.

In later seasons Danni left the show, but was replaced with a teenage boy Danny.
