What happens

The Story of Tracy Beaker (informally known as Tracy Beaker or TSOTB) is a British television programme series adapted from the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. It ran on CBBC for five series, from January 2002 to December 2005 and also contained a feature-length episode, Tracy Beaker: The Movie of Me, broadcast in February 2004, as well as a week of interactive episodes for Children in Need. The theme song was written and produced by Brian Harris and Nigel Lowis and performed by Keisha White. It has become one of CBBC's most popular and repeated programmes, and still airs, however sporadically, on the channel as of 2026. Subsequently, it has spawned a number of spin-offs: Tracy Beaker Returns in 2010, which was followed by The Dumping Ground in 2013, and both My Mum Tracy Beaker and The Beaker Girls in 2021. The Story of Tracy Beaker is a heart-felt kids TV show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
