Biography

The Story of Tracy Beaker (also known as Tracy Beaker or TSOTB) is a British television programme adapted from the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. It ran on CBBC for five series, from 2002 to 2005 and also contained a feature-length episode, Tracy Beaker's Movie of Me, broadcast in 2004, as well as a week of interactive episodes for Children in Need. The theme song was written and performed by Keisha White. Many of the episodes have been released on official DVD compilations, whilst the entire series was available for a short period to purchase alongside a magazine based on the show.

Episodes

The pilot episode aired on 8 January 2002 and the series finale aired on 9 December 2005. The show spanned a total of five series with 120 episodes in total. Series 1 introduces the characters and feel of the show. In "Tracy Returns", Tracy moves back into the Dumping Ground.
