This show is basically about a 10 year old girl named Tracy beaker, she is artistic, imaginative, outgoing and extremely bright for a child with quite heavy behaviour problems, this show follows the lives of her, her enemy Justine littlewood, her ex best friend Louise, a journalist and hope to be foster mum for Tracy called cam, whom she tends to fall in and out with along the duration of the shows run, and a whole lot of other children and careworkers that come into the care home (Which the children tend to call the "Dumping ground" as the series goes on. Well about the acting..not to over the top, not to boring, just good, but i wouldn't give this show high marks for its acting as I've seen better, yet again, this is a fun show with kids acting for fun, not a show the cast will win an Emmy for. Well the story lines..

there believable and strong and sometimes quite moving..yet there are some in which can be pointless and boring at times such as the ones which Tracy weren't in, these being ones from the last series, and it was just about the other kids running around and pigs living in the dumping ground and identical twins coming to dumping ground parties and causing havoc, again, none of these having Tracy which was absolutely pointless and by now the show was going downhill. However, i love this show, especially series 1-3, and am now a proud subscriber to the story of Tracy beaker DVD collecting magazine lol! 2 of 6 people found this review helpful.

The series is the story of various children in a British carehome, told through its lead, Tracy Beaker . In the first three series, Tracy lived at the carehome and the stories revolved around her desire to leave the home, nicknamed by the kids as 'The Dumping Ground'. By the start of the fourth series, Tracy has been fostered by author Cam Lawson ; the events of this are depicted in The Movie of Me. Because of this, the focus of the programme shifts slightly with the plots now focusing on Cam and Tracy's relationship, while back at 'The Dumping Ground', characters such as Jackie , Crash , Lol and Bouncer have been taking over Tracy's narrative role there. With the fostering of the series' primary antagonist, Tracy's worst enemy, Justine Littlewood , a new family called " The Wellards " are introduced to the home. Tracy's role is reduced further in the final series, notably she does not debut in person until episode 4, with the main narrative being the return of Justine to the 'Dumping Ground'. However when Tracy does return, she moves back into the children's home because of Cam's new boyfriend, Gary.

Gary and Cam marry, which Tracy is initially hostile to, before adopting Tracy full-time. This closes the original series.
