The True CBBC Ident For My Mum Tracy Beaker

This CBBC ident I'm thinking of for My Mum Tracy Beaker would spoof one of the idents for BBC Two's 50th anniversary, except it would have photos of various CBBC shows and characters from 2002 up to now which spell out 'Welcome Home, Tracy Beaker' and this music playing...
...while Tracy, Vlad, Arthur, Buster, D.W and Zoltan dance in the style of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Hot Dog Dance. Wouldn't that be a good ident? That would be if they remade the ident into what I've described earlier for CBBC.

What's The Plan - 13.2.21 - 19.2.21

  • 13.2.21-14.2.21 - My Mum Tracy Beaker

  • 15.2.21 - Dog Loves Stars

  • 16.2.21 - Dog Loves An Anthology

  • 17.2.21 - Dog Loves Balancing

  • 18.2.21 - Dog Loves Record Breakers

  • 19.2.21 - Dog Loves Dinosaurs
Is it just me or do those dinosaurs look a lot like the adult Heffalumps that come to inspect either Eeyore or Rabbit's garden during the end credits of Pooh's Heffalump Movie?

The Blue Peter-Tracy Beaker Party

Learn how to combine both worlds with a Tracy Beaker/Blue Peter party!
2021 has proven to be an exciting year for Blue Peter - first Radzi returned, then there was a relaxed show celebrating Lunar New Year (Ni Hao!) and now, Blue Peter is celebrating everything Tracy Beaker! I bet Jacqueline Wilson is watching right now and thinking "Tracy's getting all the attention she deserves. She is my most popular character after all." Since Tracy is my favourite CBBC classic character besides Arthur and Young Dracula, celebrate Blue Peter and Tracy Beaker coming together with a fun party you can celebrate at home!

Find some fun birthday decorations which you can lay with various Tracy Beaker and Blue Peter imagery, then make some pink and blue party hats with the Blue Peter symbol or Tracy's image on them. For food, you could try Tracy's favourite foods, including a delicious Funfetti cake, or a Shelley-Bration cake, because Shelley was around when Tracy Beaker aired in reruns, and even when Tracy Beaker Returns premiered in 2010. There's also recipes for party food themed around Tracy's favourite foods, including Smarties cookiesMars Bars browniespopcornSpider Jellies (a substitute for Jelly Spiders since I can't find any recipes themed around the sweet), CornettosburgersFrench fries and strawberry milkshakes. Pop on episodes of The Story Of Tracy Beaker on the iPlayer app and - Henry's your uncle - you've got a perfect Beaker-Peter party!

Watch the Blue Peter Tracy Beaker Takeover on iPlayer. This is the best Blue Peter show they've ever produced besides Radzi's return and their behind the scenes looks at Scream Street and Strange Hill High:

Countdown To My Mum Tracy Beaker - Tracy Beaker Superstar

Its Make It & Bake It section will allow you to make awesome and exciting crafts using everything from around the house, with characters from shows like Paw Patrol, Butterbeans' Cafe and Nella The Princess Knight (it makes me think of The Lion Guard).
