Do They Love Her In America?
These videos from Buzzfeed and Newsround show how much the world loves Tracy Beaker, not just British people.
Danger Mouse Begins...A Long Time Ago
Before he emerged to become a CBBC superstar, Danger Mouse and Penfold spent their time doing yoga and practising the saxophone before calling into the case of the missing bagpipes. This was the unaired first adventure for Danger Mouse, the one who returned to CBBC when the legends known as Mitchell, Becky and Templeton arrived two years before he returned to television.

The Poster For My New Den
I'm moving to my Grandma's as a result of her dramatic Operation Ouch-style hospital abduction and then her return in a zimmerframe, and I'm having a new den! Yay! To make it like it's my own professional palace, away from barking dogs, screaming kids and mowing mowers, guess what I'm going to put into it...
That's my poster! With two of my favourite things: Bluey and Scream Street. What do you think? I think it'll be a great addition to my new den! It'll also help me get closer to my tastes, even when I can't see them again. Yes, even adults have posters in their rooms. Especially ones of monsters and Australian dogs.
CBBC: Adult Life - Drinking & Smoking
TRACY BEAKER: Everyone ready to play the Dare Game, Adult Version?
ARTHUR/VLAD: Yep!
TRACY BEAKER: I'd say it's your go first, Arthur, because you're my-
VLAD: Zoltan! What the hell are you doing with a joint in your mouth?
ZOLTAN: I'm getting high at the moment Vlad. Next thing you know, I'll be cheesing toasties.
ARTHUR: Don't tell me you meant what I think you meant...anyway, I'll spin the dial.
[Arthur spins the dial, and it lands on a picture of a whisky bottle]
ARTHUR: Get drunk!
TRACY BEAKER: Right! I'll get the whisky bottles.
[Tracy gets out three whisky bottles from the fridge, and unscrews the corks, handing two of the drinks to Vlad and Arthur.]
ZOLTAN: Go ahead with your drinking, I'm so high right now...
TRACY BEAKER: Cheers.
[Tracy, Vlad and Arthur drink up, then throw their beer bottles on the floor.]
VLAD: Er...Tracy, I don't think that whisky is sitting too well.
ARTHUR: Mine neither, I think we're going to be sick!
TRACY BEAKER: Quick, guys, the bathroom!
[Everyone races upstairs to the bathroom, and everyone vomits in the toilet at once. Exhausted, they sigh in relief, until Arthur coughs up a hairball, grossing out Vlad and Tracy.
Once they go downstairs...]
ARTHUR: All this sickness has made us hungry. Let's go and find a bite to eat-OH MY GOD!
[Zoltan is shaking a bag of crisps from the fridge open. The fridge is wide open, and there is food everywhere. Vlad races up to Zoltan and starts to snatch the bag of crisps out of his mouth]
VLAD: Zoltan, give it back!
ZOLTAN: No way, I've got the munchies, man!
[Arthur and Tracy pull with Vlad, until the bag bursts and crisps fly everywhere. Tracy begins to sob, and she covers her face with her hands.]
TRACY BEAKER: Oh my god, it's ruined. [to the heavens] Bog off, God! You ruin our lives!

Scream Street Water Bottles!
I hope there'll be an episode where Otto sets up a gym. If there is, blow your whistle and your roommates will come running to see the new Scream Street adventures! I hope the water bottles he puts there in the gym aren't drugged like in the Happy Appy story 'Forenzik'.

CBBC: Adult Life - Phone Call
[Arthur is watching The Story Of Tracy Beaker on iPlayer. He is taken back by all the happy memories Tracy had in the Dumping Ground. Munching on a slice of pizza, he pauses the video.]
ARTHUR: Hey, suppose I'll give Tracy a ring, see how she's doing.
[Arthur picks up his iPhone and dials Tracy's number. Tracy is writing her next story when the CBBC 2007 ringtone goes off on her phone. She picks it up and answers it.]
ARTHUR: Hey, Tracy!
TRACY BEAKER: Hi, Arthur! We haven't hooked up with each other in like a few years.
ARTHUR: Yeah, that was way back. Remember when it was your birthday and you fantasized about leaving Ben out to die in the desert?
TRACY BEAKER: What? That was just a fantasy.
ARTHUR: Fantasy? These imaginative sequences were shown to the whole entire world, just like the thoughts of me and my friends when we were kids.
TRACY BEAKER: Yeah, great. Remember when D.W. went to a princess-unicorn restaurant to learn how to try new foods?
ARTHUR: That was repeated way too many times.
TRACY BEAKER: And I could not forget the time when Binky found out he had an allergy.
ARTHUR: What about Tracy Beaker Returns?
TRACY BEAKER: Hmmm...it would be better if My Mum Tracy Beaker contained animated sequences like in my first two shows - you know, ones with me and the DG residents as superheroes or princesses or fairies or knights or jungle explorers or being catapulted or being shot out of cannons.
ARTHUR: Ha! I remember all that! Plus, remember your first animated sequence?
TRACY BEAKER: Yeah, right. Whenever I screamed, it showed a riotous animation of the Dumping Ground shattering to smithereens, or Jenny flying out the window, yeah these were-
[Tracy's other iPhone goes off]
[Tracy picks up the phone, and...]
VLAD: Tracy!
TRACY BEAKER: Oh my goodness, Vlad!
VLAD: Yeah yeah, I was on last October.
TRACY BEAKER: But I missed it.
VLAD: No you didn't, you Breather! Scream Street had a new season. I guess the new main characters for CBBC today are three refugees named Luke, Resus and Cleo.
TRACY BEAKER: I get it already, Vlad, my movie aired two times last year, but I guess you could say CBBC is just like a Hasbro toyline - the main characters change with every new incarnation.
VLAD: Tell me, Trace - what are you thinking about?
TRACY BEAKER: Erm...a shampire.
VLAD: I'm off!!
TRACY BEAKER: Shouldn't he just have yelled "Bog off!"?

Countdown To My Mum Tracy Beaker - The Time Has Come!
It's the big day at last, and to celebrate, look at those behind the scenes clips with Dani Harmer relating to your Tracy Beaker fix from Girl Talk and Blue Peter, who previously have covered the new series of Scream Street, which I loved. And guess what? One BP presenter, Mwaksy, gets to play a minor role. Darn it! Do you think Lindsey, Richie, Adam and Henry were watching this whole time? I bet they are, and they might be Jess' PE teacher's friends. I wonder if other CBBC characters might star in the series. In my mind, they do.
Nookie Bitesize - Tracy Beaker Cake
The time has come at last. Tracy Beaker is making her epic return to CBBC, in the new series My Mum Tracy Beaker! To celebrate, let's make a Tracy Beaker-themed cake to eat while watching the premiere tonight at 5:00PM!
Once you've done that, check out this video of this special Tracy Beaker themed cake decorating challenge from yesterday's memorable Blue Peter show.
