Spin-offs overview

The Story of Tracy Beaker

Tracy Beaker: The Movie of Me

Tracy Beaker: The Movie of Me is a television movie and a spin-off to '' The Story of Tracy Beaker'' that broadcast on 21 February 2004 on CBBC. The film was shot in Cardiff, Wales, with scenes at Castell Coch, and London, England. The movie was later released on DVD.

Originally broadcast part-way through the release of Series 3, the exact placement of this story in the wider continuity of the series is debatable. The Dumping Ground is as it appears in Series 2, with the subtle additions introduced in the third series being absent (notably, the repainting of the living room from beige to blue). This suggests that the special was filmed prior to Series 3, despite featuring cast members that would only be introduced in the following episodes. The story likely does not take place during the events of Series 3, however, with the reveal of Tracy’s fostering not being referenced until Series 4. A number of cast members from Series 3 are absent from the movie (and subsequent episodes), suggesting that this story takes place some time after the events of that series. However, Justine appears to still be living at the Dumping Ground, despite departing at the conclusion of Series 3.
