SERIES 3! HELP :|

With Tracy Beaker returns starting this Friday, my litle brother is spending his life watching the episodes on CBBC and iPlayer. But he said that there are never series 3 episodes on and i went onto wikipedia and it said series 3 is no longer repeated. Is this true? and can someone tell me..WHY!?

series 3 was the best series i think, and i would LOVE to watch them again, as well as my little brother whos dying to see them.

Also, what series/episode are the specials. i dont mean the movie of me but, aparently theres 5 specials. i know the one where she hits her head and everything changes, but me and my girlfriend were saying that theres an episode with her singing on a giant bed or something?

Thanks for all your help guys, apriciate it x

I assume by specials you mean episodes that are out of the ordinary for the usual Tracy Beaker format? The hit head one (series 5) is defenitly one of those weird ones, and there is indeed one where she has another dream (series 4, Life Is A Cabaret) where all the adults are evil and the children sing various songs which involves her jumping on the bed. None of the other episodes that I can remember however seem to be out of the ordinary.

Also BBC are constantly showing Tracy Beaker episodes and usually show them in a sort of cycle starting from the first series to the fifth. Unfortunately these tend to be in the holidays (so it might be a while for you and your brother) but I am sure they have never cancelled series 3, you just have to wait for one of those TB "marathon" days.

yeah they do show them all, but havent showed ANY series 3 in a LONG time but every other episodes from other series. i asked Danni Harmer and she said she didnt know anything about it and would find out but she hasnt got back to me. Hmm...its killing me cause series 3 was the best?

the singing episode has been bugging me for AGES and you have answered it for me. thanks so much :)

No problem, glad to help you out!
I am sorry that I couldn't be of any help with series 3, that's my favourite series as well. Have you been watching Tracy Beaker Returns? What do you think of it? I personally don't really know what to think, they are trying to make it all gritty and serious but it's just too different. I really like that Liam kid though, and also the one with the notepad. I think they should've had a few older characters such as teenagers in the carehome.

Yeah i watched it, is it on every friday yeah?
As a show i enjoyed it, i think it was very good. But it doesnt feel like Tracy Beaker anymore, just like a cmpletely new show. But i did love it.

I like Liam too. The reason they havent put older people in is because they want Tracy to look like an adult among the kids, by putting teenagers in she would just look like one cause shes quite small. So it is just to make the character look older.
If you want to talk more add me on msn, [email protected] tracy beaker chats are fun :D
