Superfan Aleighcia Scott celebrates 20 years of the hit children's TV show The Story of Tracy Beaker, discovering how moving the production to Wales saved the series from cancellation. The creator of Tracy Beaker, Dame Jacqueline Wilson, gives an exclusive interview about how she came up with a child character which challenged adult authority, to the delight of generations of children. Actor Dani Harmer, who played Tracy, talks about seeing herself on screen for the first time and the reaction she got from fans. The team making the series explain why they made the decision to move the show's production base to Cardiff - ahead of Doctor Who and Casualty coming to the city. In a very exciting moment for Aleighcia, some of the Welsh actors who were cast as children to star in the programme share their memories of being part of one of CBBC's most popular shows.
