This has to
be the biggest collaboration of cast and crew since we put together the Game of
Thrones article last year. You may also
be surprised just how many cast and crew of the Tracy Beaker drama that we
discovered in Torchwood and Doctor Who.
Aside from Ciaran Joyce who we know played Smiler in Torchwood: Captain
Jack Harkness, and Clive Rowe who played Morvin Van Hoff in Doctor Who – Voyage
of the Damned, you’d think that there hadn’t been many from the Whovian world,
but you’d be wrong.
Due to the
high volume of cast and crew appearing in often all 4 of the dramas and film,
it was easier to list those people only once, save reading the same details a
bunch of times. So when you’re going
through the list and wonder why we didn’t list Duke or Liam in other serials,
this is the reason.
When the
Tracy Beaker series first began, it started its life out in Cardiff Newcastle
In the
Wales edition of the story, the Dumping Ground was known as Stowey House, it
had a massive back garden and looked like a town house, and I think all of my
family wanted to live there, if only for the massive garden.
Kids
bedrooms were upstairs as were the staff, downstairs were the kitchen,
lounge/tv room and the other rooms.
In Tracy
Beaker Returns the house was called Cliffside, still in Wales
Interior
wise, the kitchen was upstairs, the bedrooms were scattered, much larger though
I recall, and it looked like a large hotel or hostel!
Much later
with the move to Newcastle, the house name changed again, this time to Elmtree
House, and as before, none of the kids nor staff had noticed the change. It was still the Dumping Ground as it had been
when Tracy Beaker had been in charge but the fixtures and fittings were most
definitely new but greatly improved. I
loved the kitchen and the lounge area.
It looked more up to date from the office point of view and homely. Mind you, a lot of the cast had grown up,
especially Dani Harmer’s character Tracy
Elmtree
House remained long after Tracy
My family
have grown up watching the series, and its fun to look back on the series,
knowing that Tracy
I’m sure
you’ve all a favourite character from the drama series; below as always you’ll
find where else you’ve seen your cast and crew.
We’ve done the research so you don’t have to.
The Story of Tracy Beaker began in 2002
and was filmed in Cardiff South
Wales
