Her mum didnt want her and so Tracey concocts romantic stories about her being in Hollywood.

Tracey calls it the DUMPING GROUND

DS loves those books and TV show

just seen this thread. My kids love it but I have had to explain about childrens homes and fo stering etc. I don't like it but I think the format of her fantasy world in cartoon really appeals to kids.

my kids are hooked too. Sometimes I think they wish they could be dumped as it seems so idylic!

Does anyone else have a problem with this programme, or am I turning into an old fogey? My (nearly) 8 year old son is coming out with the attitude and backchat, all courtesy of the TB script.

sorry but it could be due to the fact he is turning 8!!!!
