If you grew up in the early 2000s, odds are that Tracy Beaker and her friends and adversaries at "the dumping ground" played a massive role in your childhood.

The Story Of Tracy Beaker, which followed the lighthearted but often bittersweet adventures of Tracy and her pals at a foster home, officially went off the air in 2005, before returning for a brief, three-series stint called Tracy Beaker Returns in 2010 and a spin-off called The Dumping Ground, although star Dani Harmer didn't appear in the latter. Now, however, it's been announced that the character, based on the equally-loved series of books written by Jacqueline Wilson in the '90s, is making one more return, this time as an adult.

The three-part mini-series, My Mum Tracy Beaker, is due to air on CBBC this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (February 12-14) with Dani Harmer reprising her role as Tracy along with returning actors Montanna Thompson as her nemesis Justine Littlewood, Lisa Coleman as her long-suffering adoptive mother Cam Lawson, and Ruth Gemmell as Tracy's biological mother.

Naturally, the internet went a little nuts over the new trailer and the timeline's been flooded with memes ever since.

They’re bringing Tracy Beaker back for a grown up series and I am beyond thrilled about this

No I don’t think people fully understand how iconic it is that Tracy Beaker and Justine Littlewood are reuniting as adults. CBBC don’t realise how massive this is, they’ve aimed it at kids but I bet their highest viewing percentage will be age 20s-30s. This is gay rights. pic.twitter.com/tNsR73ykK8

It’s been 20 years since Tracy Beaker aired and Justine Littlewood hasn’t aged a day? I guess being a problematic legend does a body good after all

If we're getting a Tracy Beaker sequel then I want a gritty, live action Arthur reboot.
