Aifric vs Being Eve vs & The Story of Tracy Beaker

Welcome to the 71st episode of Yesterday's Capers. Every week, Abdullah Moallim will be reviewing and looking back at some of the most memorable and well known tv shows and cartoons from the past. Every week Abdullah and a contributor will compare two different shows, and put them head to head, as well as having an in-depth discussion about a specific show.

For the next month, we'll be taking a look at some of the best female led cartoons and television shows, to commemorate Women's History Month.

We're starting off with putting the Irish language classic Aifric up against Being Eve from New Zealand. Two excellent teen dramas that were very popular and acclaimed in their respective countries and won multiple awards domestically and internationally.

And we take a special look The Story of Tracy Beaker. Based on the hugely popular book series by Jacqueline Wilson we talk about how successful this series became in the UK in the 2000s. We'll talk episodes, classic moments and we talk spin off shows such as Tracy Beaker Returns and The Dumping Ground. 

And we talk and reflect on the brand new show My Mum Tracy Beaker as the iconic character returned to our screens in February 2021.
