Waterloo Road

I’ve just had the misfortune to watch about 20 minutes of this dreadful BBC series - Waterloo Road - tonight.

But I’m sure there will be some much more resourceful, robust, and ‘with-it’ teachers than me out there, who will be able to make some use of Waterloo Road. Good luck to you all! Myself, I found it like a really bad pantomime, with some excruciatingly predictable villains and plot.

I do wish the BBC would ban dramas based in schools. Tell the script writers to try and come up with something more interesting.And imaginative. OK, I know I shouldn’t carp - as someone who keeps wittering on about the superiority of stuff like Kojak, but really, there are limits.

Happy viewing.
