So as reported last year, Waterloo Road (Grange Hill on roids) has returned to BBC One, and is also on the iPlayer (before the scheduled broadcast time of 8pm Tuesdays).
I have to say I am not impressed with episode one, it strikes me that they're desperate to entice new viewers (use of texts overlaid on screen, children staging a coup and a violent disorder over a racist statue/school naming and paint bombs being thrown everywhere, along with a vagrant youth living in the boiler room).
The whole episode is in that weird cinema aspect ratio with bars top and bottom.
