Waterloo Rd - Series 5 of the Re-Boot

[80sChav]

Starts again a week today I think is the date

It is still as good as ever (though of course I wish it was grange hill) but it now is certain that Waterloo Rd as assured it's status as "King of School Based Progs", like it or n not like

Thankfully it is as strong as ever - though i would prefer individual Episode storylines not like last Series where it ran concurrently with Steve and Billy Savage - which imho makes it even more Drama-based than it is, but how it is now with people like Jason Manford, Lindsey Coulson being attracted to it and angela Griffin making occasional cameos and up and coming stars like Sally Dynevor's Daughter joining in addition to past actors like George Sampson who got attracted to it show just how great it really is. Even what I'd term not very well known actors like the (UI think English Teacher) Rachel Leskovac who was only in Coronation Street fleetingly and only made a small but good impact there - show how strong and respected the cast is now, like it always was

A this week is the 4th episode and week (unless you are bing watchng) what do people think of this Seriee/

So far I think it is weak (and if it was'nt for Linsey Coulson) it'd be terrible now, but also what I am not keen on (not as it is woke) but they are going more "Issues-lead" over an entire Series than the individual plots they used to have per Episode with 1-off characters. It was good last Series with Jason Manford but still spread too far over every episode on one storyline - though I must say Linsey is so great on it as Dame Stella and so so far removed from her being Carol Jackson on EastEnders - which show's her acting skills are of the very very best calibre ... and she deserves any award going for her stunning portrayal of Dame Stella imho
