Waterloo Road Reunited

If you live in the UK, you probably know the award-winning British television drama series Waterloo Road on BBC One. The series is set in a troubled comprehensive school in Rochdale, Greater Manchester and focuses on the lives of the schools teacher and students, and confronts social issues, including affairs, abortion, divorce and suicide

Back in November, the BBC announced an online spin-off show, called Waterloo Road Reunited. This series follows former characters of the main show, and their lives after leaving Waterloo Road. Here you catch up with the lives and loves of favourite ex-pupils including Bolton, Michaela, Janeece, Philip, Aleesha and Paul, as they make their way in the world away from the classroom with mixed results.

The first episode of Waterloo Road Reunited was shown on 2 March and here it is again, in case you missed it:

 

By using a combination of scripted episodes (shown online and on red button), fictional social media networks, audio and interactive fan sites, Waterloo Road Reunited allows the audience to extend their relationship with their favourite characters from the screen to online.
