Advantages: Good plots, addresses necessary issues

Disadvantages: Can be slightly depressing at times

This is a BBC programme based around the troubles and tribulations of the school children at Waterloo Road school. It focuses all sorts of issues which teenagers go through daily and I believe that there should be more programmes like this out there. Not only does it address these issues, but it makes audiences feel its normal to be worried or experiencing similar problems. I could relate to this programme when I started watching the show as I could still remember clearly school days and those issues running through my head and my family had links to teaching and so I had already got experience of that perspective through them but I love that other people can gain opinions from watching this programme.

Its not all dark and depressing issues though, each episode will focus on a particular issue but there will always be other plots which will be running even from past seasons but its subtle enough that it doesnt put off new people joining the programme, on that point, dont read any more of this review, go to BBC iPlayer or go set that reminder to watch the next episode! BBC1 every wednesday at 8pm...do it! Now!

Summary: Good programme and helps address problems teenagers experience everyday
