The time has come and Waterloo Road is back, so we're firmly diving into our usual format to discuss the new series. We're introduced to a new headteacher, some new storylines, and a momentous instance of the show being written entirely for us and nobody else. As ever, Tom Beasley and Luke Stevenson are your podcast hosts.
