yes, the Greenock move really was stupid - except it was purely for the BBC to move production work elsewhere. But it was a bizarre storyline which made no real sense.
I think it's finally starting to feel a bit more settled, but I do miss scenes in the teachers' houses, eg I loved all the goings-on in Tom's house. We dont even know where Tom lives now, afaik.
The extra pupils are locals - remember the head teacher at the the other local school wasnt happy that a lot of them moved to WR?
ARE they following the english curriculum, or are they doing their own thing? Have they mentioned that?
No idea what Blondie is getting out of funding an entire school, with not a lot of thanks, far less financial benefit.
"Why is no-one from Greenock?" - a lot of them are - Connor and his mum, the girl who was burned (cant remember her name), and the others tend to be from the old WR or have moved house to attend the school (which also makes no sense).
"Why do the Barry children still have scouse accents when they're growing up in Greenock?" I thought they had just moved there, but who knows?
"Why does Jane beale's real accent sound more fake than her fake accent." Yes, this irritates me hugely - her scottish accent sounds really forced and fake, weirdly.
Could Chalky have got his CRB check etc, but then decided not to tell an employer about his name-change? Or would that all have to be disclosed to the head of the school?
