Ackley Bridge - C4

[TheSecondOfHerName]

Starts at 8pm this evening.
Anyone else planning to watch?

Am watching.
Its Tanya from EE with dodgy accent.

Watching.

Oohhh Paul Nichols..

Liking it so far!

Seems good so far!

Paul nichols is so lovely. Just my type.
Its a bit like Waterloo road, northern style.

I'm watching. It's very restrained, not like my school at all 😂

That bloody woman from Trollied and In the Club is in it. It's OK so far I suppose. More interesting than Eastenders at the moment.

I'm confused: Jordan was talking about being a 'revert' and then the police officer and community liaison were asking him if he's interested in Islam? Revert doesn't mean the same as convert, it means someone who returns to their original religion after converting. Am I missing something?

I was looking forward to this but it's so disappointing. Totally unrealistic. More like a teen teen soap. I thought it was going to be a decent drama.

Well that's done it! The teachers are rubbish! The only half decent line was when Liz White agreed with the student about the reading list being full of literature written by dead old white men. And her ex husband is Russ from Hollyoaks!

This is cringey.

Totally unrealistic. Poor writing, stereotypical characters.

I never like Liz White in anything- she is incredibly annoying and false.

Not a patch on Waterloo Road (set across the border in Lancashire)

It's rubbish but has the beautiful Paul Nicholls in it.

I'm going with rubbish.

It was nowhere near as good as Waterloo Road.

I read that they decided to re-write some of it after the explosion in the Manchester Arena (original story line featured an explosive device) so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this week and try one more episode.

I've just been looking for a thread on this.

How cringe worthy.

Non of them can act.

What does everyone think?

Utter crap.

I'm only watching for him. Why can't I post a picture!!

My 13 year old liked it, but he loved Waterloo Road!

Well I quite liked it. But then I thought Waterloo Road was deadly boring.

Thesecondofhername I had a Muslim cab driver trying to convert me recently and he said "we don't call it converting we call it reverting because we believe we were all Muslims to begin with". I'm not watching the programme so I don't know if that makes sense in the context you are asking.

Yes, all Muslim converts are reverts because in Islam everyone is born a Muslim.

The programme was awful, trying too hard to deal with "issues".
But my oh my, Paul Nicholls all grown up.

Another vote for Paul Nicholas aha. I fancied him in Eastenders too. He was one I'd my first proper crushes.

What's with their phones? When they all got the naked photo of Miss? It was like some weird image thing and they all had the sane phone.

Can't believe Paul hit a kid in things first episode!

Please don't suspend him!!!!!

My dh was wondering about the weird phones and the hologram thing- is it an app or something? my phone is pretty old so i wouldnt have all these things.
sitting in skips? asking her boyfriend to sleep with her friend?
the dishy teacher married to Tanya - her from all the other dramas whose name i dont know popping up again? different school uniforms?
it was all very odd.
