Ackley Bridge - C4

[TheSecondOfHerName]

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

The hologram thing was just a bit of artistic license, an easy way for the director to show us that they were tweeting rather than have the character vocalise 'and now I am going to post my mother's topless shot on Twitter'.

Ahh, I see.

I found it all so unbelievable, very disappointing.

Might just watch for PN. He's still lovely

I did wonder about the holograms because they also write the texts on the screen but its just pretentious crap imo

Paul Nicholls still looks hot.

Did anyone watch that programme a few years ago about Northern nurses called No Angels? It starred both blonde headteacher woman and dinner lady/mum from last night.

The accent from
The mum / dinnerlady was awful. Hate her usual accent too though.

The mum/ teacher who had her boobs all over twitter, what has she been in before? She looked so familiar.

I loved No Angels. Great Northern Soul soundtrack.

Boob teacher was the WPC in Life On Mars.

She was also in call the midwife

of course, she was liz and got off with the lovely John simm! how i miss that programme - phillip glenister is a crush of mine.
i hate when i see people and i dont know who they are or what they were in before. and cant be bothered to look it all up either!

I quite like it. Lots of familiar faces in it. Star from Eastenders too and the woman who was in children's ward all those years ago!

She was also in call the midwife

Ah yes! The thalidomide story line. That was so moving.

I really liked it, much more than Waterloo road. Some of the young actors were very good. Ds (14)! loved it too. I thought there were some good storylines such as the little clique of girls in hijabs looking down their nose at Missy and pressuring Nas to ignore her. Nas is really stuck in the middle. It can be really hard being a liberal Muslim kid when your friends are much more conservative.

She was also in the My Zoo (?) programme with the lovely Lee Inglewood.
I liked it ok, I don't want believable I want entertaining DDs school is worse

Never heard of 'reverting' - that is weird

I thought it was very like Waterloo Road. Load of nonsense but but will probably watch again.

I wasn't concentrating enough as I didn't understand what was going on with the lad who was causing trouble. Maybe it was because they'd edited the programme that it seemed disjointed.

Watching on catch up. Meh.

It's ok but nothing new. They've got a checklist of "issues" and they're just gonna work their way through them: religion, single parent families, drug taking an see them moving into forced marriage, FGM etc.

Did anyone watch that programme a few years ago about Northern nurses called No Angels? It starred both blonde headteacher woman and dinner lady/mum from last night.

I watched it on the strength of that. I was disappointed on the whole.

It's set in a multicultural secondary school in Halifax. As someone who worked as a teacher in a multicultural secondary school in Halifax the more I think about this programme, the more I hate it.

I'll give it another go this but, wasn't impressed

The muslim muns accent is awful i cringe when i hear it. And the baby storyline ...oh dear

I thought this week's episode was better than last week's but it's crashingly unrealistic.

The gormless nosey Parker in the school office is particularly annoying - I work in a secondary school office and we're lucky if we get time to fart let alone waft about gawking and eavesdropping at other members of staff!
