Waterloo Road will be returning to screens in January 2023 after it was announced earlier this year that BBC was bringing the school drama back.
Waterloo Road originally ran from 2006 until 2015.
The show focused on the lives of the school’s students and teachers inside and outside of school.
However some truly ridiculous things happened during the course of the series.
Here are the stupidest things that happened on the show.
1. Moving Waterloo Road to Scotland
The first one will be a pretty obvious one to Waterloo Road fans.
But for those of you who forgot (or simply don’t know) the show was originally set and filmed in Rochdale.
They filmed the first seven series’ at a former primary school.
However for the eighth series it was announced that the show was being relocated to Greenock in Scotland.
According to the BBC, this was to “increase network programming from Scotland,” which makes sense.
But what didn’t make sense was how it was handled on-screen.
Instead of just relocating filming, they relocated the school on the show to make sure the scenery changes didn’t throw off viewers!
Headteacher Michael Byrne was visited by his former pupil Lorraine Donnegan.
