Waterloo Road is a British TV drama that premiered on BBC One on March 9, 2006. Initially, the series was based in a struggling comprehensive school in Rochdale, England, but in 2012, the setting shifted to the old Greenock Academy in Greenock, Scotland. The show delves into the personal and professional lives of the school’s staff and students, tackling various social issues like infidelity, abortion, divorce, child abuse, and suicide. The series is produced by Shed Productions, the same company behind Bad Girls and Footballers’ Wives.
