Wed 1 BBC1
Waterloo Road is not a pleasing place today. Not one bit. Travellers have arrived and, being the charitable force that he is, Eddie has decided to enroll them at school. Sadly for us, the central character, scouse Kyle, is exceptionally irritating. His 'spontaneous' poem, a cause for much swooning by silly Sambuca, made me cringe until my face actually hurt. Hurt! The first fourty minutes, constructed around said gypsies, were excrutiating. Thankfully, though, the ever-reliable Janeece provided some relief from the 'skags', as phrased so eloquently by Paul, by parading her new assets around college, much to Kim's annoyance.
The show feels like it's hurting from something right now. It'll be interesting to see where they take it later in the season, with the divine Davina, preposterously-underused of late, departing soon. Surely she and Tom can't split? Hopefully she'll be killed off (she is my favourite!). Leaving in a cab for Spain or America, the only two locations characters ever leave for, would be immensely unsatisfying.
