Your Reviews - Series Four
Episode 4.2
I feel so sorry for Rachel - Eddie is making moves on her sister! After all Rachel has been through. If Eddie really did like her then he would understand and give her time to find her place again. Steph's lie was absolutely hilarious. It is the typical spur of the moment lie and it adds some funny things to the series. The security guard, Dave, certainly made his intentions clear! Very in-your-face, to say the least! This episode was great. Maxine and Earl seem VERY friendly though... that will be interesting...

I love Waterloo Road, and have done since the first series. I am already intrigued by this series, and that’s just from seeing the first episode. It looks like it is going to be amazing, and I can’t wait to see some of the immense storylines that the writers have come up with this year. The new characters look amazing, and I am also very pleased as it will take me up to the end of my GCSE's :)

I love Waterloo Road and was ecstatic when I dropped thursday nights at work as i was able to watch it. Then you changed it to Wednesdays when the new series started :( The Kellys are amazing to watch and I love bad boy Earl. This series is by far the best series yet. Earl Kelly beats Lewis Seddon hands down. Maybe Lewis and Earl should meet??

I love Waterloo Road. The storylines and acting are excellent!! I don't like the Kelly family though, especially Rose and Earl. I think that there has been a lot of focus on Rachel because the last series finished with her still in the building. I like the new teacher Melissa. It’s nice for Rachel to have some support.

Episode 2 was good but not as good as the first episode which I can understand, but for me as a child, there was too much about adults and teachers and not enough about the pupils. I think you should carry on the storyline between Earl, Paul and Bolton as that is a really good one. Carry on with the good work. I can’t wait for the next episode :)

I loved the first two episodes of Waterloo Road. If the rest of the series is as good as these two episodes, I can’t wait! Eva Pope is a brilliant actress, as is Denise Welch – loving the Steph/Dave storyline! I felt sorry for Janeece at the end of the episode when Maxine left her on her own to stay at Earl’s. Brilliant start to the series!!!

I began watching Waterloo Road during the second series. I have got to say: "Fantastic!" I'm a teacher in a secondary school. Waterloo Road reflects a lot of realities in the ordinary lives of the kids, parents', teachers and society. The very first episode I watched had be glued to the TV (normally I'm on the pc working); it's fast pace and action combined a superb script made excellent dramatic viewing! Well done for producing something worthwhile watching! Excellent!

I miss Brett and Mika - I know they’re too old for the school but things are just not the same without them! It's good to see surviving characters from the 1st series still in - Chlo, Grantly, Mr Clarkson, Miss Haydock and Janeece :D

I thought the first episode of Waterloo Road was fantastic - it certainly come back with a definite purpose after so many months of waiting! However, as much as I enjoyed the second week's episode, I thought it skipped a bit. The gun storyline was dropped fairly suddenly and everything that happened last week didn’t really follow on. However, hopefully it'll be picked up in the upcoming episodes - after all, there's 18 more to go! Can't wait!

I am really happy that Rachel is okay because she's my favourite Waterloo Road character. Eva Pope is a great actress. Yet things seem to be uphill for Rachel at the moment and I am hoping so much that she stays in the programme. Eddie needs to stop concentrating on Rachel’s sister!

Great start for the new term though it only focused on Rachel being hurt in the fire no one else. Good to see Chlo and Donte back together.

Episode two was way good! The Kellys are great! Felt sorry for Rachel though when she saw Eddie and Melissa getting cosy. And how hot is Bolton? Looking forward to this boxing storyline :)!

I would like to know if there is a follow up on the first episode re: the boy who brought a gun into school. I feel this needs to be addressed further because it is telling young people to keep quiet and not to tell. As far as I know, the young person in question has got away with inappropriate behaviour. Is this a message you want to give to young people? I work in a special school for 11-16 year olds. The students at my school primarily have learning difficulties and some associated emotional/behavioural needs. At the moment, there is a gang culture in the city of Derby. Although the first episode did address the problem of young people with guns, the wrong person was punished. Will the young person in question be punished? This needs to be seen to happen. I would like to add that at the moment I am enjoying this programme. Well done!

I love Waterloo Road, it's the best. I watch it every week and have watched every series. Must say, teacher Steph and Security Dave totally don't go together but it is a funny storyline. Hope there are more brilliant episodes like the first one. Good luck to all the actors and actresses for future series.

I started watching a year ago. I'm from Canada and watched on the BBC Canada network. Unfortunately, your show has been recently taken off and I miss it like you miss family members. My Monday nights have not been the same. I hope that it will return to Canada soon, because of the BBC I will never watch American television again! Your style of television programming is for real people living in real-life.

I look forward to watching every week. Definitely the best programme on TV and it’s also a show that every person I know enjoys! Chlo and Donte back together has to be the best thing about the new series. It just wasn’t right when they were apart!

I think the new series is really good. I do think you should try to make it more realistic though, as fires and guns are not really everyday happenings where I come from. I do believe it’s good to show issues though. Well Done.
