When is BBC Waterloo Road on? Start date as drama returns after eight years

BBC drama Waterloo Road is returning to the BBC after being axed in 2015. The school-based drama ran from 2006 to 2015 and now it's about to make it's long-awaited comeback.

Fans were gutted when the show was cancelled and many were very happy to see the news that the show would be returning to help ‘boost drama production skills’ in northern England, as the show will be set and filmed in Greater Manchester.

The BBC said: “Waterloo Road will use its rich history of telling entertaining and gripping human stories while tackling the important issues of the day."
