Adam Thomas issued somewhat of a double apology to fans as he tried to record a message following the first episode of Waterloo Road. The new revival series began on BBC One on Tuesday night (January 3) after the return of the much-loved, school-based series was announced in 2021.
The new era of Waterloo Road, which is currently available to binge-watch on BBC iPlayer, features original cast members and famous faces including Adam, who has reprised the role of former bad boy pupil-turned-parent Donte Charles, Angela Griffin as new head teacher Kim Campbell, and Kym Marsh who has joined the much-loved show as Nicky Walters, a school canteen worker and mum to two pupils.
The new series marks Waterloo Road's first return to screens in almost eight years after it was axed. The hit show was filmed at Hill Top Primary School in Rochdale before relocating to Scotland and ran from 2006 to 2015. And the reboot has seen the team return to Greater Manchester.
