Waterloo Road: Difference between revisions

** {{spoiler|Anna Camp from ''[[True Blood]]''}}

** Philip Martin Brown. who was in ''[[The Professionals]]''.

* [[I Object]]: Donte and Chlo's first wedding.

* [[Katy Perry]]: Her music is sometimes used as background music.

** Miss Campbell.

** Later, Miss Mason, who is also a [[Stern Teacher]] and a [[Non-Giving-Up-School Guy|Non Giving Up School Person]].

* [[Real Life Relative]]: Steph and Dave the security guard are played by actors who are married to each other in real life.

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: a particularly ludicrous case. [[The BBC]] decided it needed to make more of its programmes in Scotland, including ''Waterloo Road''. So at the end of series 7 the local authority closes the school. Meanwhile a rich philanthropist and former pupil of headmaster Mr. Byrne has decided to set up a private but non-fee-paying school for local children in a deprived area near Glasgow...so Mr. Byrne decides to move there, along with most of the named teachers and even some of the pupils (the new school will have a boarding house). All this is about as realistic as an episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

* [[School Play]]: The aforementioned musical, which of course contains [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]].

* [[Sexy Schoolwoman]]: As yet averted. It looks wrong for the time slot (8pm) and the people who wear school uniforms are school-age characters, who don't do that sort of thing.

* [[Stern Teacher]]: Mr Treneman. On his first day, when he sees a pupil take another boy's bus pass in the queue for the school bus, he calls the police. He then introduces the "cooler" for those who misbehave.

* [[Stock Punishment]]: Mr. Budgen gets sponges thrown at him for a fair to raise money for Rwanda aid projects.
