Waterloo Road is back! We’re still gutted over the (spoiler alert) death of Chlo in the first season (which Angela Griffin failed to warn us about when we spoke to her). But that’s not going to stop us tuning in. The first episode launches on Tuesday 16th at 8pm, but we expect all episodes to be available on iPlayer.
