Drop everything because it's time to return to the Waterloo Road reboot. Jason Manford makes his grand entrance in this opening episode and Joe Casey finds himself a long way out of his depth thanks to a staff mutiny against his difficult first day as headteacher. Waterloo Road superfan Tom Beasley and Luke Stevenson are your hosts, as always.
