We're answering a big question on our latest Waterloo Road rewind podcast: have we bigged up the Jack O'Connell episode too much?

We've now moved into series two in our rewatch of the good, the bad, and the ugly from Waterloo Road history. This time around, we're discussing the worst episode of series two, in which a student teacher causes problems in the school.

Now that we've finished Waterloo Road, we thought it would be fun to go right back to the start and take another look at that opening episode. Does it play any differently after five years of talking about this absurd show every week? Does Luke have a new love for the genius of BBC classroom drama? We also talk endlessly about our respective weddings, if that's your jam.
