Ackley Bridge..
Currently re-watching this C4 series (from the creators of Shameless).... It follows the lives of a Yorkshire mill town, who are affected by a merger (due to funding cuts) of two schools in a largely segregated British and Asian community. Filled with thought-provoking topics of racism, poverty, bullying, sexuality and violence, this drama is based on real life cases of schools that have merged. The headmistress of Ackley Bridge College deals with never ending problems and explosive fall-outs as the prejudicial and cultural issues clash between pupils, staff and parents. At times funny yet heartbreaking - recommended if you can track it down. Three series so far - the Covid-19 delayed 4th due to be aired later this year, hence the re-watch
