Did anyone else notice the continuity error in Waterloo Road when the new Head Teacher was giving Budgen a row in her office?

The door was closed when she started, open halfway through and then closed again when she was leaving the office Confused

I thought it was quite comical myself.

Do I take it from this, that what we, in England and Wales, would call next Thursday's episode of Waterloo Road, has already been shown in Scotland?

The headmistress hasn't taken over yet in the episodes we've seen down here. All we've seen of her, so far, is a brief glimpse in the closing seconds of last Thursday's episode.

Oh yeah sorry I forgot it was shown in Thurs elsewhere. Well at least you know to look out for it. I was shocked at how obvious it was and that it was allowed to go on tape.

How come Scotland get Waterloo Road a few days ahead rather than a few days (weeks, or years) behind as they do with most other network programmes?


Is anything else shown in Scotland prior to the rest of the network?

Probabaly because its a BBC Scotland programme even though its set in Rochdale.

I hate how the BBC randomly assign programmes just to fulfil the relevant regional quota.

More to the point, why does every BBC drama have to be set "up North"? Hardly about regional quotas if you think about it.

Because nothing happens in Bideford.

But the BBC are suggesting nothing happens anywhere in the South, apart from in Holby and Walford.

Right about Bideford though!

well apart from london and bristol, the largest ten conurbations are all in the midlands, north and scotland, so not that surprising really.

Surely that's the majority of BBC drama nowadays?
