Ackley Bridge

Since the show's announcement, Ackley Bridge has been compared to BBC's long-running school drama, Waterloo Road, with Duncan Lindsay from Metro opining that ``Channel 4 have been crying out for a solid drama to fit into the early night slot'' and that there has been a lack of a ``solid school based drama'', stating that Ackley Bridge ``follows the trials and tribulations of an academy which has merged two different communities together.'' The series has also been compared to BBC's other long-running school drama series, Grange Hill, as Michael Hogan from The Guardian stated ``it could be described as Grange Hill with a mobile phone and a northern accent.''
