There are new kids in town when the Barry family arrives at Waterloo Road led by their hard as nails matriarch Carol. There's Dynasty dressed to kill and capable of it; Kacey a girl with the kick of a pro-footballer and Barry Barry (so bad they named him twice) a smiling charmer who's greatest ability is to spell trouble for Waterloo Road. It promises to be a hard year all round as Head Teacher Michael may face trial for the assisted death of his father; Chalky is set to become a foster parent to the doubting Kevin; Christine struggles to remain sober while keeping Imogen and Connor apart; and Sian is trying to keep it all together while about to face a challenge all of her own. For the most struggling kids there's help in sight with a new Pupil Referral Unit for vulnerable underachievers like Phoenix Rhiannon and Jodie. Nikki Boston is running the unit with a chip on her shoulder and a reason to crush Jodie's spirit - but it could be the wrong girl to pick on for the wrong reason. Throw in a couple of young lottery winners a much-loved teacher with a new found weakness and wedding bells at the last minute for an on-again/off-again couple and it all adds up to one of the most exciting terms yet for the new-look Waterloo Road.

The Krays: Gary and Martin Kemp star in this brutally stark account of the absolute rulers of London's East End underworld through their reign of terror in the 1950's and 1960's. Their power was born from fear their respect demanded by brutality so horrific that eventually even their own turned against them. Chinks begin to appear in the seemingly impregnable armour of 'The Krays' and London breathed a sigh of relief in 1969 as they were sentenced to 30 years each thus marking the end of their bloody career. Bronson: In 1974 a misguided 19 year old decided he wanted to make a name for himself and so armed with a sawn-off shotgun and a head full of dreams he attempted to rob a post office. Swiftly apprehended and originally sentenced to 7 years in jail Michael Peterson has subsequently been behind bars for 34 years and transformed into Charles Bronson Britain's most notorious prisoner. For this controversial but critically acclaimed film from director Nicolas Winding Refn (the Pusher trilogy) Tom Hardy physically transformed himself for the role and gives a performance described by The Sun as utterly brilliant.
