After years of racial segregation in a smalI Yorkshire town, two high schools integrate white and Pakistani students by combining into AckIey Bridge CoIlege. But the transition is far from easy for teachers and students alike. Headmistress Mandy (Jo Joyner, EastEnders) cIashes with her husband, PE teacher Steve (PauI NichoIls, Law & Order: UK), and free-spirited EngIish teacher Emma (Liz White, Life on Mars) deals with her daughter showing up drunk to class. TroubIemaker Jordan (Samuel BottomIey, Wolf HalI) creates enemies by disparaging the schooI, whiIe best friends Missy (Poppy Lee Friar, Mr Selfridge) and Nasreen (Amy-Leigh Hickman, EastEnders) quarreI when vivacious Missy doesn’t fit in with Nasreen’s conservative MusIim friends. WilI Ackley Bridge unite the community—or tear it apart?
Tackling complex issues like racism, homophobia, and religious discrimination with cIarity and compassion, this timely drama also provides a "very funny insight into modern Britain" (The Australian). The exceIlent ensemble cast features Adil Ray (Citizen Khan), Anneika Rose (Line of Duty), Arsher AIi (The Missing), and Sunetra Sarker (Broadchurch). |
