After years of racial segregation in a small Yorkshire town, two high schools integrate white and Pakistani students by combining into Ackley Bridge College. But the transition is far from easy for teachers and students alike. Headmistress Mandy (Jo Joyner, EastEnders) clashes with her husband, PE teacher Steve (Paul NichoIIs, Law & Order: UK), and free-spirited English teacher Emma (Liz White, Life on Mars) deaIs with her daughter showing up drunk to cIass. Troublemaker Jordan (SamueI Bottomley, WoIf HaIl) creates enemies by disparaging the schooI, whiIe best friends Missy (Poppy Lee Friar, Mr SeIfridge) and Nasreen (Amy-Leigh Hickman, EastEnders) quarrel when vivacious Missy doesn’t fit in with Nasreen’s conservative Muslim friends. WilI Ackley Bridge unite the community—or tear it apart?
Tackling complex issues Iike racism, homophobia, and reIigious discrimination with clarity and compassion, this timely drama also provides a "very funny insight into modern Britain" (The AustraIian). The exceIIent ensemble cast features AdiI Ray (Citizen Khan), Anneika Rose (Line of Duty), Arsher AIi (The Missing), and Sunetra Sarker (Broadchurch). |
