Strength To Strength: Waterloo Road

[Bryan]

BBC America has signed up to be a co-producer of Waterloo Road and plans to begin airing the show in the US beginning in June.

The move was revealed when BBC Worldwide's US channel announced plans to co-produce Robin Hood, Jekyll and Low Winter Sun with a view to bolstering its drama output later this year and during 2007.

New education drama Waterloo Road has been recommissioned for a second series.

BBC drama controller Jane Tranter has ordered 12 more episodes of the Rochdale-based show, a 50% increase on the first series of eight - four of which are still to air.

The drama has pulled in solid numbers for BBC One in its Thursday 8pm slot, with an average of 4.8 million viewers each week.

A spokeswoman for production company Shed told DS: We're delighted with the success of the first series so far and we're thrilled to have a second series commissioned."
