Ackley Bridge

Ackley
Bridge is a small Yorkshire town, home to largely divided white and Asian
populations. The two sides of the community have been previously served by
separate schools. However, as the formerly isolated comprehensives are merged
into a brand new academy, the lives and cultures of each community collide,
giving us a gritty, truthful and humorous insight into modern Britain.
“The show is particularly adept at balancing those darker moments with a lovely lightness of tone, occasionally breaking out a musical interlude and tackling its teenage love stories with sensitivity and heart, most notably Muslim Nas’s tenderly handled coming out.”
