ACKLEY BRIDGE, Series 1 (Exclusive U.S. Premiere)

An original new British series set in a 50/50 multicultural school in West Yorkshire, Ackley Bridge offers a character-driven, gritty, funny, truthful, and mischievous angle into the daily drama of the teachers, teenagers and families whose lives and cultures collide in a fictional 21st century Northern town. With the modern British family at its heart, the series explores its glorious dysfunctionality and provides an authentic account of the very real issues that emerge from a modern so called 'community'. Combining sharp wit with emotional storylines, big characters and contemporary view of multi-cultural teenage life - the show promises smiles, laughs and tears. The series is set in Ackley Bridge, a Yorkshire town which has a large white community and a large Asian community - which don't mix but now merge into one school. Will the new academy sink, swim... or implode? (6 EPS)
