It looks as though Waterloo Road (which bills itself as a "Contemporary drama series set in a challenging comprehensive school") is including a TG storyline in the current series.
From the synopsis of tonight's episode (already available on iPlayer): "A shy and effeminate year 12 pupil is branded a 'perv' when he is caught poring over a lingerie magazine - but the truth is far more complicated than Chris imagines." (Judging by the cast list, Chris is probably Christopher Mead, Deputy Head)
There's also a YouTube clip: "Chants of 'freak' from his fellow pupils results in an emotional outburst from Martin."

Excellent
Strong storylines, well acted, especially by the kids - some of the adults are a bit wooden, but the girl with the brain tumour and the GID boy, were very good.

If someone can invent a way to watch this in the US...
I am hooked. And would pay to be able to watch it. If someone can record the epi and put it on a DVD that I can watch, it is worth a tenner, Amercian to me. Surely there has to be a work around for this problem?
