As has become Christmas tradition, we're picking a loosely school-based film to chat about. We've gone for American Pie because Luke wants me to have an aneurysm about the shift away from family-friendly content. We go through the classic 1990s comedy and assess the elements that have aged badly, as well as the stuff that's still very, very funny indeed.

Our beloved Waterloo Road superfans sent us so many emails that our climactic mailbag has to spread out over multiple episodes. This week, a dedicated listener finally sorts out the tangled timeline of the reboot series and there's a startling, scientific addition to the socks on versus socks off discussion.

We asked and you've responded in the best way possible. So much so that our farewell to the original series of Waterloo Road will have to stretch across multiple episodes. In this one, we talk about the Kevin and Dynasty relationship as well as pondering plenty of future podcast options and even discussing merch.
