S5E3: It Tasted Like Sunlight

This week's Waterloo Road episode caused tabloid headlines when it was released back in 2009, thanks to a controversial plot about kids drinking ethanol. Tom Beasley and Luke Stevenson reflect on how the show handles such a potentially dangerous storyline, and also chat about Tom Clarkson's bizarre lack of parking skills.
