Janeece (Chelsee Healey) takes matters into her own hands

Janeece becomes embroiled in a complicated mother-and-daughter struggle leading to a dramatic showdown at Waterloo Road, as the popular drama continues. Elsewhere, a dangerous attraction begins as Cesca tutors Jonah in Spanish lessons, and Grantly's increasingly dishevelled appearance draws attention among staff and pupils.

When Janeece picks up Year 10 pupil Billie Taylor on her way to school, she notices that Billie's mother, Laura, is acting as primary carer for Billie's baby, Brook. Concerned that Laura is trying to take the baby away from Billie, Janeece takes matters into her own hands – against the advice of Chris and Adanna. Events spiral out of control between mother and daughter and it becomes difficult to tell who has the baby's best intentions at heart...

Meanwhile, staff and pupils alike are beginning to notice Grantly's unkempt appearance, spurring Ruby and Tom into action with a cleverly planned, covert clean-up operation.

Elsewhere at Waterloo Road, Jonah receives some tutoring from Cesca and discovers that he is the only student to attend her lunchtime Spanish lessons. It's an extra-curricular activity that unearths a dangerous attraction.

Janeece is played by Chelsee Healey, Cesca by Karen Brown, Jonah by Lucien Laviscount, Grantly by Philip Martin Brown, Billie by Nadine Mulkerrin, Laura by Jo Hartley, Chris by William Ash, Adanna by Sharlene Whyte, Ruby by Elizabeth Berrington and Tom by Jason Done.

Waterloo Road is simulcast in HD on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã One HD channel – available through Freesat channel 108, Freeview channel 50, Sky channel 43 and Virgin Media Channel 108.

Madagascar – Island Of Marvels Ep 1/3

Wednesday 9 February

8.00-9.00pm Ö÷²¥´óÐã TWO and Ö÷²¥´óÐã HD (Schedule addition 26 January)

David Attenborough tells the story of one of the most intriguing wild places on Earth, Madagascar, in this fascinating new three-part series. "This is the story of what happens when a set of animals and plants are cast away on an island for millions of years. This is how this curious wonderland came into being," he explains.

In splendid isolation, Madagascar has evolved its very own, quite extraordinary wildlife – more than 80 per cent of it is found nowhere else.

The stars are the lemurs – Madagascar's own primates. The indris, the size of a small child, leap like gymnasts among rainforest trees. Crowned lemurs scamper around Madagascar's weirdest landscape – the razor-sharp limestone tsingy, which looks like something from another planet. And sifakas, ghostly white lemurs, leap upright on their back legs, moving like ballerinas across the forest floor.

Male red giraffe-necked weevils use their necks to fight each other, while the females use their necks and beefy thighs to build leaf nests with the complexity of origami. Chameleons stalk the forests, and none is more intriguing than the pygmy chameleon, the world's smallest reptile, which delicately courts a female in its giant world.

Filmed for the first time for TV, and possibly never before observed in the wild, a spider hauls an empty snail shell, 30 times its own weight, up into a bush to use as a shelter from the heat. And the fearsome fossa, Madagascar's only big mammal predator, looks for a mate – 15 metres up a tree.

Many of Madagascar's wild landscapes and species are under threat of disappearing for ever. David concludes: "It's only in the last few decades that we've really started to appreciate this curious land. Let's hope it's not too late."

The behind-the-scenes Madagascar Diaries shows the challenges of filming the reed lemur in the middle of Madagascar's biggest lake.

Madagascar is simulcast on the award-winning Ö÷²¥´óÐã HD channel – the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's High Definition channel available through Freesat channel 109, Freeview channel 54, Sky channel 169 and Virgin Media channel 187.
