Waterloo Station (TV series)
- Waterloo Station (TV series)
"Waterloo Station" is an Australian television series produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation for the Nine Network in 1983.
The cast included Ron Graham, Sally Tayler, Danny Roberts, John Bonney, Jenny Ludlam, Bartholomew John, Steven Grives and Andrew Clarke.
"Waterloo Station" was an attempt by Grundy's to reproduce for Channel Nine the success of their earlier shows "The Restless Years" and "Sons and Daughters" which focused on youth and family situations. Like Crawford Productions' successful police show "Cop Shop", "Waterloo Station" combined police procedural and domestic storylines involving the police personnel and their families. It focused on two sisters, both married to policemen, and their adult children starting careers in the police force. It was set around a police station, and a police training academy in Sydney, and a large boarding house provided accommodation for various other youngsters in the series.
The series failed to find favour with viewers and was axed after 52 episodes. Andrew Clarke, Danny Roberts and Sally Tayler all subsequently found greater success as regular cast members of the soap opera "Sons and Daughters". A few months after "Waterloo Station" Grundy launched "Starting Out" which featured youthful characters attempting to enter the "medical" profession. This series was similarly short-lived.
