Educating Yorkshire audiences ‘moved to tears’ in episode 1
Returning to Thornhill Community Academy after more than a decade, the new series had much to live up to. The first edition of Educating Yorkshire had a massive impact when it first aired in autumn 2013 - and even got a follow-up episode in summer 2014.
However, already a few viewers have been “moved to tears” after just one episode. The show will be broadcast on Sunday nights on Channel 4, starting yesterday (August 31).
A viewer wrote: “Educating Yorkshire absolutely broke my heart when Amy said she couldn’t find anything positive to say about herself. I hope she realises she’s a beautiful soul & realises her worth.” One added: “I hope she realises that too.”
Another echoed: “This little lassie has me in tears. She’s a little superstar.” One concurred: “Totally choked up at this.”
A viewer wrote: “I'm in tears. Poor Riley and Amy. My heart breaks for them.”
Speaking about Amy, a viewer added: “In the first 15 minutes of Educating Yorkshire I’ve already worked out that she’s got lots to be very proud of.”
