Advantages: very funny, great storylines

Disadvantages: none

Totally love this programme, been watching shameless from the very first episode and although it's not quite as good as when it first started it's still top notch comedy/drama not to be missed.

Shameless is set on a rough manchester council estate called chatsworth estate. The programme is mainly centred around the gallagher family, who are a family i wouldn't want living nextdoor to me that's for sure. Head of the family Frank Gallagher is a loveable unemployed waster who spends his days living off state benifits and drinking himslef into oblivion. Frank also has six children, Fiona(18), Lip(16), Carl(12), Liam(6), Ian(15), and Debbie(10). It's left to Franks oldest daughter Fiona to bring up the other kids as Frank is almost alway intoxicated and Sheila, the mother of the family disappeared years ago and hasn't been seen since. We follow the lives of this family through everyday life as they struggle, scam and basiclly do whatever it take to get by.


This is one family that has to be seen to be believed. Shameless is a wonderfully gritty and compelling take on everyday life living in a rough council estate in manchester. This is also a very funny programme and i have found myself almost crying with laughter at some of the episodes.

Shameless has been running for 6 series now and i believe they are filming the 7th series as i write this. If you have never seen this programme i recomend renting or buying them on dvd, series 1-6 are all available now.


This programme has a brilliant cast of actors some who are very young but all play there parts perfectly, some of them have gone on to much bigger things (Anne-Marie Duff, James McAvoy).

All in all this is a great show that should be seen by everyone and by everyone i mean people over 16 as this programme has alot of sex, drugs, drinking and very colourfull language.

Long may this show continue 5/5 stars.

Summary: very funny programme set on a rough council estate in manchester
