Welcome to a hectic world of sexual adventures triumphs love scams and a fair bit of crime on a rough Manchester housing estate where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen. Titles Comprise: Series 1: Blisteringly funny offbeat drama following the rollercoaster lives and loves of an anarchic family from Manchester. Meet the Gallaghers. Mum went AWOL years ago Dad stayed at home with the six children only to hit the bottle. And sometimes the kids… The real head of the family is big sister Fiona (20) who looks after Carl (11) Debbie (9) and baby Liam (3). She is occasionally helped more often hindered by reluctant virgin ‘Lip’ (16) and the actively gay but very private Ian (15). Series 2: Seven months on from the first series and Manchester’s favourite son Frank Gallagher is expecting another addition to the clan this time with his agoraphobic lover Sheila. On the back of a fiddled insurance claim the Gallagher children have extended their home into the house next door. Underage Ian’s married Muslim lover Kash is being pressured by wife Yvonne to have ‘thermometer sex’ to inseminate her. Meanwhile loved up next-door neighbours Veronica and Kev have their own family crisis with Veronica’s rampant mum Carol and troubled brother Marty living with the Gallaghers since Marty burnt their house down. Series 3: The critically acclaimed and brilliantly funny drama from award-winning writer Paul Abbott features the Chatsworth Estate’s Gallaghers probably the UK’s most dysfunctional family. Head of the family Frank embarks on a series of adventures with his remarkably well-balanced children Fiona Lip Ian Debbie Carl and Liam – not forgetting the other two with Frank’s valium-fuelled lover Sheila. Series 4: Frank is sent into a spin when mum Monica turns up claiming to be back for good. Surely the house is not big enough for her and Sheila? Lip is juggling with parenting and Ian is looking for love. Carl is busy on a secret crime spree while Debbie decides to interview potential boyfriends. Carol is still having trouble keeping her legs and mouth shut while Kash is happy screwing the council. Meanwhile the Maguires have moved in next door. After a stint in prison Jamie Maguire returns and sparks fly with barmaid Karen. Series 5: The multi-award winning Shameless is back with a bang – and a sizzle when Frank accidentally urinates on a generator electrocuting his privates. In series five things turn from bad to worse when in hospital he’s told he has a heart condition and doesn’t have long to live. Meanwhile Lip returns home from University and is followed closely by his new girlfriend much to Mandy’s dismay. And he’s not the only one with relationship issues: Ian very nearly finds love Carl continues with his sexploits and the quiet outsider Debbie surprises everyone by falling head over heels. The Gallagher family look set to grow when Monica falls pregnant; it’s just as well they’re keeping the numbers up see. Series 6: Head of the family in name only is Dad Frank – a feckless charmless self-pitying unemployed bully – a model father. Since mum went AWOL dad hit the bottle leaving his six remarkably well-balanced children Fiona Lip Ian Debbie Carl and Liam to fend for themselves.
