One of the best series ever on TV, imho. The DVDs are well worth getting - and there's a new series in the pipeline apparently. I worked with David Threlfall on his forthcoming film incidentally, and he's nothing like Frank!
A great show... Funny and touching at the same time without anything too cutsy.

(Sorry to hijack Horace but rather than put up another thread. The director that did this I think also did something on BBC 1 about a politican who's mistress was murdered and the journalists who investigated the story which I also rather liked. I don't suppose you know what that was called do you?)

sorry china doll cant help with that one.i just cant believe how realistic frank is of the local alcoholics on our council estate.
Ah well, just a thought. I'll post a question later.

Well if I'm remembering correctly, I'm sure I read an interview with the Director and that Shameless is actually based on his life growing up on an estate... with a few embellishments no doubt... which would explain why it is so realistic.
