Author: codebreaker Time: 12-28-2010 08:22 Subject: Shameless (UK) (Channel 4) General Discussion (Spoilers)
Shameless (UK) Premiered on Channel 4 on January 26, 2004
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).
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.

I loved the reference to Brookside and Myra Hindley after Sheila orders a conservatory for her backyard, but doesn't bargain on the builders excavating for the foundations - forcing her to tell Frank her first husband is buried under the patio and Veronica's money-making idea of taking the gold from the body was diabolical
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 08:18 Subject: Season 4 Episode 1
I cant believe Lip's was celebrating his 18th birthday a year late thanks to his parents and the baby that Marty brought back pissing in Stan's tea was funny but the Maguire's tattooing their granddaughter was terrible, loved the ending with the Waltons style of saying goodnight
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 09:33 Subject: Season 4 Episode 2
Jamie naked sleepwalking in to Karen's room was amusing and what was Sheila thinking when she was giving her secrets on how to please Frank to Monica
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 10:56 Subject: Season 4 Episode 3
What was Frank thinking allowing Monica to get her claws into him, knowing what Sheila is like and then telling her he's still married to Monica was stupid but at leased he still has Monica

Who would of thought that Ian would sleep with a girl and Mandy lying to her dad to protect the Gallagher's was nice but Frank again dropped them in it
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 13:06 Subject: Season 4 Episode 5
You just knew the banter between Karen and Jamie would lead to a relationship but dinner with the Maguire's you would think she would run a mile and what were the Gallagher thinking about with Debbie having a boyfriend, Oh by the way Nelson the dog is another story
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 14:17 Subject: Season 4 Episode 6
Shane should of known better than to get Frank to drive the ice cream van but Lip's response after getting tasered was funny but making money from it afterwards was priceless and poor Carl catching his mother with Norma and then Frank
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 15:10 Subject: Season 4 Episode 7
Can you believe the explosions across the estate was done by a cop trying to stop his colleague from leaving and Lip in the gay bar looked at home but Frank about to do another runner for money but the Maguire's trying to blow a safe with play dow was priceless
Author: codebreaker Time: 12-31-2010 17:20 Subject: Season 4 Episode 8
Carl looked pleased when he realised Yvonne's daughter wasn't pregnant until Yvonne pointed out he must of got close but them Yvonne having her house repossessed because of Kash and having to move by the Gallagher's should be interesting and a nice end to the season with the singing at Karen's wedding

Author: codebreaker Time: 1-1-2011 04:53 Subject: Season 5 Episode 2
What an unusual story line with the snake eating Mimi's dog and how they managed to convince her the replacement dog was the same when it was missing a tattoo was impressive and I'm not surprised that Carl was upset when Ian started dating his teacher
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-1-2011 05:48 Subject: Season 5 Episode 3
I had to laugh when Ian and Jamie got locked in the cellar but i couldn't believe how much stock was take when Karen let them out and how can Paddy think by throwing Mimi a surprise party every year that she wouldn't guess
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-1-2011 07:04 Subject: Season 5 Episode 4

Carrie takes the rap for Stan after he knocking down an old lady because he should be wearing glasses was nice until the old lady decides to try and sue… and Norma helping Yvonne after she was intimidated by a bunch of girls was impressive

You kind of felt sorry for Shane when Kelly dumped him after being payed off by Paddy and Liam running away because of the forthcoming baby but i liked Ian's line (never raise your hand to your children because you leave your privates unprotected) well almost that but you can imagine what he said
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-1-2011 12:08 Subject: Season 5 Episode 7
That was classic when Mandy and Ian bet who could pull the fireman first but thing don't go to plan when Ian finds out they have the same father and who would think Carl would date a girl so he can sleep with her mum

Author: codebreaker Time: 1-1-2011 17:30 Subject: Season 5 Episode 10
That was obvious that Jamie's ex-cell mate Mark was going to get him in trouble but running away and leaving the money was stupid and I'm glad Karen went to Paddy to get him to confess, Carl boxing for Paddy was never going to end well but at leased he got paid
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-2-2011 14:53 Subject: Season 5 Episode 11
Trust Karen to use the battery from the smoke alarm for her vibrator and Ian letting the new guy get blamed for taking the money he took but stuffing the chicken that saved their lives was funny. Paddy using his gay twin Noel to escape a prison sentence was clever but Noel had the last laugh
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-2-2011 15:40 Subject: Season 5 Episode 12
Stan's cover story after Yvonne accidentally shot him was impressive but what a commotion to leave a spare pair of pants and Carl becoming a stripper was amusing

Mandy's practical joke on Karen after being persuaded to go on a blind date was amusing untill she thought the guy died after an E and sex but the girls dragging a heavy wheelie bin across the estate to get rid of his body was crazy
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-3-2011 13:37 Subject: Season 5 Episode 14
Carl asking Karen to teach him some new techniques to impress his latest girlfriend was amusing but Mandy trying to fool Tom she had found one of his mothers friends was disastrous
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-3-2011 13:38 Subject: Season 5 Episode 15
I cant believe Tom is arrested on suspicion of being the attacker after Debbie and him came across the woman first but because Debbie is underage she cant help him and what a showdown between Shane and Paddy over his new girlfriend but i was impressed with his apology until he pulled the gun, Carl not being able to get it up was amusing
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-3-2011 17:14 Subject: Season 5 Episode 16
Carl thinks he's getting lucky with the ladies while posing as a single parent with Katie but when Frank is taken to hospital he leaves her with the girl without knowing anything about her was stupid but thanks to Kelly they got Katie back
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-4-2011 17:09 Subject: Season 6 Episode 1
Frank and Monica hearing their new baby talking to them was amusing and Ian's second assault was horrible considering it was mistaken identity but the family thinking they can use the amnesia to make him straight was funny. It looks like Kelly was lying about the baby and Frank was impressive the way he handled the Tom situation
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-5-2011 02:38 Subject: Season 6 Episode 2
Karen and Jamie are feeling the pressure with the launch night of the newly redecorated Jockey looming and Karen stepping up when the strippers go booed of was amusing

What a wast of space Frank was on jury service until he thought he could make some money out of it but Mickey with his erotic story turning Carrie on while they were trapped and then she go's home to reenact the story until her guy put on his glasses to read was funny
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 07:33 Subject: Season 6 Episode 4
I'm not surprised that Monica is feeling neglected when her sexual advances are rejected by Frank but what he said was cruel but Karen and Mandy's bathroom conversation was amusing especially when Jamie misunderstood what he overheard
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 07:34 Subject: Season 6 Episode 5
The James Bond style start was great but what a horrible practical joke Tom played on Stan and poor Karen suffering a miscarriage when they didn't even know she was pregnant
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 09:14 Subject: Season 6 Episode 6
Tom creeping in to Debbie's bedroom with chocolates was a bit creepy and what was Frank thinking asking Monica to be nice to the benefit bloke and she was just as bad by going along with it. Paddy waking up to discover he can't remember where he is or how he got there but forcing him to take his own drugs was the ultimate payback for her daughters death
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 10:44 Subject: Season 6 Episode 7
That was sad news for Ian's stowaway passenger and I'm not surprised that Monica has done another runner but Debbie almost getting caught shoplifting and then getting locked in the shopping center was interesting
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 12:14 Subject: Season 6 Episode 8
What a state Paddy is in after his return and the Gallagher kids thinking they had inherited a new house was amusing but Kelly and Shane's scam was bound to end in tears

It's about time that Mimi found out about Paddy's addiction and what was Karen thinking by having a quickie with Mandy's guy but Kelly going to war over who will help aid Shane's recovery was nice
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 14:13 Subject: Season 6 Episode 10
That was a nice surprise when Liam got in to the new school and Lillian giving her son counterfeit money was amusing but Karen's life has just got worse since Joe has brought Jamie's half of the pub
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-6-2011 15:12 Subject: Season 6 Episode 11
I'm glad Jamie found out that Joe has been battering Mandy so he puts Joe in hospital but Mimi taking the wrap for him was nice but Mickey face when he walked in when Paddy was hiding the inside her was priceless
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-7-2011 01:31 Subject: Season 6 Episode 12
I'm not surprised that Ian is angry with Danny because he is responsible for Liam's absence school but the truth about how Danny lost his hearing which was sad until he got his revenge and some good advice from Frank to Mandy about Joe
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-7-2011 15:13 Subject: Season 6 Episode 13
It's been a long time coming but Liam and Stella taken into care all because the social worker tricked Debbie and i know what Karen did with Joe was wrong but the hospital scene i think was enough to put Joe in his place for what he has done to Mandy, everyone watching as Karen and Jamie makeup was funny
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-7-2011 16:02 Subject: Season 6 Episode 14
Things were going so well with the social worker until Frank's hormones kicked in and the way Debbie tricked the foster mother to get Liam and Stella back was impressive but i thought Yvonne and Tom thinking about killing Kash Dexter style was amusing until the shop fire which may of killed him

How embarrassing for the Gallagher when Frank is caught short at a wake and everyone watching him go to the toilet outside but Mimi putting a hit on Paddy and then going to confession with Frank in the other confessional box was interesting
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-7-2011 17:57 Subject: Season 6 Episode 16
It was only a matter of time before Paddy found the woman that drugged him but after finding the schoolgirl that had overdosed he had a different view but that was his biggest mistake when she killed Mandy, Chesney and Carl living it up was amusing
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-8-2011 11:38 Subject: Season 7 Episode 1
Joe may have delivered Karen's baby and be back in favour with the Maguire's but no thanks to him for not ringing the ambulance, i just wish someone would sort him out
Author: codebreaker Time: 1-8-2011 12:35 Subject: Season 7 Episode 2
Joe to the rescue again 
when Karen lost their baby and Carl's experiment in the bedroom shocks Maxine into retaliatory strap-on action! was funny but practicing with a party blower and loosing the end was priceless especially when the whistle went off with the slightest bit of wind. Mickey was great with the help of his cop friend in finding Paddy when he disappeared
