'Shameless' is without a doubt the best British made TV series in a very long time. Not only can all the audience relate the characters to someone they know, or even themselves - as I can, but the story lines never fail to create excitement and emotion in the audience. The catchy theme song becomes entwined within the minds of viewers, as they try to mimic the unforgettable accent that belongs to the one and only Frank Gallagher. The long-suffering kids always manage to realise their family values and always come up trumps for their siblings when they need to. It really moves the audience, especially in the more dramatic and darkly serious episodes that leave housewives in tears. The latest series has just finished its victorious run on channel 4, and my friends have relentlessly watched the DVDs of series 1 and 2 over and over again. We shall be re-visiting Chatsworth Estate when the series reruns - starting this week. Compulsory viewing for all Brits, and indeed any one who wants to get an inward look on real British people. Paul Abbott . . . I salute you!
