Milan,

It’s called “comedy”. I don’t think they have an equivalent in Europe.

Top stuff!

Watched all first series, but been out of channel 4 range since then.

heres the C4 blurb

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 seventh kid on the way with Frank's valium-fuelled lover, Sheila.

Shameless is packed with sex, drugs, gratuitous violence, love and scams. Chaos ensues with more tales of how one extraordinary family goes about its normal everyday life.

They do.
Frequently.
And have the bloody cheek to charge a licence fee for stuff I already paid to see the past 10 years over.

Not quite so brazen as Murdoch though - he charges £40 a month or more for endless repeats of all sorts of tulipe, more hours of grainy WW2 footage than the actuality, a few naff films, and 24 hours of sport for couch potatoes who'd have a heart attack if they ever got off their lard and kicked a ball (for some just getting off their lard would do it)
