Shameless goings-on

THE Gallaghers, the Maguires and the rest of the unruly, roguish residents of the Chatsworth Estate have once again opened their doors to the public, as the multi-award-winning Shameless Series 7 and Series 1-7 Box Set is released on 4DVD on Monday, May 17.

The 16-part series sees the welcome return of the charmingly chaotic families and their outrageous activities in and around the Manchester estate that they call home.

Frank Gallagher (David Threlfall) begins a fervent romance with local Librarian Libby, played by Shameless newcomer Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, Jam & Jerusalem). Libby’s passion for romantic literature wakes in Frank something that has been dormant for so long – before her mum Patty (Valerie Lilley - The Catherine Tate Show) arrives and threatens to put a spanner in the works.

Eight months on from the tragic loss of Mandy, the Maguire family are preparing to welcome a new addition to the clan, a baby son for Karen (Rebecca Atkinson) and Jamie Maguire (Aaron McCusker).

The Jockey’s got a new landlady – Mimi Maguire (Tina Malone) - so Patrick (Sean Gilder) has to come to terms with their separate living arrangements. While Kelly (Sally Carman) takes her new godparent duties to the extreme, boyfriend Shane Maguire (Nicky Evans) gets involved with wedding scams – before thinking about a wedding of his own.

Micky Maguire (Ciaran Griffiths) and Ian Gallagher (Gerard Kearns) now share a bungalow together, residing as the perfect odd couple.
