Trivias:
uncategorized: Elliott Tittensor, identical twin brother of Luke Tittensor (who plays Daz Eden in Emmerdale), took over the part of Carl on Shameless when Luke was no longer available because of the Emmerdale filming schedules.
uncategorized: Mark Mylod directed the first episode of both Shameless shows, the British one and its American remake.
uncategorized: The role of Frank was originally given to Sean Gallagher, but then it was thought he was too young to play the character. It cost makers Company Pictures £100,000 to re-shoot the scenes already filmed with David Threlfall as the replacement.

Plots:
The lives and relationships of a group of siblings and their estranged father Frank Gallagher on a rough Manchester estate.
The story of a young group of siblings pretty much abandoned by their parents, surviving by their wits - and humor - on a rough Manchester council estate. Whilst they won't admit it, they need help and find it in Steve, a young middle class lad who falls for Fiona, the oldest sibling, and increasingly finds himself drawn to this unconventional and unique family. Anarchic family life seen through the eyes of an exceptionally bright fifteen year old, who struggles to come of age in the context of his belligerent father, closeted brother, psychotic sister and internet porn star neighbors.
