Shameless Series 5 (4DVD)
Series 5 sees the colourful characters of the Chatsworth Estate return with a bang! Dad Frank (David Threlfall) manages to sire another Gallagher baby, despite a nasty electrocution incident and a dodgy ticker. Debbie (Rebecca Ryan) is still holding the chaotic Gallagher fort and falling in love, while Mum Monica (Annabelle Apsion) takes a more hands-off approach to parenting. And with Lip (Jody Latham) away at Uni, Mandy (Samantha Siddall) finds life as a single parent strangely cathartic.
Elsewhere on the estate, counterfeit widow Yvonne (Kelli Hollis) moves in next door to the Gallaghers with her two teenage kids - and finds love calling from the most unexpected direction. Love triangle coppers Stan (Warren Donnelly), Carrie (Amanda Ryan) and Tom (Michael Legge) leave a trail of tear gas and chaos, while Lillian (Alice Barry) at last finds satisfaction in her flourishing new life as the “madam” of her very own brothel.
The Maguire clan continue to explode the myth of a conventional family. Mickey (Ciaran Griffiths) invests in a pink stretch limo for a new business venture, not forgetting the fact that it makes the perfect shag pad! Mimi (Tina Malone) faces up to her weight and Paddy’s (Sean Gilder) identical twin. Newlyweds Karen (Rebecca Atkinson) and Jamie (Aaron McCusker) begin married life living above The Jockey, and along with Ian Gallagher (Gerard Kearns) run the pub - without the brewery realising they have a new landlord.
With pet python’s eating tattooed dogs; a Mini-Chatsworth Mayor competition; Liam (Johnny Bennett) running away from home; Carl (Elliott Tittensor) becoming a boxer; Frank’s Alzheimer ridden mother-in-law (Anne Reid); a lottery win; a kidnap; the tale of the white picket fence and Norma’s (Dystin Johnston) Dormobile; not to mention a new sandy beach to catch the rays as they shine down on the Chatsworth Estate – everyday life in the wickedly unpredictable world of Shameless continues to unfold.
Series 5 and Series 1-5 of the critically acclaimed and brilliantly funny drama is out now.
