SENSE OF SHAME
Shameless hit our screens 12 years ago…so here are 10 of the best bits that got you hooked
Back in 2004 the Gallagher family burst onto our screens but here are those pivotal first moments paved the way for the next nine years of shame
Cult British comedy Shameless hit the small screen in 2004 with its signature brand of bad language, drug use and sexual content.
The merry band of men on the Chatsworth estate had us hooked with their ridiculous antics to make money and avoid both the police and social services.
Critically acclaimed, the series gave us a hilarious, shocking and sometimes moving insight into the lives of the Gallagher family and their associates.
It was the first few seasons that had us hooked and here we take a walk down memory lane, reminding you why you fell in love with the booze-fuelled family of six.
