I must have been brought up on fucking mars as well then .....Gorton actually.

i did watch a few shows, i don't like to dismiss things as i said. it is poor though, compared to spaced/phoenix nights. which the latter captures northern life perfectly.
and i am from oldham!

thanks for the pendant. i'm pretty sure that shameless is not real life.

Try and work that one out if you can ;)aphex said:rubbish. always has been, and it seems, doing a good job making sure that it always will be.
never watched the show personally, but due to family members raving i tried not to be ignorant. one word of advice to the writers, if you are going to try satirize working class people from the north, please try and add some humility.
i don't think i've ever seen a poorer programme.
