Who will be watching the new series of SHAMELESS tonight?

[notnowbernard]

Am trying to remember the conclusion of the last series. Was it Mandy dying in the explosion?

yeah it was Mandy's wake, I thought at the time that that was supposed to be it for Shameless

hoping for the best but it's been so crap for a while

It's not as good as it has been but I still get hooked

Oh yes, the wake... wonder how they will portray the Maguires after that?

mmmmmeeeee meeeeee meeeeeee

hey NNB, my shameless buddy

we are v v excited at Lulu Towers, just got meself a rollie and a special brew

No, it has lost wittiness and just become crude

I hear a lot of people say it is not as good as it used to be. I disagree and think it has evolved brilliantly and the story lines are still exciting with brilliant characters.

I am officially excited

mmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi Lulu! (Wow, weren't we having this conversation a year ago?)

It is crude but has always been, no?

ever so slightly disappointed

i don;t like it when it spills so far over into unreality

and don't get me started on teh childbirth scene

massive pain, waters gush, baby delivered before paramedics arrive, and then is presetned cord cut, in a tea towel.

so far, 5/10, Could Do Better

Agree, CRAP childbirth scene

Like the way Liam's character is developing though

Bit bizarre that the loss of Mandy wasn't being mourned still?

Hmm, poor start but hopefully will be a slow burner

I am just traumatised at seeing mrs Doyle (from Father ted) as a lusty librarian

THAT'S who she is!

Thankyou, Molly, it was driving me nuts

sorry but i dip in and out of shameless, what happened to mandy?

She was killed in an explosion

Woman Paddy was having a fling with (he'd years before sold her daughter heroin, she subsequently became addicted and died, so 'fling' was orchestrated by woman to get revenge) locked Mandy in her house and turned the gas on and then lit the match

oh i remember him being held and injected etc! They didnt seem that bothered bout her death last nite!

I watched the next episode on E4 (sad, I know) and they do mention Mandy a bit more.

jumpeduppantryboy - thank you, I know have Smiths-related ear-worms. Gah!

Could have been worse MollyRoger - I could have been called IThinkWe'reAloneNow, NeverGonnaGiveYouUp or ChinaInYourHands

You ! Now they're in my head too.

enjoyed and watched next one on e4

suprised dont mention mandy more, and who has her daughter?

she was at the christening - that was so funny with the monkey and paddy

carl has got a lovely 6 pack - but did in last series

mr blondes and i wet ouselves with back door berty and the farting!!

Bugger I missed it! Is there a repeat?

lowrib it'll be on 4 on demand on your pc....(though i can't get it to work on mine)

I've never tried 4OD or i-player actually. If I know I can watch it online I kind of file it way in the 'will do that sometime' bit of my brain and it never happens.

New year's resolution maybe? Must watch more online TV

Maybe I'll get the box set and watch it all in one day. Perhaps when DS goes to school in a few years ...
