Shameless on SBS

Here's the link for the official website saying it'll go to a 4th series. Not much in way of spoilers on this page so I reckon safe....

Those of us who saw it the first time around on the ABC (am I right?) are certainly pleased that SBS are really going on with all the eps. Guess its too "out there" for Aunty?

There is a Christmas special in all this. Hope it gets replayed on Xmas night here. Would be a real cracker.
 
Episode just gone:

sheila gets off the drugs and her twins turn into pigs
fiona shags handbag snatchers brother and finds out ian's gay
ian almost marries amanda
marty has a bit part in the sound of music as a monk

so long farewell auf wiedersehn adieu :)
 
Episode:

Ian's father turned out to be a replica of Frank :), Fiona spent the night with ex-nemesis from high school who now worked in social. sheila posed at monica gallagher, frank was reborn and mandy mcguire wasn't in the picture. i know she will be in future, but i never did like that storyline.
 
The McGuires do begin to get a bigger role in the third series - and they get some quite funny scenes.


Anyway - great news it's getting a fourth series, just hope we don't lose any more of the cast. I know that Kev, Lip and Veronica all have roles outside Shameless in the next few months - but I think most of them are just one-offs so they will hopefully be back.


Having said tha though it be interesting to see Kev and Veronica go and the neighbours from hell move in!
 
You didn't just put in a whole bunch of spoilers, did you?

Don't worry - I tried not to give anything away.

Difficult now - to deny what I wrote is a spoiler I have to claim it doesn't happen which might be a spoiler!
 
LOL. Thin ice brekkie boy! Glad it's you not me. Good to get news from UK though.
 
It's been confirmed now that a fourth series will air in the UK from January - though there will be an influx of new characters and the show will be less Gallagher led!
 
Waaaaaiiiillllllllll... :(

Tonight was so sad. It was WONDERFUL to see that gorgeous face of James McEvoy's again but now Anne-Marie Duff has gone too... she was such a gorgeous woman, a great actress and without these two actors I'm sure Shameless will still be a great show, but less without them.

Bon Voyage Steve & Fiona :( :( :( xx
 
How long do you have to wait for series 3 then?

Don't worry about the loss of Fiona - she's not really missed anywhere near as much as you'd think in series 3!
 
Some not that unexpected news about series 4:

Maxine Peake and Dean Lennox Kelly have confirmed they have left the series, meaning no Kev and Veronica in the next series. They haven't filmed any leaving scenes so it will be left up to the show to explain their absense!


Not a huge surprise - but still disapointing. No news on whether Veronica's mother and brother will remain. It should open up the possibility of bringing in a bunch of new characters to move next door though!

Most of the Gallagher clan are expected to return - though no confirmation on Sheila (yet no suggestion she has quit).
 
I don't know when we'll see series III - probably either at the end of this year, or at the beginning of next. i suspect they'll replay series II in the Zwischenzeit.
 
Some great news regarding Shameless - it looks like it's going to stick around for a bit...


Series 4 will air from January in the UK and will see the focus begin to move away from the Gallagher family towards the Maquires.

The long term future looks secure following the announcement that Shameless will become one of the few UK shows to have a permanent set - allowing C4 to double the order for it's already commissioned fifth series to 16 episodes.

Although most the Gallaghers are back for the fourth series, there is no word yet on how many will return for series 5.


However...

Sheila will bow out of the show midway through the fourth series
 
has anyone heard word of when season 3 will start???
best show ever, however sbs runs it too late for me, i always fall asleep half way thru it
 
This year didn't it start around February or March, after Series 1 reruns?

I'm really looking forward to the new episodes.
 
Me too, love Shameless!!
At least there'd be a few Gallaghers kneecapping SBS employees for putting ads in their show!
 
Did anyone catch the Christmas episode last Monday? Great stuff, but I miss Steve and Fiona. I think Marty's girlfriend is a bit weak at the moment.

Happy birthday James McAvoy (Steve) you hot minx, you. :D

The third season is coming soon.
