Description
Paul Abbott's "Shameless" has consistently been the best thing on television since it started on Channel 4 in 2004. Fearless, controversial and downright hilarious, it goes where other popular dramas fear to tread. Then, it necks a couple of pills, washes them down with several pints of lager and carries on until it falls over. Now, the Gallaghers and friends (and enemies) have put pen to paper to bring you the ultimate lifestyle guide. Frank passes on his unique thoughts about the trials of parenting. Sheila gets down and dirty with How Clean is Your Council House? Debbie shares some of her favourite recipes and nutritional tips in a "Shameless" version of "You Are What You Eat". Ian gives us his gay guide to the Chatsworth Estate. And, of course, the Gallaghers together share their knowledge of how to throw a great party...Award-winning writer Paul Abbott has created the perfect companion to one of Britain's best loved dramas. If you can't get enough of the Chatworth Estate's favourite family, this is the book for you.
