Daily (porn) Star, page 15 & there are pictures as well (nothing of a disturbing nature though of the subject matter)

My old man is absolutely disgusted by it & he's no prude.

But then again I think any sane person would be disgusted by that.

'Six Feet Under' dipped in quality for a couple of series but was back on form for the final. SFU at it's worst was better then 'Shameless ever was.

that way I said it going the same way, I agree with you about SFU,

From what my old man has told me (who hasn't watched this series) apparently a story line is coming up soon involves a story on beastality.

Basically one of the Macguires trains their Alsation dog to give him a bl*w job


Mad Definately lost its way



The press may have been squatting on the moral high ground in the last couple of weeks - but they don't seem to mind bullying C4 for any minor detail!


Actually watch the episode (it was shown on E4 on Tuesday) and it's all done in a very Shameless way!


Talking of that:

Do the writers have something against dogs - that's at least the third they've killed off, not including all the strays in the Christmas special!

I did wonder TBH it does seem a bit of a distasteful story to be done so it had to be done it a correct way.

I keep forgetting the Daily (porn) Star contridicts itself all the time, there's only a few good pages in it :m Page3, 7, 11, centre pages Wink

Next Tuesday - or E4+1 of course!

There is always 4oD - but I don't know if they put them up before they air on C4.

I think Shameless is brilliant! It may get stick for being a bit controversal at times, but at heart the key points of the plots are relevent to today e.g. use of drugs, promiscuity, teenage pregnancies and life in an estate, but in a fun and entertaining way. Some people may think it is full on, which it can be to people who do not like that sort of thing, but if that is the case then don't watch it as a lot of people I know don't. But a lot of people will agree with me... its great!

WARNING: Spoilers for non E4-viewers


A mixed response but the fourth series has come to an end and pretty much set itself up for a fifth.

I wonder if that new opening will be permanent - it seems to be in line with the plans for the show to concentrate on the wider community, though will take some getting used too.


I've enjoyed the series myself - I know in many people's eyes it won't live up to the first couple of years, and in truth it probably doesn't but it's still one of the best hours of drama on TV all week, and I think it's weathered the cast changes better than most shows would.

Out of all those who have gone the only one I really miss is Sheila - and Monica has proved no replacement. Glad to see Yvonne being used more though, and she will presumably be a central character in the fifth.


Overall though it's been pretty damn good and after tonight's finale I can't wait for series 5!
