Frank's past catches up with him when he is hounded by two Baliffs. As usual, his family is forced to pay the price, and if that wasn't enough, a housing officer with a score to settle is threatening to take the family home. However, Frank is more concerned with tracking down his ex-wife Monica, sparking off a chain of events that tears the Gallagher family apart. Meanwhile, Tony, the local copper, has fallen in love with Fiona and tries to lure her away from Steve.
Blisteringly funny, offbeat drama following the rollercoaster lives and loves of an anarchic family from Manchester. Meet the Gallaghers. Mum went AWOL years ago, Dad stayed at home with the six children only to hit the bottle. And sometimes the kids... The real head of the family is big sister Fiona, who looks after Carl, Debbie and baby Liam. She is occasionally helped, more often hindered, by reluctant virgin 'Lip' and the actively gay, but very private, Ian.
Welcome to a hectic world of sexual adventures, triumphs, love, scams and a fair bit of crime on a rough Manchester housing estate, where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen.
