Shameless is a British drama television series set in Manchester on the fictional Chatsworth council estate. Produced by Company Pictures for Channel 4, the first seven-episode series aired weekly on Tuesday nights at 10pm from 13 January 2004. The comedy drama, centred on British underclass and working class culture, has been accorded critical acclaim by various sections of the British media, including The Sun newspaper and Newsnight Review on BBC Two. The programme was created and partially written by Paul Abbott, who is also the programme's executive producer. The second half of series eight will continue from 30th August 2011 on Channel 4 until October 2011.

The show has been renewed for a ninth series which will be shown in 2012.

Explore

I was in Manchester again for a night/morning of exploring before I went to airport to pick family up, after exploring another place we decided to go do Shameless, another one on Sols list, getting in was tricky, was really hard to prevent making noise but we managed to do it, Not many pictures really as its only a small area and can quite easily sum it all up

The Gallagher family reside at 2 Windsor Gardens on the fictional Chatsworth estate, a council estate in Stretford, near Manchester. Originally the show was filmed on location on a council estate in West Gorton and in the Pie Factory Studios in Salford. Since series 5, the show has been filmed from a purpose built set on the Roundthorn Industrial Estate in South Manchester on the site of an old Umbro warehouse, and around Wythenshawe and Sale.

Sorry for picture quality it was very dark on the set and its not always a good idea to use a torch when security is not far away
