The story of a young group of siblings pretty much abandoned by their parents, surviving by their wits - and humor - on a rough Manchester council estate. Whilst they won't admit it, they need help and find it in Steve, a young middle class lad who falls for Fiona, the oldest sibling, and increasingly finds himself drawn to this unconventional and unique family. Anarchic family life seen through the eyes of an exceptionally bright fifteen year old, who struggles to come of age in the context of his belligerent father, closeted brother, psychotic sister and internet porn star neighbors.

User Reviews

Highly entertaining series that almost redefines the dysfunctional family drama. Well scripted narrative and characters.

The UK version will always reign supreme. It’s gritty and... well, shameless. And yet so many important themes are explored. Loved it.

A raw, gritty, and riotously funny look at life on the edge. It’s an authentic northern masterpiece with a heart of gold beneath the chaos.

Very engaging comedy drama. Likeable characters with good storylines.

Watched every series when I was younger. A true grimy British series that delivers comedy and drama.

Good to understand northern England culture bank in the day, in touch with a big low-working-class family.

Crassness at its best. Only bad thing to say is last season disappointed

Interesting and compelling. Great stories that will keep you engaged. Older seasons are better.

UK version is so much better than the remake.

It’s like the US version only less polished & manufactured.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a television programme featuring British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. The BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning programme debuted on Channel 4 in 2004. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence. Episodes from series one and two have been re-edited with additional new material as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited; they featured Ramsay checking up on restaurants a year or more after he attended to them. In October 2009 Ramsay announced that after his four-year contract expired in 2011 he would not continue with Kitchen Nightmares and would instead work on his other shows.

Partly-improvised sitcom looking at the trials and tribulations of bringing up three young children - a regal five-year-old girl with a talent for interrogation, a seven-year-old boy who could fib for Britain and an 11-year-old who is gearing up for his scary first day at secondary school.

The Inbetweeners

Suburban teenage friends Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, students at Rudge Park Comprehensive, attempt to navigate the social scene, attract members of the gentler sex, and saunter amongst the cool crowd. However, despite their best efforts, the four hapless lads usually end up on the side of the nerds.

Six friends in their thirties navigate dating, sexual adventures, and mishaps on their quest to find love.

Eight people live together as housemates in a vacation home, party, work in the area and compete with each other to win the grand prize.

The story of one of the most infamous cases in UK criminal history, that of serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Told through the prism of three men, the series explores the personal and professional consequences of coming into contact with a man like Nilsen.

Chicagoan Frank Gallagher is the proud single dad of six smart, industrious, independent kids, who without him would be... perhaps better off. When Frank's not at the bar spending what little money they have, he's passed out on the floor. But the kids have found ways to grow up in spite of him. They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are.

Follow the exploits of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the two halves of Tenacious D, the self-proclaimed "greatest band on earth." Their music is heavy on power chords and lyrics about sex, Satan, and why they are the greatest band on Earth.
