Plot Summary

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.

In the fourth series the residents of Manchester's most outrageous estate have two new cops to contend with. But the Gallaghers don't need to worry now they've teamed up with the Maguires.

Then there are his brothers, the not-so-bright Shane and Micky, a wannabe hard-man struggling with his own secrets. Frank and the kids are sent into a spin when mum Monica turns up, claiming to be back for good. Lip is taking his parental responsibilities seriously until thoughts of university offer him the escape he's always wanted.
