Shameless

Por falar em humor inglês: Shameless, a comédia dramática do Channel 4, é das séries mais interessantes e originais que já vimos (a par da Smoking Room da BBC). Aqui fica o monólogo introdutório do patriarca da Família Gallagher de um bairro social de Manchester:

Now, nobody's sayin the Chatsworth Estate is the Garden of Eden, but it's been a good home to us, to me -Frank GALLAGHER- and me kids, who im proud of! 'Cause every single one of them reminds me a little of me. They can all think for themselves! Which they've me to thank for. Fiona! Who's a massive help. Lip, who's a bit of a gobshite, which is why nobody calls him 'Philip' anymore. Ian, a lot like his mom which is handy for the others 'cause she's disappeared into thin air. And Carl! We daren't let him grow his hair for two reasons; 1, it stands on end and makes him look like Toya and 2, nits love him. Debbie! Sent by God, total angel. You've to check your change, but she'll go miles out of her way to do you a favour. Plus Liam! Gonna be a star, if we can only control the fits. Steve; Fiona's boyfriend. The truth is out there..NOT. Fantastic neighbours, Kev and Veronica! Lend you anythin'- well, not anythin'. But all of them owe it to a man...who knows first and foremost the most vital necessity in this life is they know how to throw a PARTY
