It's a shame about Shameless...
Alright, humes? Let's be Frank. (See what I did there?) Shameless has become a shadow of its former self over recent years. Of course, I wasn't even a twinkle in the local promiscuous tomcat's eye when it first aired - but my humes tell me it lost its sparkle when Fiona (Anne-Marie Duff) upped and left in series two. So imagine how chuffed we all were when Fiona reappeared in tonight's last-ever episode - summoned back to the Chatsworth Estate by attention-seeking mum Monica to attend the funeral of an aborted foetus. (Yep, they were keeping it classy right to the end.) With Frank out of prison - and Lip, Carl and Stella in attendance, too - it was almost an emotional family reunion. Sadly, the other Gallagher kids - Ian, Debbie and Liam - couldn't make it. But it's doubtful whether Frank would have noticed their absence anyway. Challenged by Yvonne-from-the-shop to name all his children without hesitation, he fell at the first hurdle: "Let's see now - there's... er..." And now there's one more name to forget - the surviving baby brother of the aforementioned aborted foetus, who was born in The Jockey shortly after Frank left prison. At one point, Fiona plotted to take Stella and the baby to live with her. But to cut a long story short, it now seems they're staying put - after Lip pointed out that, despite being Frank's kids themselves, they'd all turned out OK. So then everyone went to the pub, got drunk, did some rubbish dancing and set fire to a car. And they all lived happily ever after... Want to help a cat become Top Dog, humes?
