Shameless Series 4 and Box Set in October

12 October 2007

The critically acclaimed, BAFTA nominated and multi-award winning comedy drama Shameless returns to DVD later this month with the release of Series 4 from 4DVD. Focussing on the highs and lows of the dysfunctional Gallaghers on the Chatsworth Estate, the series has developed a loyal following for its colourful array of characters and unhealthy doses of sex, drugs, gratuitous violence, ASBOs, love and scams, Shameless is Channel 4's most successful ever comedy drama.

Series 4 sees the favourite colourful characters of the Chatsworth Estate return with a bang, but this time they have two new cops to contend with when witty, smart and sexy Carrie (Amanda Ryan - Attachments) and fresh faced Tom (Michael Legge - Angela's Ashes) arrive to join forces with resident bobby Stan (Warren Donnelly).

But the Gallaghers need not worry after teaming up with local gangsters, the Maguires. It's game on when the three Maguire brothers reunite - prodigal son Jamie Maguire (Aaron McCusker - The Rotters' Club) returns from a stint in prison to set sparks flying with Karen (Rebecca Atkinson), while not-so bright Shane Maguire (Nicky Evans - Heroes & Villains) and wannabe hard man Micky Maguire (Ciaran Griffiths - The Bill) are never far behind.

Shameless Series 4 will be released by 4DVD as a 3-disc set on 29th October 2007 at the RRP of £24.99. DVD extras include the Take That Sequence Director's Cut, The Missing Scenes, and a stack of out-takes.

Also released on 29th October by 4DVD will be Shameless Series 1-4 Box Set, an 11 disc set featuring all the extras (3 hours' worth) from the individual releases of the four series and priced at £59.99.
