When Fiona Gallagher's bag is stolen on a night out in Manchester, a man called Steve comes to her rescue and he accompanies her back to her home in Chatsworth, an inner city council estate. The pair begin to get close, until they are interrupted by the police bringing in her passed out alcoholic father, Frank. Meanwhile, Lip makes some discoveries regarding his brother Ian's sexuality and secret relationship with local shopkeeper Kash. Karen's father leaves home after catching her in a compromising position.
Normally the British versions of shows that are remade by the US are infinitely better, more subtle and generally just funnier, after watching both versions the US version is just so much better, the British version feels like something made by a local amateur club. Maybe the British version will improve but so far it's just not nearly as good.....
