Eldest daughter Fiona is bringing up the family - Lip (Philip),Ian,Debbie,Carl and Liam - after their Mum Monica left to live with her trucker girlfriend,while Dad Frank is a drunk who is of no help to anyone. Next door neighbours Veronica and Kev are good friends of the Gallaghers. Local policeman Tony vies with car thief Steve for Fiona's affection. (episode six) Frank is in trouble,so much trouble that he resorts to dressing as a woman to try and hide from the two thugs that he owes money to. Lucky for him,Yvonne is pretty nifty with a baseball bat and Veronica uses her assets to buy Frank some time to get away. Fiona gets a shock when Tony proposes,apparently refusing to acknowledge her relationship with Steve. Things aren't great at home either when the Housing Officer comes round asking questions about who lives where...And on top of all that,out of the blue,Monica,the kids' mum turns up with her lesbian girlfriend,Norma,looking for forgiveness.To be continued...
