artpf A show like Footballer's Wives could go very wrong in the wrong hands. Thanksfully that is not the case with this classic British series. It's one of the few dramas on television that does not take it's audience for granted.It's sort of female centric and with good reason -- it's produced, directed and written by women. And it shows. The characters are well drawn and the male leads are wickedly positioned from the feminine point of view.Don't miss this show! It's one of the best soaps opera dramas ever on TV. Unfortunately U.S. citizens can only see it on BBC America or by buying the DVD sets. If you go the DVD route, try to buy the UK versions, if your player can handle it. Those contain juicy extra disks not on the American versions!! I heard this show may have been canceled. If that's true it's really too bad. it then 5 years is a good run by any standard.

Paul_A_C Sex, glamour, fame, top notch story lines yet so unreal but we can't help loving it. The show has it all. Footballers wives is by far England's most successful, addictive TV drama show. The show is evolved around the lives of several footballers and their wives changing characters and story lines throughout the series.The show mainly revolves around the ultimate footballers wife Tanya Turner (Zoe Lucker) who has always given the show its ten out of ten entertainment; she's a heartless, greedy, money hungry, manipulative bitch but we love her. She's bribed her way through it all, bumped off rich men for their money, swapped babies at birth to save herself and much more that's kept us watching throughout. As the series have progressed they've lost touch as most series do; but it's always kept its shock making us desperate to know what happens next.

alanmryan100 This is one of the best shows to watch, you don't need to know everything that has happened beforehand to watch and the storyline's aren't very taxing after a long day at work.The show follows (as you've probably guessed) Premiership footballers and their wives. There are Jason (seasons 1 & 2) and Tanya (season 1 - ), the constantly sparring, schemeing and cheating couple. He's a sex-mad, homophobic bad buy and captain of Earls Park Rangers while she's a cocaine addict, attempted murderer and TV's biggest bitch.Next there's the dull Walmsley family, who only lasted 1 1/2 seasons on the show.The Pascoes consist of Kyle (season 1 - )and his glamour model wife Chardonnay (seasons 1 & 2), as well as his mother Jackie. They are very Posh and Becks. In season 1 Jackie got pregnant with Jason Turner's baby, and then Char learned she couldn't have kids so they came up with the crazy idea that she and Kyle would bring up Jackie's baby. But as ever in FW things went wrong and it turned out that the baby had both male and female reproductive organs. At the end of season two, Jackie left with baby Paddy. Will she return?There are also other characters, Salvitore Biagi (another footballer), who had an affair with Donna Walmsley, Freddie Hauser (his new love interest), Stefan (her father, manager of Earls Park) and Frank (who Tanya tried to kill and also works at Earls Park).Overall this show is great!

mmsbk Possible spoilers I just love this series. Here in Oz we have just had the last cliff-hanging episode of, I hope, the first series.Can Jason get any worse? Can Tanya save them again? Can't Jackie, Char and Kyle see that the baby plan just can't work !! Who is really behind the kidnapping of Holly, and can Donna and Sal work it out - perhaps Marie can console Ian, now Jason has rejected her ( AGAIN- really, couldn't she see it coming!!! And what of Frank.......And the Scottish stalker.........I find it hard to believe that reviewers seem to think that its some sort of slice of real life. Its glorious soap, soap, of the highest order and far from bad acting, they are perfect ( well, perhaps not Susie Amie) but Cristien Solimeno and Zoe Lucker are classic. How he must enjoy the anti Italian thing his character does.
