Footballers' Wives

I was quite young when this was out and I wasn't allowed to watch it however I was obsessed with Bad Girls growing up (even though I shouldn't of been watching that at my age then either lol!) 24 now I decided to give Footballers Wives a go seeing as it's made by the same people as Bad Girls and Tanya even crossed over into the Bad Girls world.

First time watching it I wasn't overly keen but the second time around I was hooked. However the first season was strong but from then on out Tanya Turner is the one who continued to hold the whole show together with her fabulousness and mad ways, without her I don't think many people would remember or would want to remember this show all that much. It's a true 2000s classic that'll would never be approved into the world of today so appreciate the nostalgia that it'll forever hold.

I love this show like I did when I first watched it when it came out in 02. It's got everything you want in a show. Good story lines , great characters which the actors chosen portray very well, love, drugs, betrayal, deceit and murder !

This is an entertaining drama, which is not really going to tax your brain to much. It features the wives of a group of footballers in a fictional Premiership football team. Story-lines include attempted murder, drug abuse, adoption, adultery and a nurse who has a bit of a fetish for her comatose patients. All slightly far-fetched but so what?? US soap operas like Sunset Beach thrived on this. Real life footballer's wives such as Posh Spice (Mrs David Beckham) have criticized the program for being unrealistic but it does not claim to be a documentary.

Footballers' Wives is better then a lot of the crap that comes out of America these days. The show is best described as one of the most scandalous series aired ever where nothing goes untouched.

The action is based around the lives of the stars of a fictional premiership football team 'Earls Park'. Whilst the players themselves are outrageous, the behavior of their wives and girlfriends is beyond words....these women are cold hearted and ruthless, and will do anything to succeed, whether it be in terms of column inches or in order to bed the latest young star.

The characters are consumed by the wealth they get from their careers at the club, but their lives are also rife with manipulation, double-crossing, lying and cheating. The show drags you in with its steamy story lines, outrageous twists of fate and crazy cliffhangers, cat-fights

The show makes Melrose Place, Desperate housewives, Models INC. look like the Brady bunch.

Now with 4 series been under the shows belt, the series has become a cult hit across the globe.

The series has some of the UK's finest actors including Zoe Lucker (Tanya), Ben Price (Conrad), Alison Newman (Hazel).

Did you know that the series has been filmed on location in Thailand and Spain, When Tanya goes to HMP Larkhall prison for grade A drug possession she actually appears in series 6 of Bad Girls. The wives clothing is supplied by Versace, Robert Cavalli and Dolce and Gabbana. The stars on the show often buy some of the outrageous and simply glamorous costumes once filming has been completed.

The show is filmed on location in Chipstead FC

Rearranging the letters of 'Footballers' wives' gives: " We boil fast, lovers "

Tanya turner played by Zoe Lucker has to be one of the best villains to be in a drama series to date.

Must see COMPULSORY TV viewing at its best !!!!!

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!
