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.

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.

I absolutley LOVE footballer's wives!! It may have over the top characters and story lines, but that's why everyone loves it. Unfortunatley series 2 has now finished with a wicked cliffhanger of an ending, but i know that most of the UK can't wait for the third series to start. The guys are all gorgeous and the girl's outfits simply divine... I kinda of have a love- hate relationship with Tanya Turner, but she is definently the most interesting character in the show...

so come on ITV, bring back Footballer's Wives - SOON!

I like the bit where I got divorced and never had to watch this show ever again.

I just saw a couple of episodes - and I couldn't look away. The actors (All women are scheming vixens while all men are moneymaking lummoxes) aggressively ham it up in their outrageous clothing amidst pricey environments with a background of screaming fans - a cynical, psychotronic critique of our era.

Yeah, it's bad - gloriously bad. I do hope they found it intact a thousand years from now, just so they can get the geist of our times.

6/10, just for the shock (schlock) value. And Zoe Lucker is magnificent.
