Shameless rip off

It seems Americans just can't understand non US-twanged forms of English. How else to explain the need to remake perfectly good programs from elsewhere in the world?

Brit hit Shameless is a recent example of a series that's gone under the knife for the sake of a US audience. With SBS currently screening the original version alongside W's broadcast of the remake, Australian audiences can enjoy comparing them and and make up their own minds over which to watch.

Andrew asks TV producer Kim Vecera and ABC 702 broadcaster Richard Glover which Frank Gallagher they love best.

Andrew asks Time Out's Angus Fontaine and RockWiz's Brian Nankervis what they think.
