The houses all look real, but note from our photos that they only go back a few feet…And did you know that all the characters' bedrooms are all piled on top of each other in a studio set, well away from the houses…Meanwhile, what really goes on in Chatsworth police station? It's actually the offices of the Shameless crew and the canteen, just one entrance in a huge building that also houses all the studios.
Look closely on the tables of the characters' rooms – surely Frank Gallagher and Karen Maguire don't read The Guardian and The Independent?
Here we present all the backstage pics and, as a kind of Easter quiz, see if you can guess whose rooms they are – there's no prizes as we're skint but send us the answers anyway and we'll pick a winner!
