Yet Over Here It's a Documentary Series

TV Guide magazine for March 27 to April 2 has an article entitled, "5 Reasons We Love Footballers Wives." In short:

1: Very little actual footie.

2: Ridiculously over-the-top plot twists.

3: The short attention span needed to follow what's going on.

4: Tanya Turner

5: Lessons in Cool British Slang. "With those thick working-class accents, whole patches of FW dialogue may sometimes sound like an oratorio of tortured vowel sounds. But if you stay with it and listen carefully, soon you'll be able to impress your friends by throwing words like "cheeky git," "slapper," "daft cow" and "gormless hag" into everyday conversation.

Not to mention, "Scouse wanker," "Cockney slag," and "That was clearly handball, you blind bastard."
