DVD Extras: Footballers' Wives is presented with an ordinary TV transfer. The special features are nothing to get excited about, just standard interviews & photo galleries.

Footballers Wives plays rather like a dramatisation of the worst bits of Heat magazine, fuelling our obsession with worshipping at the celebrity altar. In essence its Dynasty set in the world of premiership football, though you shouldnt be fooled by the title: this is definitely not a game of two halves. For the first time in history, men may leave the room at the mention of football to let the women gorge themselves on a surfeit of bad fashion, affairs, drug habits, long-lost children & the gratuitous disposal of excessive wealth.

There are more than a few recognisable characters, the foreign manager, the glamour-model wife, the smouldering Italian mid-fielder, whose presence only adds to the impression that this just might be fact thinly disguised as fiction . Unsurprisingly Footballers Wives was created by the same team that produced the trash-fest that was Bad Girls & despite never being a contender for best drama it offers a perfect opportunity to become a voyeur in a world with more glitz & leg action than most.

Gillian Taylforth is a British-born actress. She is best known for her roles as Kathy Hills on the BBC soap opera, EastEnders & her current role as Jackie Pascoe-Webb on ITV s Footballers Wives. Outside of television work she is perhaps most famous for her unsuccesful court case against The Sun over a story that she was caught performing a lewd act on a man in a car. She is the sister of actress Kim Taylforth. Gillian Taylforth at the Internet Movie Database. Posters Of Footballers Wives
