Bad Girls is a British drama series showed on ITV1. It is set in the fictional womens prison of Larkhall & features a mixture of serious & light storylines focusing on the prisoners & staff of G Wing. Bad Girls is made by Shed productions, the company which later produced Footballers Wives & was devised by Ann McManus, Maureen Chadwick & Eileen Gallagher. The first series of Bad Girls was shown in 1999, lasting 10 episodes. There have been six series in total, ranging from 10 to 16 episodes. the day has varied between Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. Bad Girls has not been one to shy away from controversy. The first three series featured prominantly the developing romantic relationship between Nikki Wade, a prisoner serving life for manslaughter & Helen Stewart, the Wing Governor who spent much of series 1 engaged to a man. many viewers regarded the subtlety of the portrayal of the relationship as one of its strongest assets. For this reason, Bad Girls has ammassed a significant following within the lesbian community. Posters Of Bad Girls

Many viewers were left with a real cliffhanger at the end of season two, with so many cliffhangers. Will Shell get Fenner? Will Helen turn Nikki in? And whats the deal with Di?

The third series answers all of these questions, & some moments are pure Bad Girls, as the show makes us laugh, gawp & cry. There are lots of new characters introduced, including Buki, Gina, Mark & Virginia, but the most important arrival happens halfway through the series. The Peckham Boot Gang. For those who havent seen Series Four, I wont spoil it, but the vicious Maxi finally gets whats coming to her. All I can say is buy this set, cos its great, & wait for Series Four as well. The finale definately goes off with a bang!
