Bad Girls (TV Series)

Bad Girls (TV series)

Bad Girls is a British television drama series that was broadcast on ITV from 1 June 1999 to 20 December 2006 and starred Debra Stephenson (Shell Dockley), Linda Henry (Yvonne Atkins), Jack Ellis (Jim Fenner), Andrew Scarborough (Kevin Speers) and many more throughout the eight-year run. The series was broadcast in 16 countries and was produced by Shed Productions, the company which later produced Footballers' Wives and Waterloo Road. It is set in the fictional women's prison of Larkhall, and features a mixture of serious and light storylines focusing on the prisoners and staff of G Wing. A ninth series was planned to be produced in 2007 but due to a decline in ratings the series was cancelled at the end of series 8. From 2010, the UK broadcast rights were bought by CBS Drama, and is repeated regularly - as of September 2012, the channel is re-running the series again in a late-night time slot.
