Desperate Scousewives is a British scripted-reality television series based in Liverpool.[1] It premiered on E4 at 10:00pm on 28 November 2011.[2] It ran for eight episodes before being cancelled due to stagnating ratings and a perceived lack of interest in cast members from viewers.[3] The show gained favourable viewing figures for its first episode, debuting with 500,000 viewers, 24% up on the E4 channel's slot average. However, episodes for the rest of the series were regularly below this figure and outside of the E4 top-10 weekly rankings.[4]
The show's name is a play on words of the American comedy-drama Desperate Housewives and was said to be "Liverpool's answer to The Only Way Is Essex and Made in Chelsea".[5] Repeats began airing on 4Music from 26 April 2012,[6] sparking speculation from cast members that it may be a test run to recommission a new series on 4Music instead of E4.[7][8] However, E4 reaffirmed their decision several times about the show's cancellation via their official Twitter page despite cast members continually claiming that a second series is in production.[9]
