Channel 4 has been in touch to ask me to flag this compo up. The competition closes on September 26th, so you haven't got much time, so here's a last call to all Shameless fans - Channel 4 is offering you the chance to become an extra on the show. One lucky winner will get a role as a walk-on extra in the brand-new series, with the chance to share the screen with the Gallagher clan. A six pack of Special Brew is optional.

To stand a chance, you need to go to the Shameless myspace site (here) and explain why you should be part of the show. Extra credit will be given to people adding MySpace profile pictures dressed as one of the characters from the show. Get going if you fancy it.
