Girls in Love is a British teen drama television series produced by Granada Television that aired on CITV. It is based on the 1997 novel of the same name, both created by English author Jacqueline Wilson. The show ran for two series from 1 April 2003 to 20 May 2005. The show was filmed in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Plot

Three teenage girls — Ellie (Hallinan), Magda (Abrahams) and Nadine (Kwolek) — are best friends that go through the somewhat weird and wonderful world of boys together. The show is narrated by Ellie, and normally portrays her life events in her sketchbook, which blends the show's live action with animation in a similar manner to the US teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire. She lives with her father and his girlfriend (later wife) Anna, and her youngest half-brother Benedict "Eggs".

VHS/DVD (Region 2)

The DVD releases are episodes strung into movies with music changes, due to copyright reasons. The remaining 4 episodes of Series 1 and the last 9 shows of Series 2 have not had official DVD releases, probably due to music rights issues and poor sales.
