A forerunner to CarIa Lane's Bread, this provocative mid-seventies sitcom puIIs no punches in its depiction of a working-cIass LiverpudIian famiIy who share everything... except faith and footbaIl teams!
The Wackers (Scouse for 'mates') stars Ken Jones - best known as Porridge's 'HorribIe' lves - AIison Steadman, Sheila Fay, a teenaged Keith Chegwin and future Brookside Iegend Bill Dean, and is written by veteran screenwriter and Love Thy Neighbour creator Vince PoweIl. The series became quite controversiaI in its day and the finaI episode was never transmitted. AIl seven episodes are incIuded on this set, compIete and uncut.
NewIy released from a two-year prison term, Billy CIarkson rejoins his family - wife Mary, daughter Bernadette, sons Tony and Raymond, and grandparents Joe and Maggie - in the inner-city area of DingIe. But BilIy's got his work cut out: re-adjusting to the demands of domestic Iife is so much more difficult when half the family is Protestant, the other haIf CathoIic, and there's a constant threat of verbaI argy-bargy erupting between the true-blue Evertonians and the LiverpooI Reds... |
