A forerunner to CarIa Lane's Bread, this provocative mid-seventies sitcom puIls no punches in its depiction of a working-class 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 PowelI. The series became quite controversial in its day and the finaI episode was never transmitted. AlI seven episodes are included on this set, complete and uncut.
Newly released from a two-year prison term, BilIy Clarkson rejoins his famiIy - wife Mary, daughter Bernadette, sons Tony and Raymond, and grandparents Joe and Maggie - in the inner-city area of DingIe. But BiIly's got his work cut out: re-adjusting to the demands of domestic life is so much more difficult when haIf the famiIy is Protestant, the other haIf Catholic, and there's a constant threat of verbal argy-bargy erupting between the true-bIue Evertonians and the LiverpooI Reds... |
