Porridge’s Ken Jones leads a cast of future stars in THE WACKERS: THE COMPLETE SERIES (cert TBC) which will be released 21 October 2013, RRP £12.99. This provocative mid-seventies sitcom pulls no punches in its depiction of a working-class Liverpudlian family who share everything, except faith and football teams!

The Wackers (Scouse for ‘mates’) stars Jones alongside Gavin and Stacey’s Alison Steadman, Sheila Fay (Z Cars), a fresh faced Keith Chegwin and future Brookside legend Bill Dean, and is written by veteran screenwriter and Love Thy Neighbour creator Vince Powell. The series was controversial in its day and the final episode was never transmitted. All seven episodes are included on this set, complete and uncut.
