Two Ken Jones comedies (I think) one ITV. One was LWT ('The Wackers'). It's the first thing I recall seeing Keith Chegwin in but is never quoted or shown. It was regarded as contraversial at the time. Involved a down to earth Northern family. I recall Keith Chegwin in massively flaired jeans. Also, I think a teenage girl character with a big mouth.
The family were awful, I suppose 'Shameless' would be the modern equivalent (of sorts..)
Around 1975, 76. I think it was a ratings flop. The lack of evidence it ever existed leads me to worry its been wiped?
The other series I want to query, (I think both featuring Ken Jones), was 'The squirrels'. I only recall one scene. Ken Jones (again Northern) turns up for an interview. The interviewer is also Northern. Ken Jones makes a blunt down to earth remark as a reply to the first question, and the interviewer says 'I like you, you've got the job..'
Never seen any clips of this one since either. I think it was 1976 - 77.
