The Wackers(1975)

The Wackers is a comedy series set in Liverpool that centres on a family straddling two faiths. With one parent Protestant and the other Catholic, the household navigates the tensions, traditions and humour that come from their divided religious background. Set against the backdrop of a working-class Liverpool neighbourhood, the show explores how family bonds hold firm even when cultural and religious differences threaten to pull them apart. Through domestic squabbles, misunderstandings and moments of genuine warmth, The Wackers finds comedy in the everyday clash of beliefs and values. The series balances sharp wit with heart, offering a portrait of modern British family life where tolerance and love ultimately triumph over sectarian divides.
