In 1975 saucy superstar Jack Ladd (Robin Askwith) falls off his ladder filming Revelations of a Window Cleaner. He spends the next 40 years in a coma being visited everyday by his most ardent fan Fanny Waters, who takes great pride in maintaining his iconic hairstyle.
He miraculously awakens in 2015, a 25 year old brain in a 65 year old body. Keen to make up for 40 years of missed ‘shagging’ Jack begins a viagra fuelled odyssey of sexual reawakening. But times have changed and Jack finds himself bewildered by modern life, technology and culture.
Episodes include.
