WHACKO or Whack-O! classic sit-com started life on BBC Television in October 1956 and  starred 'Professor' Jimmy Edwards.   Written by the masterful team of  Frank Muir and Denis Norden, this was undoubtedly one of the major  successes of early British television.   There were 8 series in all with  a couple of special shows, giving a grand total of 60 half hour shows,  and 3 shorts.   But the story doesn't stop there, and this is one of the  more unusual shows where a radio series and even a film were spawned  from the TV version
