I didn’t get 1d and I feel cheated when the number of unchecked squares is less than the number of checked squares.

I think this is OK, GRIDLOCK being both “Ben Elton’s work” and “jam”, so the rest is just filler to aid the surface reading with the suggestion that the ex-”Right-on one” has earned lots of money (true – particularly from his later collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber) from luck (jam) or doing very little.
I agree the clue can work and lead to the same answer as just
Ben Elton’s work, for jam! (8)
but it’s not as much fun.

Was forced to read about Ben Elton on Wikipedia! What value did earning him lots of money have?
