About Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
This popular BBC sitcom, written by Raymond Allen and starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice, was first broadcast in 1973 and, despite encompassing just 22 episodes over three series, left an indelible mark in British sitcom annals. It's the story of Frank Spencer, a well-meaning yet accident-prone chap who tries his best - and often fails - to please everyone he encounters. His wife, long-suffering Betty, loves Frank very much and dutifully deals with the constant anxiety his behaviour creates for her. The show became known for its various catchphrases - "Ooh Betty" being a prominent one - as well as Crawford's physical brand of comedy that included spectacular stunts.
