Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The Complete Series Plus Christmas Specials (DVD)

The complete Series 1-3 plus the three Christmas specials of the 1970s BBC sitcom starring Michael Crawford as the accident-prone Frank Spencer.

Well-meaning and optimistic, but naïve, clueless and spectacularly incompetent, Frank would find situations spiraling hilariously out of control. His long-suffering wife Betty can only stand by and watch as he is catapulted into "a bit of trouble" by the simplest task - a window cleaning job, a driving test, DIY or an RAF reunion. Michael Crawford was renowned for performing his own stunts in the series - some of the biggest and most dangerous in British comedy, including the holiday camp "bluecoat" human fireworks display, hanging from the exhaust of his Morris Minor as it teetered on a cliff edge and an unbelievable extended roller-skate.

Our Review: As wonderful as Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is, sadly we cannot recommend this box set for sale; 2entertain have seen fit to remove one of the series' funniest scenes, from Series 3's Moving House, where Frank ends up in a barrel of tar. We at the British Comedy Guide feel strongly that this relentless butchering of British television classics has to stop.
