In Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em the new improved Spencer is brighter and unbereted. I don't think it an improvement myself but the BBC has every confidence in the series, bringing Michael Crawford on at the end of The Generation Game lest we forget.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 13th November 1978I suppose it is quite nice actually to be able to see Frank sit on a mousetrap or dangle over a cliff. The studio audience, each of them with tin tonsils clashing together like cymbals, thought it priceless. I do quite like to see the glimmer of a shade of a hint of a near-idea surface slowly on Michael Crawford's face and, with a gulp, sink back exhausted.
