Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1973–1978)
9/10
A cure for misery.
5 September 2023
Frank Spencer means well, but everything he touches just seems to go wrong, from kitchen appliances to holidays, to roller skating, he just manages to mess things up, he is however supported by his wonderful, beautiful wife, Betty.

It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, or what episode I put on, my mood is always elevated, this is comedy of the highest order.

I love the chemistry between Crawford and Dotrice, you definitely see a sense of admiration, of camaraderie between the pair. It helps answer the show's biggest question, why on Earth did Betty put up with him.

So many wonderful episodes, but my personal favourite, has to be the holiday, the moving furniture and screams of Mr Bedford are agonisingly funny.

What has always amazed me, is the fact that Michael Crawford did all of his own stunts, and there are many, some of them are incredible, they'd never get away with it these days, the health and safety people would have forty fits.

Magical comedy.

9/10.
