A three-time BAFTA nominee* for Best Situational Comedy, "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" follows the mishaps of accident-prone Frank Spencer and his wife, Betty. Frank is a clumsy woeful and infuriating man, attempting to hold a job and navigate the simplest of daily tasks. Betty does her best to hang on to Frank, sometimes literally, as well as their daughter Jessica.
"Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" stars Michael Crawford ("Chalk and Cheese," "A World of Comedy"), who earned three BAFTA nominations for his role as Frank Spencer, and Michele Dotrice ("Vanity Fair," "Not Now Comrade") as Betty Spencer. The series aired from 1973 - 1978, for a total of three seasons, 19 episodes and a handful of Christmas specials, as well as a 2016 Sports Relief sketch in which the leads reunited for the first time in 38 years.
A common British saying that is usually a kind criticism of someone as foolish or inept, "Some Mothers Do' Ave 'Em" remains revered in British pop culture for its much-lampooned catchphrases and its stuntwork, which Crawford performed himself.
The Complete Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em DVD set features all episodes, the 1974, 1975 and 1978 Christmas specials, the 2016 Sports Relief sketch, and bonus footage including Stunts, The Return of Frank Spencer and Velodrome.
