Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (UK)
TV Series (1973 - 1978)
Frank Spencer is more than just a complete klutz. Everything he touches falls apart, and he can't keep a job more than a day. The only thing that keep him going is his long-suffering wife Betty, who somehow manages to cope with his disaster-prone life-style. He drives his neighbours mad and people cross the road to avoid him. NOTE Michael Crawford performed all Frank's stunts himself.
