Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When performing stunts, Michael Crawford usually wore gloves, so if he suddenly appears wearing them, a stunt is usually about to follow. For this reason, there sometimes appear to be continuity errors (no gloves/gloves/no gloves). more
Goofs:
Continuity: Australia House (Series 3). When the phone rings asking Frank to go and have a look at the electrics in a house, the address he is given over the phone to him which is written down by Betty is "26 Upton down". However when Frank arrives the number on the door is 24. more

Ooooooh Betty!!!!!, 17 May 2001
Author: GrantCAGE from Liverpool, ENGLAND

I loved this comedy when I was a child and I still love it now as I watch it over again. Although quite tacky and extremely dated, I love this! It's so much fun to watch and although tacky, it's also very watchable. You'll laugh out loud as the accident-prone Frank Spencer launches from one disaster to another! Michele Dotrice is good as Betty as well. In my opinion this is Michael Crawford's best work simply because it's so funny watching him as Frank and him doing his own stunts when he's skating, driving, falling, flying etc! Great British comedy with loads of slapstick situations and extremely fun to watch! 9/10 - Fantastic!
