Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em

Brilliant comedy in the 70's, have watched repeats on uk gold, still as funny as when they were first aired. Micheal Crawford plays a guy who's a walking disaster area, nothing goes right for him, his daft voice is a laugh.

The 70's british tv was brilliant when you look at the other comedys that were aired during the 70's they include....

Monty pythons flying circus Fawlty towers On the buses "Carry on" movies

Who said the 70's were bad

this comedy gets 9/10, Crawford also did all of his own stunts.

I knew for the first time about Michael Crawford and this TV series in 1985, when it was broadcasted in TV-3 -the Catalan channel-. I ever before had been laughing with so pleasure!. All situations are so funny and Michael´s acting is so superb!. I remember him destroying million pounds machines, bedrooms, shops, bars, dozen of dishes of a restaurant, henhouses, showing his skills making cradles, henhouses, repairing the lid of the rubbish plastic container, dancing, teaching an abandoned dog that he adopted, learning about sexuality going to lessons together with women of odd hairdos, feeding his daughter, be caught on a glued chair with an old lady sitting on, saying 'Don´t touch me...I´m a married man!', talking always about his mother...

Situations are so hilarious that even Betty and the other great actors who participated in the series hardly can contain their laughs. I recommend also Michael´s refreshing film of the sixties 'The Knack'.

'This room will be totally destroyed.'

That was my mother's prediction when Frank took Betty into a fairly down-market hotel on some coastal town or other for a stab at a second honeymoon - suffice to say she was correct and a lot of hilarity ensured. First episode I ever watched, and I have been in love with Frank and Betty ever since. Seriously, I think Micheal Crawford must have been the best physical comedian since Buster Keaton. His stunts just gave every episode an edge. It was brilliant.

A word on Michelle Dotrice. She managed to develop Betty as a strong character with her own (usually very funny) contribution. Compared to the thankless exposition and moaning that Gwyneth Strong and Tess Peak - Jones were lumbered with in 'Only Fools...'

I cannot recommend this enough.

I have only been viewing this series for a few weeks. I am addicted to them, They are just crazy, Mad. I thought Peter Sellars was the best comic in the U.K., but Michael is fantastic. Then I found out HE was THE Michael Crawford/Phantom of the Opera STAR. I can't believe the two are the same. We are talking about two ends of the spectrum of talent. I am a fan for life. I am going to scarf up as many videos as I can. Are the Brits just so talented or are they using mirrors or something? What great entertainment!!!!

Some Mothers Do 'Ave Them is one of the funniest shows EVER. Michael Crawford is just brilliant. Michael is an amazing actor and writer and always keeps everyone, including me, laughing all the way through his shows, films, etc. I give Some Mothers Do 'Ave Them a 10/10. This is an absolutely brilliant show.
