Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice Remember... Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice recall their time working on the hit 1970s comedy featuring the bungling but well-meaning Frank Spencer and his forbearing wife Betty.
Itβs now 50 years since we first met and fell for accident-prone Frank Spencer and his long-suffering wife Betty in the very first episode of Some Mothers Do βAve βEm. In all that time, actors Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice have never sat down together to discuss the programme - until now.
Here, we find them reunited and looking back on one of Britainβs most-loved sitcoms, and the parts they both played in its creation. They reveal how they came to be cast, what it was like to film the series, celebrated stunts and all, the impact the showβs phenomenal success had on their lives and careers, and the point at which they knew it was time to stop.
Itβs a conversation glowing with Michael and Micheleβs affection for the series and for each other, and fans should find it as enjoyable as its stars clearly have done.

Well-meaning. Ineffectual. Utterly accident-prone. Frank Spencer was a walking disaster.
