I ''grew up'' with MC as Frank! MY fav has to be the Scottish dancing one.At the time,it caused a LOT of excitement because the ending was unexpected - MC not wearing anything under the kilt!If anyones seen that one,the reactions by the extras are totally REAL,inc Michelle Dotrice!!! I also agree with prev comment about his interaction with ''Jessica'' - hes so sweet.I love also the one where hes trying to make her eat''going in the tunnel'' - he looks like hes going to throw up!!Love him!!!
Deep sadness underlies great comedy. Crawford's marriage had ended just prior to his taking this role. The loss of his 2 little girls in the process adds poignancy when he tells Jessica what they'll do together as she grows up. Fine acting.
@boffinme80 Michael Crawford= An EXCELLENT Wizard! Sarah Brightman for G(a)linda too!!! I'll pay a lot of money if Michael and Sarah reunite for Wicked. They'll sell A LOT of tickets! Michael and his dark and emotional Phantom voice matches the Wizard Perfectly and I bet even Sarah could be the funniest Glinda in the West End ever!! That's grab the attention of the West End Phans in London to see Wicked!
Wish The Wizard's vocal range was Tenor and Baritone...
@boffinme80 yeah, i would love him to be the wizard seeing he is the wizard in the wizard of oz at the palladium, but that would be great seeing him perform wonderful, and even Dr Dilomond, he could pall that off, its just a shame he is ill cuz he has an illness that pulled him away from las vagas, i don't know what it is exactly but never the less he still fights on and performs im so glade we have Micheal back in the west end, he is a true icon, no-one can beat him i don't think.
'Predictably crazy results'? Who writes these synopses? This is actually an example of Frank being a good father, expressing his hopes and dreams for their future, something that made the character very likeable. I confess, my impressions are about as up to date as Frank's!
i remba wen they played em on beeb2 in the late 90's afta sum sports show and if they ova run and smdae was cancled i was in a bad mood all evening! i neva get tired of frank!
I absolutely love this. Haha, Michael Crawford is one of my all-time favourite comedians and performers. Who knew that Frank Spencer would become the fantastic voice behind the mask
When I was younger and my auntie Helen used to live with us I used to go in her room and watch "Some mothers do 'ave 'em" every day. God. I did say alot "I love frank spencer" now I say "I love michael crawford"
No , Jessica is not his daughter. She is the daughter of one of the crew members. He has two daughters, Emma and Lucy, both a few years older than Jessica. Emma was born in '66 and Lucy in '68. This show aired in '73, '74 and '78. He also has another daughter from an affair he had before he married. She was born in '65 but the court order is that neither he or her mother ever speak about it. The daughter wishes to remain annonymous.
He does mention 'a child maintenance and breach of promise case' on pg. 90 & 91 of his book. But the London birth and marriage records show that his daughter Angelique Simone was born on Dec. 8, 1965 to his long term girlfriend Patricia Mansell. Within two weeks he married Gabrielle.
on pages 90 & 91 it talks about his relationship with Den his step father after his mothers death etc. u do mean "parcel arrived safely: tied with string"?.
Yes. I have the hardbound copy which is different from the paperback. I will quote it exactly: "It was about this time that I had a child maintenance and breach of promise case brought against me. Both were settled and a court order was agreed to by both parties not to talk or reveal details. Without breaching that order I would just like to say that the child has grown into a very special young person who chooses privacy." This was in the chapter that spoke of 'The Knack"
Beyond amazing! Have you ever seen him in concert? He truly gives his 'ALL' for his fans!! And he always has time for an autograph and a kind word! I have been a fan since Hello Dolly, and unlike most I love EVERYTHING he does. Even the so-called flops! One of his characters that I think he does brilliantly is Dave Finn in 'Chalk and Cheese'. And in this I think I stand alone. But even if the vehicle is weak, Michael is always terrific!!
iv been a massive fan of him for a long time....no i've never seen him live, he doesnt often tour britian any more. my mum went 2 see him in phantom of the opera when she was pregnant with me an apparently i didnt stop kickin all the way through! :D i havent watched chalk and cheese b4 i've heard about it but i dont no were 2 find it! ye i love all his work, im proud he is british :D
What episode is this? I know it's a christmas special but i'd like to know what episode number and what season if there was more than one.

Jessica was 'born' on 27th December 1973, her real name Jessica Forte.
Many of the scenes with the baby were filmed in her real home, so as not to cause distress to the 'young actress'.
