There are really funny British sitcoms, then there are really funny funny British sitcoms. This one joins the latter. As never knowing not that much about it, when as a kid, piled up in front of the t.v, I was reunited with re runs a couple of years back, where I remembered just what a funny show this one was. Of course I never forgot the opening theme, where as a 7 year old boy I used to sing to it's tune with my own lyrics, if you can believe that. Frank Spencer is a walking disaster, the clutz's of clutz's, he makes Timothy Lea from the Confession movies, look small fry. Two of the best that stick out was the learning to drive and fly one, the learning to drive one, had me and stitches. Michael Crawford, a beautiful singer, was just an acting revelation here. No other actor could of brilliantly fitted his shoes. "Oh Betty", those trademark words, I hear, here and there from people. There are so many other episodes I loved so much. And that voice, oh that voice, and that beret, Frank Spenser's famous for, plus those sorry and worrying face gestures of his, irreplaceable, just like this brilliant show. The wife was good too, about the other real person who believed in our Frank.
