Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The Complete Collection (DVD 2003)

I recently bought this item for my daughter as a Christmas present as she had seen a few episodes and really liked it. After watching the first few episodes it brought back memories of when I was younger and used to watch it myself. It's a classic comedy collection that is simply timeless. The price was great too and for anyone who just likes an easy to watch, simple comedy programme then this is for you. Michael Crawford is brilliant as hopeless Frank Spencer, but you can't help but love him. The collection follows Frank and his wife Betty (Michelle Dotrice) struggling through everyday life as Frank tries to find a job and keep it although his tendency to break everything and anything that he comes across doesn't help. If you just want a good old laugh then this is for you. Brilliant for any age too as there is no violence or swearing. Simply brilliant...

I love this type of daft humour its silly but good fun,I bought it because the price & P&P was reasonable & the fact that it is sealed in new unused condition.
this is good 1970s classic humour.

hes very funny love watching it very nice comady.nothing to dilike about it
i bought it because i love the program and ide buy more

frank spencer is a classic comedy icon,and any one who does not find him funny must have no sense of humour

we sat and watched for hours still some of the of the very best sitcom ever
what ever happen shows like this .

It may be old, but laughs come thick and fast, superb comedy from a master of genius who did is own stunts. A very good touch that will be good for family entertainment is there is no smut, no sex and no bad language - which is a rarety in this day and age. Truly a pleasure to watch, again and again, it's only when you see them on dvd you can appreciate this fantastic comedy, yes it is dated with it's 70's style but that does not matter. My wife and I are very pleased with this boxset and would highly recomend it to anyone - all 22 episodes on 3 dvd's, whenever you are feeling down or depressed - just put these on, sit down and enjoy. Superb entertainment.

Amazing ebay i really enjoyed doing business with them and it arrived in good condition wraped so nice and neatly i really hope i deal with again.

many thanks for everything

I thought this might be a little dated, but it's fine. There is a wonderful innocence about Frank Spencer. I bought it for my kids - so much better than all the psudeo-violent stuff around nowadays. They roared with laughter and watch them over and over again. Fantasic slapstick - Michael Crawford is a complete clown, in the best sense of the word! Great for kids of all ages. He did all his own stunts as well didn't he....???

I bought this for my mom for xmas, shes in her 40's and this was one of her favorite tv programs from her era.
Even i found the slap-stick comedy funny, but this isnt everyones cup of tea so if your not sure do some research first.

You only have to watch the first episode to know what an amazing piece of breakthrough TV comedy this series was.

Non-stop laughter for all the family, still makes me laugh thinking about some of the episodes. Well worth watching (again and again)

this is what i call comedy cant beat the classics all my kids r hooked they age friom 2yrs to 16 yrs

As a native born Australian this was one of the series that sold me on British humour and helped make me a lifelong devotee of the particular genre.
This series is particularly well presented and WILL NOT disappoint even the most critical of reviewers. It's basically the English equivalent of American Slapstick humour (only funny) ... :-)
First time viewers of this benchmark series should prepare themselves for what shall be (and mark my word) the funniest video experience of their life.
Michael Crawford must certainly be one of the true geniuses of 20th century entertainment - Buy this - Enjoy it and tell me if I am wrong. Peter Scurrah Melbourne Australia

The episodes were in great condition for the DVD. No or very little noise seen. Was disappointed at the amount of extras on the disc, being absolutely none.

can't go wrong with frank spencer. quality is really good, and price was amazing, a third of the cheapest price I could find elsewhere. This will keep you entertained for hours!

The hilarious life of one Frank Spencer, who goes from one mishap to the next, never quite getting anything right. The humour is typically 1970s combined with a 'slapstick innocense' which still is as hilarious now as it was then. Although to admit I am not quite sure what his wife Betty sees in Frank, you cannot help but laugh and fall in love with him. He reminds me of a childlike man, never quite grown up to deal with the responsibilities of life and combined with his literal understandings on how he interacts with others and situations can only lead to hilarious consequences.

To those who are unfamiliar to this show it is definitely worth a watch. And it is nice to watch a show that has an unique innocence, is not marred by bad language whilst not being swayed by the political correctness mob.

We have not laughted so much in ages. we have introduced our 11yr old and 16yr old to Frank Spence in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - The complete collection on DVD. The kids are talking to there friends telling them how funny Frank is and what he gets up too. It's great to here them re-act the seens they have just watched or sing his funny rimes and songs. fantastic!!!

found this to be very upsetting experience as i never recieved the dvd no reply to my emails and no refun would be better if ebay stoped them from selling on there this person is no longer registered with ebay so very dissapointed

Well when I ordered this product I ordered two by mistake the seller contacted me and was so helpful he had assumed that i had ordered two by mistake and without any fuss or bother canceled the other order....now this is the style and quality of shopping on the internet that one really doesnt get that often I would definalty shop here again because of the freindly helpful way in which I was treated and well the quality of the service extrtemly quick by post.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that this dvd collection is now almost impossible to find in the shops....yet it transends the generations as my two children absoultly fell about laughing when we all sat down to watch it it is palyed constantly when they are with me and a real happy family treat for us all...thankyou for keeping the sulpply of great myrth and comedy and for keeping us oldies....and youngies very entertained and filled with laughter...

This is a very entertaining comedy.......
The entire family will enjoy!
It makes you laugh out loud.

he is a con artist he is robbing everyone get the police involved please thankyou ebay if not i am going elsewhere

Classic Classic comedy in the old school manner in that children can and will watch it as it contains no modern day smut or inuendos, and the older ones like me can watch it as a reminder of the classics from the 70's. My 17 year old daughter loves all the 'old' stuff including Some Mothers, Fawlty Towers, Steptoe, On The Buses etc. These actors had/have more talent in a little finger that talentless idiots such as Russell Brand and Jonathan Woss (both a pair of losers, I would say somethin' stronger but this is a family site). Highly recommended, deffo.
