The eccentric, milquetoast Frank Spencer, who often wears his trademark beret and trench coat, is married to the apparently normal Betty ( Michele Dotrice), and in later series they have a baby daughter, Jessica. The expression "some mothers do have them" was once a common British euphemism to refer to a foolish or inept person. The series was originally conceived under the working title Have a Break, Take a Husband. In the 2004 series Britain's Best Sitcom, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em placed 22nd in the list of all British sitcoms. The sitcom was noted for its stunt work, performed by Crawford himself, and it featured several well-known and much-lampooned catchphrases that have become part of British popular culture.
The series follows the accident-prone Frank Spencer and his tolerant wife Betty through Frank's various attempts to maintain a job, which frequently end in disaster. The series regularly garnered 25 million viewers and was broadcast in 60 countries. After a three-year absence, the programme returned for a third series in 1978 and again in 2016 for a one-off special. It was first broadcast in 1973 and ran for two series, including two Christmas specials in 19. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is a British sitcom broadcast on BBC1, created and written by Raymond Allen and starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice.
