Some Mothers do ‘Ave ‘Em – Complete Collection (1973)

This slapstick BBC sitcom from the 1970s features Frank Spencer who is accident-prone but always tries his best and his long-suffering, but loyal wife Betty.

There is normally a stunt close to the end of each episode, some of which do look quite dangerous, and as the series moves on Frank and Betty move house, and have a baby (although Jessica doesn’t feature very much).
