A Day Out With Frank

Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, Fathers’ Clinic, 1973

It’s Easter Holidays and we’re still thinking about days out.  If you’re going for a day out with Frank Spencer what could go wrong?

Monkey business and an incident with roller skates.  This classic episode is taken from the second series first screened late 1973.

Summary

In preparation for parenthood, Betty has been looking after two young children from the neighbourhood and she convinces Frank to come along on one of their outings. The girls seem wary of Frank at first, but his accident-prone ways which they find hilarious soon win them over.

From an incident in the zoo to an elaborate stunt when Frank, who is roller skating at a rink, manages to burst through the fire exit and on a perilous journey through the streets, dodging buses and cars, ducking under lorries and finally crashing into a baby shop.  It’s classic Frank all the way.
