A 90-minute one-off special celebrating one of Britain's best-loved comedies, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, which featured one of comedy's most imitated creations - Frank Spencer.

This remarkable comedy was unique among 70s sitcoms with the multi-talented Michael Crawford performing some of the greatest physical comedy stunts ever seen on the small screen.

Packed with the funniest clips, along with insight and analysis from comedy performers, writers and crew, we look back at how Frank came to be created, what his greatest moments were, and celebrate his comedy legacy.
