Frank Spencer Migrating To Australia

A classic funny sketch where Frank Spencer and his wife are applying to migrate to Australia to live with there uncle in out back Australia. This is an absolute classic. I am sure you will also laugh out loud.

[@isabelserrano6018]

I'm almost 61,and watching this brings back such memories, of my age of 12/13, and my departed parents laughing away when this was on. This man was a comedy genius.

There’s never been a funnier comedy character than Frank. He’s peerless.

[@fretboardmaster70]

Sad thing was, many years later when Michael Crawford was working in Theater for Phantom of The Opera, some member of staff that I knew, said that he was a right little shit to his staff. Hard to believe but there you go. Maybe he didn’t like the blue M and Ms

[@hugebartlett1884]

You would wait all week for these shows,and not stop laughing from beginning to end. Remember the roller skates episode,doing all his own stunts,a classic!

[@kathrynjaneway5346]

Mr Crawford/Frank is magical for now until forever. In his voice and in his everything. Legends live for lifetime. All our love from Scotland, UK

Edward Hardwicke - very good comic acting here, and passable Ozzie accent from an Englishman in an English production

[@simonfrost7094]

I thought I recognised him! He's perhaps better known as playing Dr. Watson to Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes in the Granada ITV adaptations from the late 80s/early 90s.

Trivia: Edward Hardwicke who played the emigration officer also played Mr Hooper the job advisor in The Employment Exchange episode.

He also played Dr. Watson in the best Sherlock Holmes series every, with Jeremy Brett. Him and David Burke. That is another spectacular series.

[@Sion.Ryan.Green.]

Yep and my hubby's one of them. He has Aspergers ...brain damage via vaccines, he can't read people, and he takes things they say literally. His antics are hilarious, you just wouldn't believe the things he does, I didn't at first, but now I know he doesn't do them on purpose. He was warned not to go off with anyone outside the hotel he stayed in, in Gambia, then once outside, a man asked him if he wanted to see around the place, and he thought that would be nice, an hour later he was in the middle of nowhere and the man said he had to leave, so my hubby asked him how to get back and he summoned a car, he said was a taxi, and my hubby had to pay a fortune to this """taxi guy""""" to get back!!!!!
