You remember the voice, the beret and the "ooh Betty" catchphrase (although he only said it once). You might not remember the weird character change in series three, where Frank becomes sort of pompous and arrogant and even a bit unlikeable.
That said, there's plenty to enjoy, even if some of the episodes are a little clunky. Michael Crawford's Frank Spencer is a superb comedy creation, although quite what the lovely Betty saw in him I'll never know.
The stunts, all performed by Crawford himself (odd that the camera tends to zoom away from the action which makes you think it's a stuntsman) are a rarity in sitcoms. They range from slapstick to downright dangerous (Frank hanging onto a moving train, for example).
It's obviously a little worn around the edges at this point in time, and the quality dips from episode to episode. It's still funny and still worth your time.
