Frank Spencer is more than just a complete klutz.
Everything he touches falls apart, and he can't
keep a job for more than a day. The only thing
that keeps him going is his long-suffering wife
Betty, who somehow manages to cope with his
disaster-prone life-style.

Season 1

S1-Ep1 The Salesman's Job.

Since Frank Spencer's mother died and he married Betty,
her mother can't decide what's worst: her girl moving
out or the one-man walking -rather stumbling-
disaster-area staying, as everything he touches is
doomed. A salesman job interview demonstrates Frank's
inverse Midas-touch on the iron mongery company lift
and his social skills being both scary and scared, his
mental age embryonic.

S1-Ep2 Visiting the Brother-In-Law.

Frank and Betty spend a weekend with her brother George
Fisher, who is about to show off his gadget-filled
'fool-proof' home with his partner to a building boss,
who may pay George's firm a fortune for the concept.
Alas a simple lavatory visit from Frank, who was supposed
to remain unnoticed, suffices to start a catastrophic
chain of 'accidents', which worsens while they try to
cover it up.

S1-Ep3 Crossing the Road and Phoning the Doctor.

When Betty's mother comes to Frank's place, sick, Frank
gets sent to call the doctor from the neighbor's house.
He's a scriptwriter who already mistrusts the noisy klutz,
but once Frank has been inside his life turns into the
same kind of nightmare as Frank's family's. It's no picnic
for Dr. H.S. Smedley or his script companion either.

S1-Ep4 Going on Holiday.

Frank boards the train for his second honeymoon -the first
time he landed in the wrong town. At the hotel, things start
go really wrong when he tries to push the single beds together,
gradually wrecking the whole room. Looking for replacements,
he and Betty raid a neighboring room (funny Kenny's room),
causing him to complain to manager Bedford about haunting,
presuming it's his late grandpa.

S1-Ep5 The Hospital.

While Betty is in hospital, Frank makes a masterly mess of
the kitchen and the shopping. Next he raids the flowers from
the reception at the start of a bad hospital visit. Frank
is scolded, confused with a depressive patient's neglecting
husband, and carries out inappropriate instructions, for too
many patients.

S1-Ep6 The Psychiatrist.

When Betty sends Frank to a psychiatrist, the doctor's
confident that Frank's problem is a lack of confidence
but this slowly crumbles as every routine question
unleashes a catalog of bumbling and ineptitude which
antagonizes everyone, including Frank's family, even his
own late mother.

S1-Ep7 The Labour Exchange.

When the new employment exchange manager Bradshaw insists
that everyone can be helped, veteran Hooper gladly passes
on the hopeless case of Frank Spencer. Both his serial
disaster-record and 'qualification' (25 meter breaststroke,
after 'attending' many schools, till age 11, no actual
classes) support Hooper's point amply. Yet Frank acts
indignant, and Bradshaw insists on trying - betting he'll
keep a job for a week. The only way to win is to employ
Frank himself, but this proves far more costly and dangerous
for everyone and everything.

Season 2

S2-Ep1 Frank Goes Over the Edge.

Frank manages to mess up the library card system, without
actually getting a book out and returns to the farm supplies
firm with one more chicken then he let escape. Frank finds
out that job he's going for with the farm supplies company
comes with a company car. He lies he has a driving license
and passes the interview with stand-in recruiter Henry.
So they take the car for a picnic to the sea-side.

S2-Ep2 The R.A.F. Reunion.

Frank's impending Royal Air Force reunion causes him to
relive his brief and disastrous time in training for the RAF.

S2-Ep3 The P.R. Course.

Tired of disappointing Betty as breadwinner, Frank signs up for a PR training course.
One introductory reception, a night in the dorm and a morning class with Frank
being his bumbling, naive self suffice to cause fights, damage and utter break-down
of concept and confidence, even for seasoned instructor Watson.

S2-Ep4 Frank and Marvin.

Betty and gynecologist Dr. H.S. Smedley have reason to worry when she must
give Frank her good news: they're expecting a baby, but Frank is unemployed
again. His next job is as animator in Mr. Lockwood's holiday camp, with self-made
ventriloquist's monkey-dummy (already with an unfit second head) Marvin, is alas
Frank's equal in IQ and ability to produce lip-less sound. The camp is in utter
manpower penury, so Frank is auditioned: a testing experience his prospective
colleague Roy will never forget.

S2-Ep5 Frank Is Introduced to Fatherhood.

Because Frank passed out in the only fatherhood class he attended, after one minute
of the 'dirty film', Betty takes him along to a cousin's daughters, who only enjoy his
inadvertent monkey-business, ultimately actually co-starring with a zoo chimp.
Frank's loan credentials prove perfect- for refusal and expulsion. When he actually
attends a class, that proves fatal for its entire course, and for peace among
expecting families.

S2-Ep6 The Baby Arrives.

Frank endless premature fussing about the unborn baby drives everyone nuts, even
when he's not bringing Betty to the hospital for another trial run or false alarm to
Dr. Boyde's rising horror. Frank is still unable to do it properly when the time comes,
in fact it goes badly wrong. Still they insist Frank comes inside the delivery room.

Season 3

S3-Ep1 Moving House.

The Spencers are moving, as the council sees no other hope for the house Frank has
been wrecking with his 'repairs' for years, as dramatically proven when they leave.
Betty drives too fast, so the movers's van which must follow has an accident. At their
new home, also council owned, neighbor Lewis soon learns sharing a house with Frank
means living in a live disaster area.

S3-Ep2 Wendy House.

Frank brings a stray dog home, and calls it Columbo. The insurance damage assessor
reduces his ludicrous record moving claim to £40. In order to do some repairs and
replacements himself, Frank has enlisted on a wood-shop course. His super-glue
efforts manage to glue several people together including a passer-by and a naively
helpful conductor - they all end up in hospital. Frank then starts on a Wendy house
for Jessica but has to get it out of the building.

S3-Ep3 Scottish Dancing.

Frank is jealous of Betty's attention towards her neighbor, Roland Quincy, within
the Scottish dance group. As chairman of the local liberal party, Roland, with Frank
as secretary, stages a performance for Scottish MP MacDougall's visit, to be given
by able dancers - but not Frank. However, while greeting the MP at the railway
station Frank causes an accident disabling his chairman, so he gets to stand in.

S3-Ep4 Men as Women.

Frank proves a destructive streak doesn't qualify for the demolition business,
incurring a hearing impairment. Grandpa Spencer writes to announce his arrival
in Britain. Dr. Mender is annoyed by Frank's frequent pointless visits, this time a
present for him as his birthday is the same as Jessica's. Frank also sees him
rehearse with another doctor for the hospital pantomime, but doesn't get it.
A fake alert for Jessica brings each doctor in turn, pressed for time to change
from the stage costumes.

S3-Ep5 Motorbike.

Frank takes a course in motorbike riding for a courier job with dodgy Mr. Hunt,
who only took him as too dumb to ask questions, but can't even find the route,
and the examiner gets run over by a similarly dressed motor-biker. Even his
wife Betty dreads the idea of him behind the wheel and deliveries depending on
his performance. At home, Frank tries out a self-made metal detector, dreaming
of finding Roman remains. At his first delivery, 'deamon king' manages to block
the break, starting his usual wild ride, everywhere unsafe. At the other side of
the radio, Mr. Hunt ...

S3-Ep6 Australia House.

Frank is all excited about the prospect of emigrating to Australia, with his
visiting grandpa, who is getting on Betty's nerves. First Frank demonstrates
how a fence can give offense between neighbors. Next he drags Betty to
Australia House, where the chief immigration officer is driven to utter despair
but unable to make clear how inept Frank is, even if Betty weren't hesitant.
Next a chimney-cleaning client, again neighbor Lewis and the milkman suffer
the Spencer inverse Midas touch, whether they fight it or not.

bedraggled examiner, who has made rapidly for the
