Plot

Frank Spencer, with his trademark beret and catchphrase "Ooh, Betty!", made this 1970s sitcom into a television classic that is still loved and imitated today. Never was Frank's brilliant incompetence better displayed than in these extended Christmas specials - the climax of each of the comedy's three series.

Jessica's First Christmas
52 mins  1974
Frank was looking forward to playing Joseph in the annual Nativity play, but the parish wisely casts another. Meanwhile his 'RAF record' got Frank a job with Mr. Hudson's firm, working under his neighbor Jackson, who hates the noise Frank makes at anything. Jackson has secret activities in the firm's basement, too close to Frank whose bumbling is blamed on the foreman. Father O'Hara lets Frank take charge of the Nativity sets and effects: an ill-considered act of charity cast and church will suffer from.

His worries about another unemployment are alleviated when he receives a BBC letter, (worrying Betty) he was entered for a handyman program, which comes to film his 'achievements' in the house.

Learning To Fly

Courtesy of granddad Spencer, who visits from Australia, Frank gets the flying lesson he always craved.

Frank's maiden flight goes from bad to worse, as he inadvertently knocks instructor Barker unconscious.
