Meet Frank Spencer, an eager young man trying to find his way in the world. He's enthusiastic, well-meaning... and disaster-prone.
The peaks and the valleys. Find the essential episodes — and the ones to skip.
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.
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.
Frank manages to mess up the library card system without actually getting a book out; he then returns to the farm supplies firm with one more chicken than he let escape. Frank finds out that the 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 seaside.
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.
