About this show

Frank Spencer is well-meaning and enthusiastic. Unfortunately he is also a walking disaster area. This highly visual comedy centres on the incompetent Frank and his long-suffering wife, Betty. Whatever he does, poor old Frank always ends up in trouble, whether it’s dangling precariously from a church tower or being dragged along by a double-decker bus while wearing a pair of roller skates.

I would very much like to ask a representative of google play how they managed to turn this from 4:3 to 16:9 without depriving their customers of about 30% of the entire series in screen area. If it has been achieved by some technical wizardry, more power to them, if on the other hand, they chopped off the top and bottom.. Then I will be demanding a refund, I shall find out.
