Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1973)

Episode Overview

Frank and Betty have left Betty's mother’s home and are now staying with her brother, George, a cutting-edge designer whose house is filled with quirky remote-controlled gadgets. They’re preparing for a crucial visit from Mr. Fletcher, the head of a major construction company, who wants to see a demo of the high-tech devices. Nervous, Frank tries to impress but ends up breaking the flushing mechanism of the mechanical toilet. His attempts to fix it lead to a chaotic situation, with a toilet brush, a ballcock, and his slippers stuck inside. As water starts leaking into the house and reaching the electrical control room in the basement, the others scramble to keep Mr. Fletcher unaware of the growing disaster. Meanwhile, Frank's repair efforts inadvertently trigger a massive short circuit throughout the house.
