The television sitcom archives look set to be raided again, with the news that the Michael Crawford-headlined Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em could be getting a modern day reboot.
Comedian Joe Pasquale has snagged the rights to the show, and presumably has his eye on the lead role of Frank Spencer. He confirmed to the Express that “I am in talks to get the show back on TV and working closely with the original writer, Raymond Allen”.
The pair have been working on the script for the new take on the show for a good year or two, with Allen reportedly regarding Pasquale as “the only person who can” play Frank Spencer, other than Michael Crawford.
It’s still a project in gestation, though, so we wait and see what happens next…
