Wiggo and Michael CrawfordOooh…Bradley: Frank Spencer to meet Wiggo for Sport Relief
Sir Bradley Wiggins will feature alongside Frank Spencer in a one-off special of BBC comedy, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, for this year’s Sport Relief.
Michael Crawford says he is "thrilled and delighted" to reprise Frank Spencer, who will also be reunited with his on-screen wife, Betty (Michele Dotrice), for the sketch. According to the BBC Wiggins makes his appearance, before one of Frank’s trademark disasters ensues.
Judging by the last time Spencer was seen near wheeled transport we could be in for a real treat: at the height of his physical comedic powers Crawford, now 74, did all his own stunts, displaying in one particular episode a frankly incredible show of rollerskatesmanship.
Sir Bradley says: "I am a huge fan of Michael so it's an absolute honour to be asked to be involved alongside such an icon of British television... and all for a great cause."
Wiggo is billed the radio star - critic hails Sir Brad's Archers guest spot for Sport Relief
Michael Crawford said: "I am thrilled and delighted to have been asked to bring Frank back".
This will be the latest in a line of BBC appearances for Sir Brad, though the first involving on-screen acting: in 2015 Wiggo edited Radio 4’s Today Programme, while in 2014 he appeared on the Archers to present prizes for Ambridge’s Rough and Tumble Race.
The last episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em aired on Christmas Day in 1978.

Tend to agree with Rendel - while I'm sure well-intended, it's an ill-judged post.
Well Soudal do sell their products in the UK too. It's what I buy in B&Q because it's the only brand I've heard off and that's from cycling.
Terrible story and genuine sympathy for the lady, and I realise this could easily look like victim blaming, but I'm 6 foot tall, male and built...
I really wasn't convinced by the inferences in this particular study. I'm certainly convinced by others, but this one seems to miss the most...

Welcome to Car Crashes into Building.
You need to watch cyclocross. Maximum 1 hour of racing. Awesome edge of the seat stuff (especially when MVP isn't riding).
Cases of hung, drawn and caught? Or if not in favour of the rules, hung, drawn and court erred?
I think that's fair. Just noting that as you've written that you can see that it's incredibly hard to get away from any narrative of "we need at...
Norwich cycling said it doesn't cut through and uses an exsiting path parallel with the allotment border....
