This man is a God in my eyes. From Frank Spencer to Barnham, and Phantom. He has done it all, and also done all his stunts, learned to tightrope walk, had to learn how to sing for Phantom, and now works with children's charities. I saw him in The Wizard of Oz at the Palladium, but sadly missed Phantom, which I shall regret for ever. And what a wonderful smile he has! Love him!
Frank Spencer is a gift to England and the world. A kind warm man, flushing with bundles of tallent. I like millions in Ireland, sat, watching, "Some Mothets Do Have l"m," and laughted so hard that it hurt my jaw. What a lovely sweet man: God Bless his soul. Owen in Donegal.
Could NOT agree more! I mean if Andrew Lloyd Webber was awarded one, then Michael Crawford deserves one too! I love him to this day like the first time I saw him in Hello Dolly. Only thing was, when ii first listened to the POTO album, I didn't recognize his voice at all! It'd changed a'course, but still... SIGH.
Michael said "Frank" was a "Gift from Heaven" He was a great, and is, a "Great" inspiration to us all. I grew up in an abusive environment, and Michael, in his role as "Frank" helped me make sense of it all.
Frank Spencer has played a big part in our tv lives but as we have learned here Frank has been a force for good in another way , I like the way Michael says for him "Frank was a gift from heaven "
I adored his live presentation of 'Music In The Night' again recently; absolutely Brilliant: what a voice! Goosebumps at the end.. I admire how these wonderful celebrities survive the sometimes tongue in cheek interviews ..... and finish to the end with a smile! Isn't it wonderful?!
It is nice to see Crawford - who is now, obviously, a global musical superstar, *not* disparaging the cheap BBC sitcom he starred in in the 1970s, but to say 'it was a gift'.
Love him as a performer, and he totally rocked in Phantom with that Amazing voice of his! I didn't know what a natural comedian he is! He's witty, great sense of humor, and above all a compassionate human being. What a Gem!
Have you not seen “Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em?” with Michael in his role as Frank Spencer? THAT series made him a household name in U.K. The comedy show still makes me laugh today. He did all of his own stunts. Look it up on RU-vid, especially the roller skating stunt!
A very different take on the tragedy of 9.11. I still can't believe it has been so long. My memories of that day are very fixed in my mind. Everyone was so quiet trying to get through that day. From the little Canadian town that I lived in then, we were united with concern and prayers and empathy for our southern neighbours.
I just found this delightful video while fishing around in RU-vid and what a treat! I love love live theater and my greatest disappointment has been that I never got to see MC in Phantom. It just breaks my heart. I did manage to see him in Dance of the Vampires (he was the best thing in a not-very-good show) and in the Vegas show. Sadly it was all props and special effects and Michael was lost in the middle of it all. The best show I saw was a one-man concert performance he did called "Michael Crawford sings Andrew Lloyd Webber". Just having Michael on a stage, in a tuxedo, singing all that beautiful music and telling the funny stories was FABULOUS!!!
I can't believe that Michael Crawford is the same age as my mother. It's interesting that Michael Crawford started out in comedy. Another man that portrayed the Phantom, who has recently passed away, Robert Guillaume, was in the comedy Benson.
What a legend Michael Crawford is !! I used to watch Some mother's do ave em with my son and now we still say things from the show !! God Bless you Michael!!!!!
Imagine saying that today with all this wokeness. This part of the 21st century is definitely completely different to the very beginning of the century. You could get away with more things back then.
With the interviewer mentioning he came from New York, saying that it must of been spooky and Michael Crawford describing his air travel I realized that this took place after 9/11.
micheal crawford was a childhood star in the 1950s with the bfi childrenns unit . used to do his own stunts as teenager the knack and how to swing it was his first proper adullt role produced by the late great producer Micheal Deely
Nowadays MC would be called a racist, because everyone is so fucking sensitive these days. I love him so much for not being afraid to make fun of everyone, including himself.
Most people wouldn't be able to define the word 'racist' even if their lives depended upon it. Similarly with the word 'racism'. It's weird because so many people use both of those words so often.
i'm quite sure he's in "wall e.." that animation.. there's a bit where wall e plays a bit of an olde musical, on an olde telly in his shipping container home.. definitely sure it's Barbara Streisand and also Michael Crawford LoL.. i must be nuts!! 😄
I am very happy to be connected to "Some Mothers Do Have Them". I am happy there's Michelle as if female of Michael. After Jesus rose, in John 20:12, Mary Magdalene sees two men in white. There were Angels Michael and Gabriel. Thank God for Michael in the gospels. God bless your team. ✝️🙏😁😭🇬🇧
