On The Buses

I'd be considered born well after the era of On the buses but I own the DVDs and I love it. It's innocent naughty humour. I like the films too, holiday on the buses more than mutiny.
 

I'm also well past the era, and have yet to check out OTB itself (damn my poor- and lazi-ness), but do love that kind of comedy too.

Despite being one who remembers On The Buses with great affection, I can't agree with Craig that it's the best ever but it certainly was a huge success in its time. Even now whenever I hear the name Butler on the TV or radio I can't stop myself uttering the immortal line "I hate you Butler" which poor old Blakey the bus inspector came out with at least once in every episode after Stan Butler got one over on him yet again.

I thought it was great fun, but then what do I know - I'm currently reading Jeffery Archer's latest book and thoroughly enjoying it!!




 

I did say,and this is important,than in my opinion,it is the best sitcom of all time.

Of course everyone has their own opinions and favourites.

I always used to think that if Stan and Jack could pull all the dolly birds I was still in with a chance.(but looking back at my hair and shirt of the time I could have been wrong. )

I'm afraid I remember it at the time and didn't think much of it. It was a typical ITV comedy - and that's not being complimentary. There was always something missing from ITV comedies. I could say the humour but there were lots of jokes and funny situations but - without seeming to be too pretentious - they weren't clever. (Please Sir and the Lovers being exceptions from this time).

I love On The Buses, have all the TV episodes plus the 3 feature film as well. The last series wasn't as good, because of course Michael Robbins had left and then Reg Varney left half way through.
 

I notice the ITV3 are running some of the later episodes of this on a Saturday morning, the ones without 'Arthur'. They really are piss poor. Much as I can enjoy On the Buses in a kind of regressive way, these later episodes are purely embarrassing.
