Just bought and watched the three movies..its hard to beat great 70s classic comedy.......brings me back to my younger days......Great stuff.

It was good to see Anna Karen on the Sunday Night Project on Channel 4 last Sunday night. The guest for the evening was Barbara Windsor and she had Anna as one of the team players on a quiz to determine who knew most about Barbara. It was great to see her looking so well so soon after the death of Terry Duggan.

My mother knew David Lodge who was often seen in On the Buses and the Carry On films. She has dementia now but still loves to watch on the buses in particular. I have also been a huge fan and found I can watch each episode over and over again as if I had never seen it before. When I look at recent comedy on TV many of the gags and plots are recycled from comedies such as On the Buses. It shows how original the writers were at the time and how their humour is timeless.

I was shocked to hear of Bob Grant's death as I was working in mental health at the time and I have not really got over the circumstances of it - he will be missed greatly. Good to also see Stephen Lewis on Last of the Summer wine and it brings back fond memories. Will have to get another copy of the box set of the buses films as my mum and I have surely wore our copy down - we must have watched each film at least 30 to 40 times. Am just about to buy the whole series in the next week or two so happy days ahead. Thanks to all involved in the series and films for the pleasure you have given all my family past and present.

I've just come across your website and what awebsite!! On the Buses was a great show espeically for me (being a bus enthusiast for many years!) because our local Tilling Group / British Transport Holdings Company, CROSVILLE MOTOR SERVICES had similar vehicles to Eastern National (infact Crosville's last Bristol FLFs were Gardner 6LX engined "Semi auto" buses DFG244 to 263, SFM244-263F like EN's (DFG being Crosville's fleet code D for Decker F for "FlatFloor" G for Gardner) Crosvilles other FLFs were DFB "Decker Flat Floor Bristol" these being fitted with the Bristol BVW 8.9 litre engine and I belive they were gutless, unlike the 6LX powered vehicles. Keep up with the good work with the website! J

I forgot to say that I met Stephen Lewis (Blakey) about 10 years ago at the bus and coach show at the NEC Birmingham, such a nice man to talk to, not a bit like he used to be in the series.
I also used to live quite close to Bob Grant and often used to meet him when he was out shopping etc. It was a great shame when he killed himself in 2003.

Modern comedy could never live up to this show, wish it could be revived somehow, then again it wouldn`t be the same anyway so it`s probably best left as just a golden memory.
Ian08-07-2008 - 18:02
I have just upgraded all the original videos to DVDs, the videos had been watched so many times they were just about worn out. I am a bus driver in Wales and we often get together with other drivers just to watch an episode or 2, just can`t seem to get enough of it.
Fantastic British comedy although the final series was not quite the same without Stan.

I'm a Canadian and love British comedy.
I'm also an avid fan of "On the buses".
That comedy series was the best of any Canadian or American comedy I've seen to date. I wish they would bring that series back to tv today. On the buses could still stand up to any series today. You cannot help but laugh through that 1/2 hr. program

I recently bought the box set of On the Buses and watch it time & time again. The show brings back many happy memories of growing up and is still better than any of the so called comedy shows on TV today, and still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.
I would love to have a chance to meet with Reg Varney and shake his hand and thank him for all the laughs they brought to me and my family then and now.
Well done on a very well presented and informative web site.

I was driving the 'Green' RML 2428 on behalf of Sullivan Buses during the OTB event on the 28-06-08 and would just like to say I am glad you all had a good time! Wish all our passengers were as polite as you lot were! Was a shame Reg Varney could not have been there as I would dearly love to have met 'Stan Butler' and also Jack (RIP)
