Our feature length documentary ON THE BUSES AT THE MOVIES is available to rent through our VOD channel. here's a link:
OUT NOW on our VOD Channel: vimeo.com/onde...
We continue our celebration of On the Buses with a special edition of #FILMTALK with author and broadcaster, Morris Bright MBE, who goes behind the scenes of the film series. Thanks to Morris, we've also got exclusive clips from never-before-seen interviews with On the Buses cast members Reg Varney, who played bus driver Stan Butler, Anna Karen with plays his sister, Olive, and Stephen Lewis, the iconic Inspector Blake. We also hear from Hammer Films' production supervisor, Roy Skeggs.
We've added the first film in the series, On the Buses, which was released in 1971 to our ever growing list of the greatest films ever made, at least in our opinion. The first film became the biggest grossing film in the UK in 1971.
FILM TALK is all about reviewing and appreciating the greatest films ever made. Each week we publish a new video reviewing and discussing a different classic film that is destined for our list of the 100 greatest films in cinema history, at least the 100 greatest films in our opinion.

I'm 61, my partner 56. We love 'On the Buses' have the series on DVD plus the 3 movies. Have watched them all multiple times. I don't care much for people who say it's political incorrect. It makes us laugh and I understand it for what it's worth. A lot of fun!

I've been working on the buses since I was seventeen back in 1974 .At the time of posting this comment I'm 64 and I'm still working as a bus driver. Back in the seventies when On the buses was made although it was a comedy it was like a documentary. Working on the actual buses was more true to the fiction ,complete with the comedy, than you might think. It's not the same nowadays but back in the seventies we got up to things that would make this programme/film look tame. I once used a bus as a removal lorry to move home !! Happy days !!

I was on the buses from 1975 to 1994. 3 different companies and I agree. Few would believe the fun we had, and the brilliant social life. I managed to stay a conductor all through, until they tried to force me to go driving then OPO. Went lorry driving then. For some reason bus driving never appealed

Stephen Lewis has hit the nail on the head: Comedy is Medicine. Many of today's so called 'woke comedians' that go round denigrating those that came before then ought to remember that as most of them are as funny as an enema.

@michaelreed6849
@michaelreed6849 2 года назад
It is a sad reflection on our culture that people in the media always feel the need to ‘qualify’ their enjoyment of shows like ‘On the Buses’. The irony of them appearing in a documentary about a TV show still loved more than 50 years after it first aired, and making remarks about ‘thankfully’ things not being the same today, seems to be lost on them. The reason people enjoyed Stan and Jack ‘chasing birds’ in their 40s and 50s was precisely because it was ridiculous. That was the joke.
@andyrob3259
@andyrob3259 2 года назад
Yes I picked up on that. It gets tiring listening to them as if they are condescendingly looking down on everyone that found them funny and thereby seeing themselves are morally superior. The funny thing is shows like OTB are remembered fondly 50 years later - these 2 no one knows now - never mind in 50 years. And yes the joke was that we all knew in reality the young clippies would never really pay them attention. We knew they were 'dirty old men' .
@wasntme20
@wasntme20 3 года назад
Those were the days when the actors and actresses the writers etc etc made us laugh didn’t have to worry about being politically correct real entertainment not like today where they think what they say is funny and laugh at their own jokes just to make the audience laugh and they worked hard back then on small salaries. RIP all our old timers who entertained us.

It's sad that you can't make stereotype based comedies on everyday life, lifestyles and political comments of the day. because everyone gets to offended these days, but back then everyone laughed at everything and no one took anything too serious. but if you watch these british comedy films of the 1970s they are a brilliant social record of britian at those times. it was grim but people still laughed it all away.

Great video, but a shame you had to repeat the oft-told myth about the first 'On The Buses' film beating' Diamonds Are Forever' at the UK box office in 1971. I mean, technically it's true, but 'Diamonds Are Forever' was only released in London on December 14th and then nationwide on December 30th! It had only been at cinemas across the country for one day!! 'On The Buses' was released in July of the year, so it's a bit cheeky to compare it to a film that had only been out for a single day. The total gross of 'Diamonds Are Forever' far dwarfed what 'On The Buses' took.

£75-£80,000 next to nothing to make in 1971.. A 3 bedroom house cost about £4000. Allowing for inflation that's about 1-1.2 million in today's money. All filmed nearby, no long distance location shots. So about 90% of that money was the actors wages. So it was an expensive for the time cheap movie.

I reckon if Inspector Blake had been the real "Hitler" as he was called, he would have been a nicer Hitler. Although the real Hitler is an enigmatic person. Before he persecuted certain people and invaded Poland, he apparently banned fox hunting, got all the trains on time, and won a democratic election. He was also a corporal and a painter, so he should have stuck to those things maybe, to be a nicer person, or only made gay people wear pink triangles, to protect one another.

Where ladies can appear on an island, sweating, red-faced and not made up, stinking from lack of proper hygiene, freely letting the F-word rip, with witty humour not being in their repertoire anything making them laugh has to be churlish or R-rated, talking about their sanitary products and how many other women they've bedded. Is it any wonder men are turning away.
