Tickets please for a non-stop journey of laughter, in the original film of the hit tv series.
When the Town and District Bus Company finds itself short-staffed, it is Inspector Blake who comes up with the brilliant idea of employing women drivers. The company are delighted but the bus crews – led by Stan Butler and his conductor Jack – are horrified. Not only do they now lose out on overtime but the women are considered to be distinctly unattractive.
- EVERGREEN: ON THE BUSES remains one of the most popular British sitcoms of all
time. The TV series has sold thousands of units on DVD in NZ – fans will
be keen to add it
to their “journey”!
- TOP OF THE CHARTS: So successful was ON THE BUSES, this first film in the franchise
was the top money earner at the British Box Office in 1971, even out-grossing
James
Bond's DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. The success spawned three sequels – also
available in
THE BRITANNIA COLLECTION.
- RARE: Includes the never-before-available Original Theatrical Trailer to the film,
transferred from the vaults at Pinewood Studios especially for this release.
