takes me back. not least because the brunette physio that the camera zooms in on about 1:35 in is the first to take her bra off in the film That'll Be The Day. pure coincidence i found it obviously.

On The Buses will always be my favourite but let's face it 99% of British comedy shows in the '70's were appalling.

Can you image this getting the nod of approval today?

I know but still funny in the film when he bowls him a cricket ball to the bollocks!

The one trully great trilogy in film history ??Sod the Godfather its On the Buses,Holiday on the Buses and Mutiny on the Buses.Unsurpassable.

May mate is the authority on 70's/80's crap comedy and often quotes Never the Twain in the pub!

Huzzah! I've been saying this for years and been getting treated like an escaped lunatic for my trouble.

This is also a genuine classic:
