In the opening credits on the DVDs we have, Jack is saying 'something something, please.' What is he saying? It is a repeat of something he says on the bus in one of the episodess of series 1. There are no subtitles and it's driving me crazy not to know!!!

It's the same phrase that Jack uses at 3:40 in this episode, Foggy Night, Part 1:

He says it every time he rings the bell for Stan to start the bus. I don't know if he is speaking to the passengers or to Stan.

Jack's saying," Hold very tight please."

I thought he was saying something about Elvis. LOL!

It is definitely "hold very tight please", all real conductors used to say it (especially when they had standing passengers) when they rang the bell twice, which was the signal to the driver to pull off.
