On The Buses Day on ITV3 25/05/09


From 8:15am, 13 back to back episodes followed by a documentry about the show and then followed by all 3 films one after another. The whole thing finishes at 9:00pm.

Is anyone brave enough to sit through the whole thing?

I like the Carry Ons but they didn't have as many laugh out loud moments in them as On The Buses had.

UK Gold only show programmes that were originally on the BBC and it's unfair to compare anything to Only Fools and Horses because that was the most watched and best loved comedy show in British TV history.

On The Buses wasn't without it's fans though,many people in comedy grew up loving it,as did millions of people around the country and it's a little known fact that the first On The Buses film took more money at the box office than any other film in 1971.

On The Buses wasn't to everybody's taste and it probably seems dated to some but the fact is,it was one of the best loved comedies of the 60s and 70s and had plenty of funny moments in it.

I absolutely LOVE On The Buses!!!

I remember watching it as a kid when it was rerun here in Australia throughout the late 1970's. I dont think it got much of a look in during the 1980's unfortunately.

Its such a fun, light hearted show... Yep, its sexist, but then Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language are both racist, and I LOVE those shows too!!!

ITV3 (UK) just showed all 3 films back to back Xmas 2009 (can't remember which day) and got them on my new Humax 9300T PVR.

Also ITV3 have been showing odd episodes for weeks now - not in any series/episode order though for some reason.
