Well, this is it. The penultimate series and the last series with all the crew. The episodes themselves are perhaps a bit weaker than previous, but still very funny (the episode where Olive tries to make Arthur jealous is hilarious). Four of the episodes were co-written by Blakey and Jack and sadly none by Chesney and Wolfe (who contributed to 13 episodes of the last series) and I think these episodes reflect that. This DVD is only a single disc and down from 15 shows to 7, but network have included some wonderful extras. We have part of the Reg Varney Hour, which ironically lasts 1/2 hour and a couple of minutes of silent raw news footage of the crew opening a housing estate in Braintree and Reg opening a menswear store called John Walton. Very interesting. The episodes themselves are complete.

ON THE BUSES WAS A CLASSIC SITCOM.
THE FINAL SERIES DOES NOT HAVE ARTHUR - OLIVES HUSBAND AND THEN THE MAIN STAR STAN LEAVES HALF WAY THROUGH THE SERIES.
THE SHOW CARRYS ON ALRIGHT WITH BLAKEY AND JACK THE MAIN STARS.
THE FINAL EPISODE IS VERY STRANGE - SOMETHING TO DO WITH A GARDEN SHOW.
IT WAS TIME TO END THE SERIES - DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GET THE FIRST 3 SERIES WHEN THE SHOW SHOWED WHY IT IS THE BEST SHOW OF THE 70s.

The penultimate series of 'On The Buses' with a meagre seven episodes. There are more written by Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis here; including others by George Layton. In one episode we see the 'Butlers' as they were before Arthur married Olive in flashbacks (Arthur looking good with a fall head of hair!) This is the season we say farewell to Michael Robbins, as his character 'Arthur' divorces Olive in the first episode of the last season, but does not appear. The Ad. Bumpers in this set are intact.
This was the first DVD to include any bonus material; the first is a collection of clips from 'The Reg Varney Comedy Hour' and the second is two newsreel features, where unfortunately the sound has been lost.

enjoyed most of the episodes but it did seem a little flat almost as if some new it was reaching its sell by date

Tired, well past the sell by date and lost for ideas... .. .
I admit it.. I'm a bit of a fan of 'On The Buses' mainly because of the down to earth 70's humour reminiscent of the period that I was brought up in and there are some episodes in... Read more
