Five decades on, celebrating the milestone anniversary of a spin off film from one of the most loved sitcoms in British history. Holiday on the Buses accumulated a huge following and to this day, the film is still lodged firmly in so many hearts.

An excellent documentary. So heartwarming to hear the cast speak affectionately about the film. Clearly they had as much fun making it as we still do watching it.

On The Buses (1971), Mutiny On The Buses (1972), and Holiday On The Buses (1973). The last one was my favourite.

I love On The Buses. As a kid in the 70s in Australia, I loved watching it, my Mum let me stay up to watch it on the 7 Network. It was at about 9pm from memory. I have all 3 movies plus the entire series. The best pick me up you can find.

What a thoroughly fantastic documentary on this cult classic. So many stories , antidotes and fun facts. Loved every minute and hats off to Adam Rhode's memory! - Something as good as this deserves to be an extra on physical media releases. Thanks for all the hard work and the interviewees for their time and recollections. Made by fans for the fans with no monetary motivations.

Thanks for a brilliant and very thorough documentary, really enjoyed it. My Grandmother watched the filming of the suitcases going into the river as she worked in a laundry that’s just out of shot at the bottom of the bridge. The boss of the place allowed the workers to watch the filming then docked an hours pay at the end of the week 😂 That evening she saw Reg Varney and the crew in a pub by the bridge (now an Aldi sadly) and said he was a really nice guy, chatting and signing autographs.

Absolutely brilliant viewing such a fantastic tribute to all on the buses cast even 50 years on the sitcom On the Buses and the 3 movie spin offs make brilliant viewing absolutely a timeless classic comedy however it is such a tragedy that The late Bob Grant who played Jack took his life in such sad circumstances as the comic Timing between the Late Reg Varney and Bob Grant and the late Stephen Lewis was brilliant even now when I watch my on the buses dvd collection and the movie spin offs I still laugh so much 😅a classic comedy that will never age 😅😅😂

Brilliant documentary about the film could you do one about on the buses and how it started

@PHADAVIES 6 ай бұрын

Great film . Stayed there a year or two before they made the film. Travelled there in my Dads new MK1 Escort, I remember grandad in his thick black suit and cap in the middle of summer! Lots of memories of the place flood back watching the film. I heard Reg' had a PSV and driven most of the scenes, or was that the series? Great 50th tribute especially Adam Rhodes memory of his time on set.

@OntheBusesDatabase1 6 ай бұрын

Reg hels a PSV but had no insurance. The buses were hired from Eastern National and still in service and insisted on professional bus drivers at all times whilst the buses were out on the road. Reg would have started the bus up and moved it a few feet on the depot set but that was about it.
