I loved watching On The Buses when I was younger, and because it no longer is on TV today, I thought I would buy it so that my little boy could watch it.

This dvd is brilliant. I would highly recommend it for all ages. Films to watch over and over again. Old comedy classics. I decided to buy it as i loved it as a child. After watching it with my daughter, i cant get her to put it down either! It is the best money ive spent in ages!

On the Buses box set 2 DVD's 3 films

Every student of sociology and politics should watch the 'On the Buses' films for the simple reason that they are a relatively authentic snapshot of late 60's / early 70's life in a working class scenario.

To set the scene, living through the late 60's early 70's, I remember the strikes, industrial action, worker militancy, power blackouts and the writers of the On the Buses TV episodes and the films really had it taped. Today, the carryings on from the films and TV episodes look dated and unacceptable in today's world of political correctness and industrial relations, but the way it was written and played then was spot on.

Anyone studying industrial relations should really watch these films to see how much influence the Unions and the Shop Stewards wielded in those days of old, how easy it was to bring a company to a halt - this isn't a political point just an observation we have with the benefit of hindsight today and with Unions not as strong as they were or able to act as quickly.

The Film and TV episodes provided comedy which was probably aimed at the working class man in the street who could identify with the charachters they were seeing on screen. These charachters were probably based on real people who had come through the hardships of WW2 and the post war rationing and austerity, expecting the easier life and better life.

The main charachters were Bus Driver Stan Butler played by Reg Varney a seasoned actor who made the part his own and seemed to enjoy every moment on camera. Stan's Conductor Jack Harper was played by Bob Grant, Inspector Blake 'Blakey' was played by Stephen Lewis who always seemed to come off worse when Butler and Harper were around. Doris Hare played Stan's mum, Michael Robbins (another seasoned charachter actor) played Stan's brother in law Arthur, Anna Karen (attractive in real life) played the frumpy Olive sister of Stan.

Post war America by contrast was bigger, better, technologically advanced and what people in Britain aspired to have - the same standards of living and wealth, Britain in contrast to America was a shambling amateurish make do operation with definate class divisions and a 'what school you went to' divided society, still showing the scars of WW2 with bomb sites and streets with missing houses where the Luftwaffe had struck.

Were these better times? Who knows, they had advantages and disadvantages just as exists today, it is quite fun to look back at those times with nostalgia, OK so these are films, but probably not too far from the truth! Recommended if you think the old days were better! The skirts were certainly shorter, not arf! The films are also an important social study - look closely at the set scenes, analyse the expectations of the charachters how they seem trapped in their social pigeon holes with a lack of social mobility, the inevitability that generations would follow generations in some sort of trudging treadmill of travail of inevitability. One wonders if like Summer Holiday from 1962 whether this was a subliminal recruiting vehicle for the passenger transport industry, the reality would be somewhat different.

But if this depresses you, just watch these films through the eyes of Stan Butler and admire the chest furniture allegedly. And why not!

you cannot beat the old comedies and these films proof it. i remember watching these when i was little. i always wanted to own them so i can watch them again and again.
all the characters are brilliant. it proofs you can have a good comedy without any swearing in it.

This dvd has to be one of the best / funniest comedys ever done..
why wouldnt anybody buy one.
Go ahead and treat yourself to one , i did cos i got the whole box set..
