  • "On The Buses Redux" is a homage to everything that was both right and wrong with British popular culture in the seventies. On The Buses was a staggeringly popular TV show which is now probably viewed as a laugh-free phenomenon. Except, that is, for the character of "Blakey" as brilliantly realized by actor Stephen Lewis. Whatever else was wrong with 70's TV, Blakey still rocks! This short is a distillation of all three Buses films as experienced through the prism of Inspector Blake. One last point - the "Buses" film trilogy is the only one in which, one could argue, each film was better than it's predecessor. Beat that "Godfather" and "Star Wars"!

    what so many ppl dont get is it was current at the time and brilliant and now a brilliant nostalgia as well of better and simpler times for those of us of a certain age as everything from our youth often is :)

    I was once on a bus that stopped at every newsagent so the drivers daughter could buy a certain product and no one had it. Hahaha. I'll get you Butler. Hahaha. Brilliant.

    Such a good series and free from the pc crap of today. Micheal Robbins was my favorite the dry way he delivered his lines . The series has a sentimental value for me from school and college days and catching buses . Great decade.

      Laugh, son? What he did wasn't funny! It was his job to get those buses out, even dealing with lecherous layabouts like Butler and Harper - Aooooooooooo. Oh Gowd! It was serious business mate!
