Revues:On the Buses Page 2

EPISODE: 2. SAISON: 4.

Blakey has fallen for canteen worker Molly and wants to marry her and go and live in the country. Jack and Stan are not pleased when they see Stewart, the tough new inspector imposing his hard line authority. Jack and Stan are also aware that Molly is fickle and will two-time Blakey.

A situation is contrived where the Butler family are aware that Stan has had Molly in his room, after which Blakey catches the two of them snogging on the bus. He is not convinced when Stan says he did it... (suite)

EPISODE: 7. SAISON: 4.

Blakey takes sadistic pleasure in making Stan and Jack man the bus for the dreaded kids' outing, which gets off to a bad start when Blakey accuses Stan of giving his nephew a girlie magazine.

The kids put sugar in the petrol tank and the exhaust drops off, requiring Stan to head back to the depot where the entertainment would then be provided. Stan is forced to do a drag act to amuse the kids whilst the bus is being mended.

EPISODE: 1. SAISON: 4.

When the rest of the family are going to stay with Aunt Maud, Stan is hopeful to have the house to himself with girl-friend Suzy. However they take an age to leave and Stan has to repair the sidecar before they can go.

Unfortunately his weekend is ruined because the motorbike and sidecar end up in a ditch and the family are forced to return home. Stan and Jack's plans for a double date at the Butler house are therefore spoiled.

EPISODE: 13. SAISON: 3.

Edna, one of the clippies at the bus depot, moves into Stan's room with her large dog. Stan sleeps in the front room, but he tries to find a way of bringing Edna downstairs in the night without the rest of the family knowing.

Arthur knows of his plan and does his best to block him, so Stan barks like a dog to bring Edna downstairs. However she assumes Coco is pining for her and takes the dog into her room. Ultimately Stan ends up dog-sitting whilst Edna goes out on a date with Jack.

EPISODE: 12. SAISON: 3.

Mum needs more housekeeping money but Stan and Arthur can't give any more than they're already giving. Stan suggests that Arthur should sell his motorcycle and sidecar.

They make an advert and Stan places it on the bus depot noticeboard. Stan and Jack make Inspector Blake interested in the combination, and give him a test ride in it. After an accident with the combination, Inspector Blake refuses to buy it.

EPISODE: 11. SAISON: 3.

Stan has been seeing Blakey's niece, Sally for several weeks. When Stan announces that he wants to marry her, Blakey insists that he and Sally meet Stan's family. So when Stan invites them round for dinner, the truth starts coming out as Sally starts criticising Stan's pronunciation and manner, plus not wanting to stay in the Butler house when they marry.

EPISODE: 8. SAISON: 3.

At Blakey's behest a two-way radio system is installed in the drivers' cabs, meaning that the depot can hear what is going on in the cabs at all times - not a very popular idea with Jack and Stan.

However, when they pull two clippies, one of whom leans against the radio switch, turning it on, Blakey hears the sweet nothings Stan is telling her and assumes that they are meant for him.

A very funny scene occurs near the end when the bus fails to clear an overpass and Blakey is left... (suite)

EPISODE: 7. SAISON: 3.

At the social club Stan's Mum meets a man called Wilfred and her behaviour changes drastically. She stays out late with him and buys clothes more suited to a younger woman in addition to a wig.

She neglects her household chores, meaning that Stan, Olive and Arthur have to do their own cooling and cleaning. Fortunately for them however, they discover that Wilfred is already married.

EPISODE: 5. SAISON: 3.

Olive wants to re-decorate her and Arthur's bedroom. To do it on the cheap, Stan gets two tins of paint from the depot. They are the bus colours - green and yellow.

Unfortunately he omits to add hardeners so that the paint is very, very, very, very, very slow-drying and Olive gets hand prints everywhere.

EPISODE: 4. SAISON: 3.

Stan samples the home-brewed beer which he has just made. It is very, very strong indeed, so much so that when he goes to work he is already tipsy and Blakey breathalyses him. Thanks to Jack's little ploy the result is negative and Blakey assumes Stan is ill, sending him home.

Here he finds that the family have well and truly been partaking of the home-brew and Arthur and Olive are getting very amorous with each other.
