Interested in getting any of the "ON THE BUSES" feature films that were released in cinemas as a spin off of the TV show, also would be keen on getting any TV episodes.
Thanks
Pat

Although I dont have a single Reg Varney film I am a big fan and recently watched the first series on DVD. I hope to have his This is your Life shortly but would be interested to hear how you get on with finding his features on film.
Best wishes.

I do know that Holiday On The Buses is available on 16mm as i used to have a print myself, the colurs were very sharp and the soundtrack was very good

Hi Patrick,

I have two 16mm B&W Telerecordings of "On the Buses" episodes somewhere... I wasn't really planning to sell them, but I might be convinced to part with one or both of them. If you want I'll try to dig them out and get you more details...

Thanks for the replys.
I have just seen the DVDs and the quality of the films is very good, released by Hammer films if I am right, one of them grossed more that that year's 007 Bond film!

I must say, as a collector of Hammer films, that there seems to be very few 16mm prints of their 1970s comedy films in circulation; it's easier to find some of their horror classics!

I'd particularly like a print of 'Man About the House', but I don't suppose I'll find one.

Hi Adrian
Yes I would think that everyone who has good Hammer films would be holding onto them, the picture quality of their films was always very good.

I was watching Reg Varneys This is your Life today which was very interesting. Kepp in touch re On the Buses as I am also a little nuts on the series.
Best wishes
