With regard to the recent talk of the late Reg Varney and his TV show "On The Buses" it was mentioned that there were three cinema films also made.

UK members may be interested to know that on Saturday 20 December ITV3 is showing all three:- "On The Buses" (1971), "Mutiny On The Buses" (1972), and "Holiday On The Buses" (1973).

Thanks Maurice, must get those taped as good for taking you out of yourself etc.
Good fun, hardly clasics but very enjoyable.
Nice they are doing that.

Did Hammer Films producer all three of these films or only the first one? Never knew there were two sequels.

Hi Brian
Just viewed HOLIDAY ON THE BUSES and it came up at the start
A NAT COHEN PRODUCTION FOR ANGLO-EMI FILMS. This may shed some light on the subject.

The book, "Hammer Films" by Wayne Kinsey, says all three were Hammer films.

They were all made at the studio of MGM-EMI Elstree, Borehamwood.
