The television series ON THE BUSES was a huge hit with viewers becoming an evergreen favorite for decades to come. In 1971, Hammer Films brought the first of what would become three feature films based on the series to the big screen – so successful they were amongst the top-earning British films of their time, even out-grossing James Bond’s Diamonds Are Forever.
Punch your ticket for the first journey of this film trilogy, ON THE BUSES, with all your favourites on board including Reg Varney, Doris Hare, Michael Robbins, Anna Karen, Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis as Inspector “I’ll get you Butler!” Blakey.
