Inspector Cyril Blake has retired from the Luxton Bus Company (On the Buses) and has persuaded his reluctant sister to join him in Spain. He would have preferred to have gone on his own but he needed her half of their mother's legacy to buy the new flat! But when they arrive in Spain things are not the same as in the brochure - the flat is not finished and building is still taking place. The lifts don't work, the sun is too hot and the food is inedible - and don't mention the plumbing!
Three old men from Yorkshire who have never grown up face the trials of their fellow town citizens and everyday life and stay young by reminiscing about the days of their youth and attempting feats not common to the elderly.
Running from 1969 to 1973, with three spin-off movies, 'On the Buses' was made by London Weekend Television.
Stan Butler lives at home with his overbearing mother, his frumpy sister Olive and his lazy brother in law Arthur.
Stan works as a bus driver for the Luxton & District Bus Company, with his conductor Jack.
The bane of their lives Inspector 'Blakey' Blake who is often checking up of them and threatening them with the sack for lateness and untidyness.
