I am not so much reviewing just the first On the Buses movie but really all 3 combined, as they are all at the same level for me and that is equal to the series.
Doesnt matter if you have or havent watched the series, these have to be taken independently to make sense anyway.
The series ran from 1969 to 1974 and the films were made 1971, 1972 and 1973, but in the films Arthur and Olive have a baby not see in the series plus in the series Arthur and Olive split up so you have to treat the films separately from the series.
I have watched the films a few times and i do enjoy them, but having just watched them again just after watching the series, i did notice quite a few ideas and scenes basically appeared in both a film and the series.
By the way, in one of the films, the first one i think, Pat Coombes had a sizeable role as a bus driver, and of course she was reused in a different role as Blakeys sister in the offshoot series they made after on the buses, called Dont drink the water.
Enjoyable...
7.5 out of 10.
