Gerroff! What do you mean forced, it was a bloody good show...

Well it just just seem to recycle the same plots, always seeming to end up with Compo careering downhill in some form of wacky transport  ::)(although never a bus)!

Been watching it too. Very much like a bus version of The Chicken Shop.

Similar also to "The Secret life of the Pub". Too many hybrids but I enjoyed the programme

@D10 I am afraid I have to agree, however, in the interest of keeping to the thread I would like to point out that the MCW Metrobus' were in pristine condition whenever they appeared on screen. No bus anywhere is in pristine condition when it is in service. Then again this was the time before Fare-Dodging youths that graffitied every flat surface... Good comedy, Good metrobus. End of...

More than happy to get the topic back on thread mate.

I think it is fair to say they would have supplied the best condition Metrobus to the BBC for filming purposes. In the same vein, there used to be a Atlantean in a heritage red livery to represent the old Huddersfield Corporation, that used to turn up regularly so this must have been deliberately supplied for filming.

A arriva daf decker on Eddue Stobart

Perhaps slightly off-topic because it is a film, but it was on telly last night. An early 60's British film called "A Kind of Loving" has been shown a few times on True Movies recently. Some of the scenes are inside the lower deck of a Guy Arab, some of which have the actual bus sound behind the dialogue. The shudder when the clutch is engaged, the gearbox whine and the blast of a Guy exhaust......wonderful!
