Holiday On The Buses - ITV3 20/9/08

i do tend to agree with that. i am a huge fan of on the buses, but i much prefer the other 2 films to this. i too have the dvd, so am not likely to be watching this time.

especially with the stupid ITV censoring. Cut out the first bit with the knockers incident, edit out olives bum, edit out being called a sex maniac, most likely edit out stan being thrown into a tray of eggs as it is 'violent'.

I went to Pontins a few years ago for a snooker tournament. The place looks no different to how it was in the film. The swimming pool changing rooms were disgusting. I half expected to see Olive's undies still floating in the pool.
 
First time I saw it was in 90's,I laughed from beginning to end and it got me into the (admittedly better) On The Buses series.
I still feel it is the 2nd best of the movies,sure it's not high art but simply a comedy of it's time in the same vein as the Carry On movies.

It's a movie for fans of the series (and first two movies) or those with a fondness for early 70's,smutty British comedy,nothing more,nothing less.How can it be one of the worst movies ever?
 
Arthur: No we can't do it, Olive and I have not performed together for too long.
Olive: Well that's true.
Stan Butler: I was only asking you to do the foxtrot, not bleedin' 'Last Tango in Paris'.
 
Not a brilliant film but I always remember first watching it when I was a kid and perhaps that's why I'm still fond of it today.

I actually went to the Pontins where it was filmed when I was at school. I never realised at the time though. It was only later that I recognised it.
 
Always makes me laugh, when they are creeping about in the dark with tins of paint & the toilet.

Still the work of genius compared to the crap they usualy wheel out on BBC1 & 3.

i'm actually wanted to see this movie.

my mother and sister are extras in it somewhere

the family were on holiday where ever this movie was filmed. they where in some cafe/outside decking or something - and the Producer came round asked people to leave the area because of the camera crew wanting to film in that area. my mother refused - telling this guy that because she was on holiday and had paid to be there - she was going no where. the Producer agreed with her and reached a compramise - and offered my mum and sister to be in the background during that scene.
 
I used to go to a caravan site that was just by the bridge that they drive over, where Stan and Olives cases fall into the river...near Rhuddlan Castle, so it brings back a lot of childhood memories for me too.
