Reg Varney also played a drag performer in a seldom seen film from 1973 called The Best Pair of Legs in the Business, a bitter-sweet drama set in a seaside holiday camp.

Stan has picked up the wrong washing. Blakey is confronted by the owner and it is full of women's undies. Blakey is arrested for being a knicker-snatcher. One dolly is Wendy Richard.

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

Let me rephrase that. The initial stop work by Jack was bc the canteen was left with no one to cook hot food. The machine was brought in and later Olive.

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

I think I remember. The canteen is closed and replaced by a machine. The food in it is so bad that Jack calls a meeting and that is when Olive gets the job.

Yes Olive joins after the usual cook leaves and the canteen is left without any hot food. That is reason for the stop work.

It's something to do with the canteen. There's no-one to make breakfasts for the early shift and Olive gets a job as cook.

No not precisely. That instance with Olive getting a canteen job was one of the episodes I think. Yes it has to do with the canteen.
