I think you mean Pat Coombs. They put spiders in her cab.

Trivia...Coombs played Inspector Blake's sister im the On the Buses spin-off series Don't Drink the Water, in which Blakey retires from his job and moves to Spain with his sister.

Spot on staffslad. I watched DDTW. Had its moments.

A well known actress played one of the women drivers. Name her and what did Stan and Jack do to get rid of her?

This has not been answered.

I answered it but it is probably on the previous page of posts now. I think "grand" was changed to "randy".

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

In On the Buses (1971), with what did Jack and Stan lace the tea of the women bus drivers?

Not laxatives. Something else to make them use toilet often.

Laxatives?

Not quite. Remember, Olive was pregnant at the time...what kind of tablets do doctors often prescribe to pregnant women that makes them do a lot more of a certain natural function?

The 1968 one isn't actually a movie, but a TV series episode compilation. The first story is episode 2 of series 1 entitled A Picture of Innocence.

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

For some reason, these big screen versions rarely if ever used the original theme music from the TV series. I wonder if it was due to copyright issues? I don't just mean the OTB films...Love thy Neighbour, UP Pompeii...all the ones I can think of did the same.

The first Please Sir movie in monochrome had the original theme tune; whereas the second movie in colour had a different theme tune
