5 out of 5 stars Another Great British sit. com. from the 60s/70s   September 30, 2007
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

br /This was the first of a massive seven season's of the smash hit comedy TV series 'On The Buses'!br /br /Many people may not know (or remember) that Stan's 'original ' mum was played by the much talented actress from the 1930s; Dame Cicely Courtneidge. She was married to 30s film star Jack Hulbert. Though she is good in this, I think the change to Doris Hare was a good one. Dame Cicely's acting was a little dated - even in this for the time, and she was probably past her best.br /br /This first season was not particularly outstanding, and consisted of seven not terribly funny episodes when compared to much later ones, in fact, the first is surprisingly 'unfunny' I thought in comparison to the second which was in total contrast, hilarious and reminiscent of what was to come much later. There were no continuities in terms of story-lines from episode to episode in these type of comedies usually, but in this first season, we see a little, in the form of a character's return for a later appearance in episode seven, having first appeared in episode two - this was the sexy 'Iris', wonderfully played by Gwendolyn Watts, who is sadly no longer with us...br /br /Network are usually quite good at leaving in Ad. Bumpers in their releases, but in this first set, only a couple have them intact, all the others have either been lost or edited out for some reason, which is a shame.br /br /This was a comedy that definitely had to find its feet in my opinion, and some of the characters are a little 'wooden' and were to change somewhat over the years; Arthur was actually employed in this first set, whilst Jack plays a considerably smaller role. The title theme music - though the same, is played at a considerably slower tempo here too which does not help... br /br /In summing up; this was a great comedy that got better as it went on.

I thought it was quite funny, but I liked the other series with the updated signature tune.
