Mutiny On The Buses

Bus driver Stan Butler agrees to marry Suzy, much to the anguish of Mum, her son-in-law, Arthur, and daughter Olive. How, they wonder, will they ever manage without Stan's money coming in? Then Arthur is sacked, and Stan agrees to delay the wedding. Meanwhile, he hits on an idea: Arthur should learn to drive a bus. Somehow he does just that, and even gets a job. Stan then blackmails the Depot Manager into giving him the job of driver on the new money-making Special Tours Bus. A great idea ...if only the inspector hadn't taken Stan on his trial run to the Windsor Safari Park

One of the worst comedy films ever made.

why is that then timmy?

Don't know what inspired you to post this but coincedentally Mark Gatiss does a weekly review of sit-com film spin-offs on R4's Film Programme. Last Sunday he did Mutiny On The Buses:

Not his favourite by any means. He also mentioned it was the highest grossing British film for many years to come but didn't tell us for how long this masterpiece held the record.

George, there's already a thread for this.
