There was something missing during "On the Buses" (LWT) besides the regretted absence of Michael Robbins, that is, who is written out of this series. I finally isolated it to the smell of ozone. This was not a bus, it was a boarding house. Precisely the kind of humour which traces its descent from postcards and piers.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 10th February 1973
