Stan (Reg Varney) announces that he is going to get married to his engaged sweetheart Susy (Janet Mahoney) in this comedy sequel to the original On The Buses movie which passed into quick oblivion in 1971 – which, in turn, was based on the extremely popular On The Busestelevision series.
His family – dependent on Stan’s income – decide that Stan must train his unemployed brother-in-law Arthur (Michael Robbins) to drive a bus.
Meanwhile, at the Town and District Bus Co mayhem ensues when a new General Manager demands a string of new regulations are adhered to, including uniforms only to work, two-way radio and new fire-fighting equipment in the depot.
Stan then blackmails the Manager into giving him the job of the driver on the new money-making Special Tours Bus. If only the inspector hadn’t taken Stan on his trial run to the Windsor Safari Park.
The screenplay is by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney. It’s a terrible film and the comedy is crueller and more bitter than the TV series ever was.
