The hit television sitcom On The Buses was a massive hit across the
world and ran for seven seasons from 1969 to 1973. The success was
in no small part due to the immense talents involved both on the
screen and off. With its exceptional writers and a cast of
household name actors, the series sprang from the screen to
captivate audiences from that start and retains its magic to this
day. Now, for the first time, author and custodian of the On The
Buses Forum, Craig Walker, has compiled a comprehensive reference
work for the whole series with over 1,000 separate entries. Did you
know for example that the special effects for the film version were
created by Les Bowie, who later won an Oscar for his work on
Superman the Movie? Or that the lyrics for the film were written by
Roger Ferris, the sound engineer on The Beatles last ever
recording? An A To Z of On The Buses is a goldmine of information
featuring not only fascinating trivia but also in depth interviews
with cast members and amusing anecdotes from other members of the
crew. Written to appeal to fans young and old from all over the
world this book not only offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane
but also full character, cast and crew biographies, details about
the buses and studios used and much more. You haven't learnt all
there is to know about this classic British comedy until you've
read An A To Z of On The Buses.
