Was about six years old, when German TV during the early seventies had first aired the four Miss Marple movies, always at tuesdays in the early evening. Still remember how my twin sister and me sat before the televison in our pyjamas, with a cup of hot chocolade in our hands, and without even understanding the plots and twists, just enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the movies, Ron Goodwin's earworm music and of course Margaret Rutherford's unique personality and acting talent. While the end credits rolled, once again with Goodwin's earworm, we were being sent to bed. And without any exaggeration I can say, Margaret Rutherford was my ideal grandma, that I ever wished to have, but actually never did, because both our grandmas had died before we were born, and thus we had to grow up without such a wholesome experience. Even today as an adult man she is still my ideal grandma. Kind regards from Germany !

Still watch the episodes and films when on TV, Just a shame and sad how Jack in the show spent his final few years skint and at melt down.

Reg Varney was great. He left at the right time. After he went. That sould have been it

Reg Varney lived in Budleigh Salterton. He was another great proformer to come from the East end

Loved on the Buses. Wouldent want it remade now. It would have to be very different. So let's just enjoy the original with that amazing cast

He was superb in The Man Who Haunted Himself.

ON the buses Absolutely fantastic Comedy

Thank you for sharing this. Its much needed and neccessary. X ⚘️

Great sharing...from a great actor. This man resonates with me fully. ❤

I remember an episode of "Yes Minister" where Derek Fowlds delivered a line that near cracked me up. (17:00) Derek was describing something that was basically nonsense so he used the line, *"a consignment of geriatric bootmakers"* then translated the phrase to *"A load of old cobblers!"* A dry delivery that, as I said, near cracked me up!

what a classic show from the 70s and you just have to laugh at the one liners from all the cast this was a top show still makes me laugh today

She will always be very beautiful, even when she is, 100.

Margaret Rutherford, cannot be bettered. Original film best

Loved listening to this, you cover so much, and it was perfect. Fabulous film

I hate to say it but Val reminds me of Lady C.

Stephen and the rest of the crew are amazing!

The two Ronnie's wrote on the buses.

Bob Grants accent was so convincing, I was shocked when I heard him speak for the first time as himself. Sad what happened to Bob after on the buses ended.

They all seem so alive, but all gone now sadly. It was hardly Shakespeare, but it was funny.

There is only one comedy for me and that's classic 😁👍

Sit down, Colonel !

So sadly missed along with Ivan Owen and as a child Brush especially. Life is far too short with so much crammed in. Thank you for gift Mr Derek.

on the buses cast ,smashing lovely people,great show all missed ,but never forgotten,thank you for the laughs.

He played his characters so well I thought that was how he was, amazing to see him speak in his original voice, brilliant actor.

Over Christmas me and the kids binged on …. on the busses absolutely comic gold , great documentary brought a huge smile .. happy 2025

Never the same when reg varney left

The bbc turned it down it was itvs gain and it was a great success

Feels weird, seeing him without a moustache.

Like sim great actor 🎉

gd if yu like pilers.

I only wish Wolfgang Preiss was in it, like Anton Differing he always plays German officers, could’ve been in the Ferdy Maynes part.

It’s on tomorrow BBC 2, and I will be watching it, just love the opening sequence, the Junkers 52 flying over the spectacular Alps with that dramatic Ron Goodwin score.

Brilliant series

was a superb actor

I want a box set!❤

LOVE IT WHEN ON THE BUSES ARE ON THE TELLY, SO FUNNY!❤

AUDREY A MUSA SAGRADA DIVINA , OCULTISTA ETERNA E IMORTAL

Brilliant bloke.

In his charming autobiography Roger said he was very proud of the film, and having just seen it I can see why. It's well-directed, with a fine, unusual performance by Moore himself, and the ending is as haunting as anything from that spooky early 1970s era. Enjoyed your chat!

The late, great light entertainer that was Reg Varney; forever Stan Butler in the eyes of the general public! Thanks for uploading - liked it and subscribed.

Absolutely positively it's a one of the best war movie❗

He’s right he does look evil 😂 but a great actor indeed.

bravo! thanks so much. I've just recently come to watch and appreciate Margaret Rutherford. A friend gave me the gift of the Rutherford Miss Marple. would love to see the other films she was in.

The best of British never fade 😊

A beautiful man. Sadly missed.

The bravado and innuendos back then was tame and hardly enough to raise an eyebrow but today the comedy is shock, horror, swearing and smut. Those were the days of quality entertainment that was family viewing and sadly much of today’s comedy is post watershed. Bravo to the guys that laid the foundations but a shame that today’s comedy has to get so personal to get a laugh. RIP Reg.

Even this was filmed 20 years ago.....where the hell is time going! 😒

A brilliant actor and a true gent in every respect. I loved him in Yes, Minister and also Heartbeat, thought he had a fabulous presence on the screen. Hope he's doing alright patrolling the rural areas of heaven. Thanks for the entertainment Derek ❤ xxxx

I always liked Watching Michael Robbins playing Arthur in on the buses I remember seeing Michael Robbins in an episode of the episode of the Avengers called Take Me To Your Leader starring opposite Linda Thorson & Patrick Mcnee & he also appeared in one episode of the Sweeney & one episode of Minder

My very favorite Gandalf!😀
