The 1969 edition has been lost, but the 1972 edition – featuring a goose that the cast are chasing for Christmas dinner – exists in the Thames Television archive, which is now owned by FremantleMedia. Walker, Craig (2012). The On The Buses Quiz Book. Andrews UK Limited. p.267. ISBN 978-1-909143-11-1. Characters from On The Buses appeared in two other series. A spin-off, Don't Drink the Water (1974–75), ran for thirteen episodes, featuring Blake retiring to Spain with his sister Dorothy (Pat Coombs - who also played one of the female bus drivers in the first On The Buses film). Anna Karen reprised her role as Olive in LWT's revival of The Rag Trade, which ran for two series in 1977–78. Ancestral Name: Olive and Arthur's child's name is finally revealed to be "Arthur", just like his father. To differentiate between the two, the child is known as "Little Arthur".

True they wouldn't pass today's snowflake society but in the seventies anything went it appears. Was that such a bad thing?Grant appeared in all 74 episodes and as a writer with Stephen Lewis for a number of episodes from series 5 onwards If Stan didn't try to show off the emergency door to Susy, he would've never broken the handle and so the bus would've never been able to get a lion onboard. This not only costs Stan a raise in pay but also the bus company a large revenue stream. It does dip quite badly towards the end, I'm not sure it was ever the same when Michael Robbins left, it definitely lost some of its shine when Varney left, but the remaining cast did their best. Mutiny on the Buses is a sophisticated, intertextual, self-reflexive discourse on the nature of the classic novel by Charles Nordhoff. It also takes in Kafkaesque leanings by exercising a circular narrative. That some could mistake it for a witless, charmless and crass 70s sex comedy is beyond me.
