    My mother past away in 2010 aged 88 yrs, she had been a clippy on the buses back in the 1950's. She lived in Australia having been a £10 POM back in the 60's and absolutely loved the series Especially Stephen Lewis as the Inspector. She always said it was very well researched and reminded her so much of those days on the busses. About a year before she past away I had bought her the boxed set on DVD of all 74 episodes. When ever I see anything about the series it reminds me of those days back in the 50's when I was a young lad.

      ITV have over the years aired episodes and they are still as funny.
      My neighbour was a clipper in the 50’s and 60’s having married an Irishman who drove buses in Birmingham.
      Both sadly dead now

      @@JohnEdwardBerry my late mother🙏had many friends whom she met during her working life and in retirement had 3 best friends. One of whom was a £10 POM to Australia
      This was the early 50’s but she was ‘homesick’ and returned to UK.
      She married and had a family but died at the age of 52 of a massive heart attack in her kitchen
      Many did return for whatever reason

    I remember meeting Mr Lewis on Wakefield Station some years back he cut a very forlorn figure. I told him how his character Blakey was a good part of my childhood. Its frightening really, I am now an old aged pensioner. He seemed a very humble person.

    I actually met Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant at the back door of the New Theatre Cardiff . They were both in Panto there, I must've been 10 / 11 at the time. They both signed my Lions mask ( not sure what the Panto was , so long ago ) .They were great with us kids and gave his " i will have you Butler " catchphrase. Great childhood memories.

He was really funny in that, one series on the buses he went to the zoo with the bus driver can't remember the driver's name, the lion opened door came on the bus and they heard something behind them when they look around they both screamed and went up stairs lion followed them, also that monkey drive the bus as well also that's funny.
