May 05, 1969 - On The Buses - Returns.. London Weekend Television's Top 20 comedy series On The Buses returns to viewers screens this weekend (London on Saturday May 31st and other areas Friday May 30) but the regular cast will be using a slightly more modern bus than the one in this picture. Pictures with this 1932 Renault Autobus are Reg Varney the bus driver; Mother (Doris Hare); Conductor (Bob Grant); Reg's sister (Anna Karen); Inspector (Stephen Lewis); and Anna's husband (Michael Robbins) who for the next six weeks will be appearing in more situations on and around Luxton and District Traction Company's bus depot, which actually uses up-to-date Bristol Lodekke buses. The Renault was, until only six weeks ago, the only bus of its kind in this country. Owned by Adam Bristow of Kingston Hill, it is often entered in vintage rallies etc with Roy Stringer of the Robin Hood Steak House, Kingston Vale, as co-driver.
