Bus Nation Pilot Part 1

WATCH THE PILOT AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BY MAKING A COMMENT. GO ON FACEBOOK AND JOIN THE GROUP 'GET BUS NATION ON TV NOW' (if you want to that is) ...If we get enough loving we'll make the 2nd one... if we don't and you think it's just bloody awful then we'll probably stay at home with some tea and biscuits.

Is it a holiday video or a documentary? What would happen if you filmed your way around the counties of Great Britain, extracting historical and modern snippets of interest as you went. What would happen if you could only travel using the good ol local bus service? Could you get everywhere that youd want to visit? And what would happen if you threw in some unsigned music also? Bus Nation would happen... that's what!

The Bus Nation project has undergone some conceptual surgery and friends and supporters of the project may be interested to know that the show will be concentrating on the counties of Britain, where they are, what they have to offer and what gems of national interest or non-interest lie within. Of course the whole challenge aspect remains: whether or not it's possible or not to achieve this by using the public bus service ONLY. The big question is 'can we access the wonders of our local hidden treasures on the good ol' bus?' or is the bus simply a means of getting to and from the humdrum routine of work. Within each episode there are facts-a-plenty, stories to enthral, local legends and ghostly goings on to be discovered. The rest of the show is just sheer fun, toil and trouble.

The project has been in the making for two years and (in a nutshell) is about three thirty-something companions (Mike, Kier and Steve) who travel alongside "Bad Jack" (responsible for many things as well as filming the whole experience). Almost talisman-esque, there's also the catchy and folky Bus Nation song to band about and get people singing in the local, cultural fashion. Gawp in endearment as the BN team embark on a challenge that will unearth amazing discoveries, long lost treasures (fnar fnar), real heroes.. as well as a few worms, bits of old action figures and sweet wrapers but that's expected when you're digging around a bit. To explain the show in one paragraph: Bus Nation is one feast of a journey with an option of national or local history for starters with a lovely pudding containing culture and craziness to round it all off before bedtime.
