On The Buses - The Butler's Paper The Parlour

Possibly one of the funniest scenes ever in On The Buses and pure slapstick. Full marks to Doris Hare for being such a sport although this was clearly a well rehearsed team effort that would have worked equally well on stage..

Doris Hare was sister of Robertson Hare, better known for his role as the sherry-drinking Archdeacon in "All Gas and Gaitors" - the ecclesiastical sitcom which ran from 1966 to 1971. Sadly only a few episodes remain of that particular series - criminal quite honestly.

Episode "Union Trouble" - written by Ronald Wolfe and
Ronald Chesney. Anna Karen (in the glasses) is the only surviving member of the cast seen here.

Really interesting that Doris Hare was the sister of Robertson Hare. I didn't know that and I watched him in an episode of 'All Gas & Gaiters' the other day.

@applemac555 nor do a lot of programmes on tv today?actually the media is still way behind and stereotypes all the list you put

[applemac555]

@afertyus1000 it wouldn't be shown today as it doesnt 'celebrate diversity'; no gay people, people in wheelchairs, no feminists or asylum seekers.
