History Film / HolidayOnTheBuses

Once there, Stan uses his staff discount to bring his family - mum Mabel (Hare), sister Olive Rudge (Karen), brother-in-law Arthur (Robbins), and nephew Little Arthur (Adam Rhodes) - down for a holiday. Once there, it seems romance is in the air for all: Mrs. Butler gets rather close to Irish widower Bert Thompson (Brambell), Jack tries to shack up with the same Red Cross nurse, Joan (Williams), that Blakey has fallen for, Olive and Arthur are mistaken for a much more loving couple than in reality by Wally and Lill Briggs (Mullard and Watts), and Stan tries to woo many different girls - Mavis Hudson (Maureen Sweeney), whose overbearing mother (Eunice Black) keeps getting in the way; Sandra (Sandra Bryant) another worker at the camp; and Maria (Gigi Gatti), whose overprotective brother, Luigi (Franco De Rosa) roughs him up.

After a disastrous accident caused by bus driver Stan Butler (Varney) and conductor Jack Harper (Grant) which Inspector Cyril "Blakey" Blake (Lewis) was unable to stop, all three men are fired by the Town & District bus company and have to find work at a Pontins Holiday Camp in Wales - the former two on the tour bus, and the latter as security inspector.

* HotterAndSexier: The film features nudity for the first time and the holiday resort allows for more women in bikinis.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After years of slacking off, skimming money and causing trouble for the depot, Stan and Jack finally get the sack.

* MyBelovedSmother: Mavis' mother won't let her have any time alone while they're on holiday at the resort.

** After their failed date that ends when it's discovered Little Arthur messed up the walls, Mavis is never seen despite the film only being half over and she's quickly forgotten about.

* WhichRestroomDilemma: After breaking her glasses, Olive spots a ManInAKilt and mistakes him for a lady, leading her to accidentally follow him into the gents' toilet.

->'''Blakey''': It means I'm 'ere to keep out all undesirables: Lads an' 'ooligans an' that.
->'''Stan''': Well, ya failed, ain't ya? Coz we're 'ere.

-->'''Blakey''': Oh, ''lovely''. 'E's cuttin' 'im short!

-->'''Arthur''': Are you ''mad?'' We can't take all that lot.
-->'''Olive''': Well, I only packed the essentials.

-->'''Olive''': Arthur, I'm out of my depth!

--->'''Wally''': Yeah, but, er... while we're still awake, what about, er, you an' me, er-
--->'''Lill''': You ''must'' be ''demented''. Get back to yer own bed. Saucy old ''bugger''.

--->'''Arthur''': Olive and I have not performed together for far too long.
--->'''Olive''': Well, ''that's'' true.
--->'''Stan''': Blimey, I was only askin' for y'to do the milit'ry two-step, not the Film/LastTangoInParis.

-->'''Arthur''': I borrowed them off of the Inspector. It might have escaped your notice that he 'appens to be rather bigger than me.
-->'''Olive''': ''Everyone's'' bigger than ''you''.

--->'''Olive''': It's my bikini! I've lost the bottom half of it!

** Although Olive and Arthur were expecting another child at the end of ''Film/MutinyOnTheBuses'', their second child is nowhere to be seen here, just like Gloria, Stan's fiancée at the end of the film.

* SpeedSex: When Jack and Joan are about to have it off in her office, she writes that she'll be back in ten minutes on the chalkboard outside. Jack takes offence to this, claiming he can do better than that, and changes it to thirty.

** When Olive tries to find the light switch in the dark, Wally and Lill overhear her from the next chalet over and believe she's trying to find Arthur's penis. When the lights turn on and it is revealed that Olive has ruined the freshly painted walls, Arthur asks why she put her hands there and complains he'll have to paint them twice in two days, the Briggs think he's talking about having it off.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: After returning from the toilets without her glasses, Olive makes a BlindMistake and ends up in Wally's bed, ending up joined by Wally. When she realises what's happening, she screams and awakens Lill, who assumes that she is trying to have it off with her husband.

* LotsOfLuggage: For the Butler's trip to Pontins, Olive packs far too many cases to fit on Arthur's motorbike, and even what she can bring strains the clutch and requires everyone to have to push:

** After Stan blows up the Butler's toilet, steam comes up out of Wally's and burns his rear.

* KarmaHoudini: Jack ruins Blakey's relationship with Joan, and which causes him to try to attack Stan and lose his job at Pontins but doesn't receive any form of punishment for his actions.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Luigi doesn't take kindly to blokes who try to ruin his sister Maria's reputation. Stan ends up finding this out the hard way when Luigi roughs him up in the kitchen, while Blakey gets threatened for spreading rumours about him.

* {{Crossover}}: Arthur Mullard and Queenie Watts reprise their roles of Wally and Lily Briggs from ''Romany Jones'' which was another {{Britcom}} by Ronald Chesney and Ronald Wolfe, the creators of ''Series/OnTheBuses''.

* AllThereInTheScript: Some names aren't given in the script:

** We don't get to find out Joan, Maria, Luigi, Sandra, Mrs. Coombs, Betty, or Ethel's last names.
** The same can be said for Mr. and Mrs. Hodges' first names.

* NonLethalExplosions: When Stan drops a lit cigarette into the chalet toilet after it has had petrol drained down it, it blows up right in his face without harming him, while it also sends an explosion out of a drain right next to Blakey, who is simply thrown back unharmed.

** Although Olive and Arthur were expecting another child at the end of ''Film/MutinyOnTheBuses'', their second child is nowhere to be seen here.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Jack pretends to have an agonising pain in his leg to skip the queue at the Joan's office, just so he can have time to shag her.
