History YMMV / OnTheBuses

** Katy (the girl whose knickers Stan and Jack leer at while she stands on the bus) is played by Moira Foot, who would later be best known for playing Denise Laroque in ''Series/AlloAllo''.

* SignatureScene: Stan's skid test, ending with Blakey being thrown off the bus and skidding across the tarmac.

** A busman from "Boxing Day Social" is played by Creator/KennethWaller, who would later be best known for playing Old Mr. Grace in ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'' and Grandad in ''Series/{{Bread}}''.

** The pretty girl on the bus who Jack leers at during the opening credits is played by Linda Regan, who would later be best known for playing April Wingate in ''Series/HiDeHi''.

* ValuesDissonance: The main plot of the film boils down to Stan and Jack being so against the idea of women working the same jobs they do that they scheme to get them fired, the only other women at the depot who aren't drivers work in menial jobs such as clippies or cooks. The film also claims that women can't be bus drivers as they'll eventually have to leave to have kids and start a family or are too emotional to deal with the pressures of driving a bus.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Fans of ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'' will be surprised to learn that this show originally had a black character named Chalky. It also predates Creator/JimDavidson's infamous comedy character Chalky White.[[note]]Anyone in the British armed forces with the surname "White" inevitably got the nickname "Chalky". Men who had been through the British forces in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and the conscription years afterwards would know instantly where it came from; those who went on to write comedy would have seen the humour of applying it to a black man called "White"[[/note]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: Doreen from "Late Again" and Wendy from "The Other Woman" are played by Creator/KateWilliams, who would later be best known for playing Joan Booth in ''Series/LoveThyNeighbour''.

---> Five decades on, the officious Inspector Blakey now looks like the hero of ''On the Buses'' -- a lone public servant battling a pair of uniformed perverts and their hideous families.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The show itself, particularly the recurring 'misuse, theft or otherwise exploitation of depot supplies for personal use' plot frequently crosses the line. However, the show manages to top itself in the series two finale, when in order to film a scene of Butler and Harper sunbathing in a cemetery, the production staff actually went out to a real graveyard, with Reg Varney and Bob Grant wearing nothing but shoes and trunks the size of their pants. And had them lie on the ground for as long as it took to execute that scene.

** When Olive's sidecar separates from Arthur's motorcycle, the extra wheel that allows it to keep going can be spotted.
