I could never get my head around Don't Drink The Water and gave up on it after episode one 😲In On the buses Blakey was an only child if I remember correctly and this never floated my boat for that reason and was a poor spin off. I was and still am a massive On the busses fan but even the writers in that could be lazy at times ( or got short of ideas) If you watch the whole series you will see many of the original ideas were re written or tweaked for later episodes. I often think some of the later and funnier episodes of On the buses were the ones written by Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis, what really is sad is what Bob grant went through after it with his mental health. It is a real shame that the true spin of series Back on the Buses never got the funding from STV as things could have been so different for Bob, RIP Bob a true legend.
Doesn't he resemble the actions and sounds s of Alf garnet in Death us do part. When he sees his apartment for the first time. Perhaps why the series was a flop is because he's not once again teamed up with Stan and the conductor in On the buses which was a chemistry they all had
Don't Drink The Water Series 1 Episode 1: Home From Home 1240pm 14.2.23 aka how the Mediterraneans under the private enterprise policies of the former tory government have denigrated the water quality which are so used to in the UK... as for dont drink the water aboard? - bear than in mind when yer next at a french or Spanish buffet/breakfast bar...
@@meadc6754 if that is the case, i LOVE THIS SHOW!! If you think, the main reason for Brexit was for freedom and independance but you would not understand...sorry
@@simonmacarthur6808 I understand the arrogance and xenophobia of the English in the 70s as I lived there. Fortunately I moved to a better place decades ago.
This series is a hidden gem! Blakey retires to Spain, imagine if he bumped into Stan and jack on the beach 🤣
they should have done a spin off film from dont drink the water where that happened.
if it was american tv theyd doubtless make a cameo appearence4
It was a poor spin off if you ask me, If i remember correctly Blakey was an only child in on the buses.
@@MrBulldog125He had a sister in the series, seen in a mock photograph in the episode Going Steady, and her son is in the episode The Kids’ Outing
Tea@@foxmulderGCyeah lol Blakey and his look alike in it lol
Stephen Lewis
The man was really funny definitely one of my top ten go to guys when I need to laugh out loud.
Don't Drink The Water Series 1 Episode 1: Home From Home 14.2.23 1243pm why do these guy sound like the chip munks?
Makes Blakeys' problems with Stan Butler and Jack Harper getting the number 11 out on time look like a walk in the park! 🤣🤣🤣
Anything with Derek Griffith is bound to be brilliant
I absolutely loved this show as a kid growing up in Australia 😂
I love you Stephen lewis and beautiful woman Pat coombs ❤❤
I watched On The Buses as a kid. I didn't know this show followed. Does Jack or Stan come visit? I shall enjoy this
Brilliant Brit Comedy.
Love this show 🇦🇺😃

Your comment makes no sense and by that I don't mean I disagree. I mean, it's the ramblings of a madman written with awful grammar.
20:00 sums up brexit
British TV was always full of racist tropes in the 70s. With that and the trashy tabloid press it’s no surprise Brexit one the day.
