Mutiny on the Buses is a 1972 British comedy film directed by Harry Booth and starring Reg Varney, Doris Hare, Michael Robbins, Anna Karen, Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant.
However, when Stan and Jack accidentally cause a fire at the depot, the staff quickly find that the fire-fighting equipment is woefully inadequate, resulting in chaos that leads to the inspector's new van being crushed between two buses whilst they are being moved out of the building.
At the same time, Arthur, who secured a job at the company, is horrified when Olive arrives at the depot during the mayhem, and crashes the motorbike in the flooded maintenance pit, after believing that her husband had lied about the fire drill.
Later that evening, attending the company's darts competition in the busmen's canteen while debating on how to secure the safari job, trouble arises when he, Jack and Mum are forced to take Olive home, after she starts a fight with Arthur's clippie, Norah, for trying to flirt with her husband and getting more attention than herself.
[4] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "More TV sitcom (situation comedy) transferred to the big screen, is shot in the same flat, one-dimensional style as its predecessor and appears even more hard up for humour.
A typical joke taking literally an order to wear only company uniform to work ("no knickers for the girls", the distributors' handout gleefully explains), and baby's toilet habits are assumed throughout to have inherent comic qualities.
You'd have thought there was simply no more mileage left in the jokes about Blakey's schedules, Olive and Arthur's marriage and Stan and Jack's allergy to work, but they managed to squeeze out a third movie Holiday on the Buses the following year.
