<P> Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse did several sketches using the characters of On the Buses in various sketches to lampoon the humour of the show . </P> <P> On The Buses is sometimes used as an example of the sort of sexism that was happening in society in the 1960s and 1970s, occurring after the freedoms of sexual liberation, but before the rise of feminism; in particular, the derision of one of the main female characters (Olive Rudge) for being unattractive, and the fact that younger attractive bus staff would be regularly looking to have sex with the two main middle - aged male characters (Varney and Grant, who by the time of the first film in 1971, were 55 and 39 respectively). Some episodes of the show also featured a black character referred to as Chalky which could be construed in a negative light. . </P> <P> In 1990 there were plans to revive the series as Back on the Buses, and the original cast appeared on Wogan to promote the new series . However, although a pilot script was written, it wasn't made . Back On The Buses was to feature Stan Butler, having run his own business for some years and made some money, starting his own bus company in the newly deregulated market, and hiring Jack to work with him . As they attempt to get the company off the ground, they discover a rival company has set up in the town, owned by none other than Blakey . The comedy in the series would have come from the conflict between the two businesses, and how Stan and Jack attempted to battle Blakey's bigger and more professional company . </P> <P> Visual Entertainment released On the Buses: The Ultimate Collection, an eleven - disc box set featuring the complete series on DVD on 12 September 2006 . </P>
