FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Hi there,
We are a Cheshire based publishing company and we are due to launch
the taster edition of a brand new British TV and heritage-nostalgia
magazine titled 'On The Air Magazine' at the British Isles Show in
Toronto, Canada, in March, (and later in 2005 in Australia, New
Zealand and the UK) and feel that this may interest you since so many
people overseas watch 'On The Buses'.

If you would care to log on to our new website
http://www.ontheairmagazine.com

you will see what the megazine is all about

Dear OTB,
Firstly i would like to say as a Brit who now lives in DENMARK (i originally come from Ellesmere Port in Cheshire) what a joy it was to find this Website, i now no longer feel like i´m the only one who enjoys the on the buses TV series and films, i have watched them since they started in 1968 when i was a kid, and have watched them ever since. I have found this website packed with information that i never new existed until now, keep up the good work.
I also thought you might you might like to know that i have a kind of link with the "Holiday On The Buses" film, the holiday camp where it was filmed is where i was on holiday in 1972 when i was twelve, the actual time they were filming there, so i got to see all of the cast while filming was in progress, some of the scenes were quite funny to watch as they had to do some of them more than once, sadly though i never got to speak to any of them because at twelve years old i was quite shy and didn´t have the nerve to go up to any of them and ask for an autograph. But i do have the memories of that glorious holiday and have had a great affection for that film ever since. I went been back to that camp about twenty years later for a visit and the place just ain`t the same, it looks rather shabby now compared with the film, possibly because the camp was only opened in 1969 or 70, i´m not quite sure, i know it wasn´t long before they made the film there though.
thanks a lot for happy memories.
yours faithfully Trevor Davies.

I was using the internet and just happened to see if I could find more information on Reg Varney. I live in Australia now, but was born in the East End of London, and I am a relative of Reg's, although he probably isn't aware of that!
I have met his brother, Sid Varney, at a couple of weddings when I was a little girl, and my Great Grandmother, Mrs Ballard, was related to them. I hope Reg is well, and if you have a news letter regarding where he now lives, and whether it's true he paints lovely pictures, it would be interesting to find out!

Yes Reg has painted many pictures and is quite a good artist by all accounts. I will send you an address of the lady who deals
with mail for Reg. Good luck

As a boy i would watch the ON THE BUSES series here in Australia on tv with my parents. Nowadays such
British comedy gems are now only found on cable tv. At the moment they are playing the series that Reg Varney is no longer
in. Also, curiously, Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis are the writers for these particular episodes. They are certainly versatile
actors!

Hello from L.A. (home of the Forest Fires and Earthquakes!  I am an
Ex Brit and use to watch this series all the time. CHEERS Fiona

My nameis Len and I am from Canada. I absolutely love the show, and still continue watching it to this
day.

I have only just recently been advised of your fan club and I was hoping that you might include me on
any relevant information pertaining to this fantastic series.Being a baby boomer generation person, I can recall growing up
with this series and I would love to share memories with like minded devotees. I wouldlike to meet up with any other Australian
based fans.emal address ; twobarnes@ozemail.com.au

I have only a few memories of the time I spent working with Reg - I remember him
being a very shy and quiet man, backstage.  This surprised me, because I was expecting him to be like his 'on-screen'persona. 
He was truly lovely to work with - and I remember him being very encouraging to me - at that time I was a 'new','up and coming'
performer in Australia.

Hi I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and I have been trying to find videos of "On the Busses"
but have been unsuccessful. Can you tell me where in Canada I might be able to find them (information sent)
