Hello and welcome to the ON THE BUSES newsletter, may I take this opportunity to wish fans and members a Happy Christmas.

I am glad to report that DD Home entertainment will be stocking ON THE BUSES DVDs and tapes in the New Year. They are a very reputable company; you can order your stuff via phone, mail order, or the web site which will be useful for overseas fans. DD have a fantastic range of titles including many specialist subjects and classic comedy. You can even order a catalogue on line because the choice is so great I have put a link at the end of this email so you can see for yourself and maybe save money on your Christmas presents. (Give the fan club a mention if you contact them, thanks)

The ON THE BUSES Christmas edition mag will be ready for posting next weekend. The edition includes an ON THE BUSES crossword and a competition where you can win a video of The Very Best of ON THE BUSES if you have that already other alternative prizes are available.

There are also 2 articles about real life ON THE BUSES and the now regular reminiscences of the world famous bus driver Tommy Steele. It also includes pictures, Look In strip your letters and emails pages and a whole lot more.

If you are not a full member you can reserve a copy for £3.00. Email for contact info

As you have probably known already we are trying to get ITV3 to show ON THE BUSES since Granada Plus is no more. Please if you have not done it send an email to itv3@itv.com with please show on the buses in the header, you can put whatever you want to say in the rest of the email. Pass this email on to others who may also be able to help in this quest, thanks.

If you have any ON THE BUSES trivia or articles, pictures please send a copy into the fan club as we would love to see them and maybe include them in a future edition or put them on the web site.
